Nautilus

So, many many bad jokes could be made about this little dudes name. “Nautie, Nautie” I believe was the title… but I will steer clear of that and just show you how cute he is.

Oh, now I see some stuffing coming out of his shell. Well, I’ll fix that after work.

He’s even got a creepy little cephalapod face… creepy but kinda cute?

Ok, so he doesn’t really look like a nautilus (See picture below), but it’s enough like it so that you can tell what it is, right?

Ok. Well.. sorta.

I thought the shell looked kind of cool before I attached the head and rolled it up.

it was like 2 ft long!

Testing, testing, 123.

Ok. So this might seem a little random, but I was wondering if any of you out there would be willing to test knit some patterns for me. You know, just to see if there’s any glaring mistakes and things like that. Since I made them up, I might not explain them very well, things like that. I’d be willing to give you the yarn to work with, if you didn’t want to use up any of your stash of yarn.

Patterns needing testing currently are of my Elephant, Turtle and the Ewok.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if you couldn’t finish them, but if there was anyone out there who wanted to give it a try, that would be super helpful for me! You can either just leave a comment here, letting me know which pattern you’d like to try, or email me at lexikaye (@) gmail (.) com and I can send you the pattern.

The Hair.

I’ve always been known for my hair. It’s just one of those things, pretty much my whole life I’ve been that girl with the crazy long hair. And that’s been fine with me, up til recently. I still look 17. Even though the braces came off, it didn’t help that I wore my hair in pigtail braids to work.

(R: Talitha, L: Me)

(Really ridiculous hair)

(Me, ringlets, Christa Blakey)

So, I marched in and asked for a “mature” haircut.

Tada!

(Mature haircut)

So, those of you who know me will know that this is kind of a big deal for me to have such short hair!

So, do I look older?


Tea Dye

So I tried a strange experiment the other day while knitting up my Ewok. I needed some off-white yarn, but all I had was pure white. So, I threw my yarn in a pot and brewed it with some tea.

I know it looks like pasta, but it would not be an enjoyable dinner.

I probably should have left it in there for just a little longer, it could have used a bit more color, but it accomplished the job just fine.

Oh, and please don’t mind the dirty kitchen….

I just have to show this off. This is baby Brody! Baby of my dear friend and former roommate Hope Eifert.

He’s wearing the jacket and the booties I made for him! Granted the sweater looks like it’s getting a bit tight, but hey, the booties still fit! And how cute is he, with his blonde surfer hair! I love this little guy!

Ewok

Ok, so this might just be too ridiculous, but I really wanted to knit an Ewok. I just finished him tonight.


I am aware that this is weird. I got the inspiration because apparently over 200 people have found my blog by looking up “Ewok Boats” into a search engine. Weird, I know. So, since they are apparently getting to my blog by searching something about Ewoks, I might as well give them something Ewok related to look at. So, my very own knit Ewok. I was surprised that there weren’t any knit Ewok patterns out there, so I had to make it up pretty much make it up as I was going along, so that’s why it may or may not even look like an Ewok at all… I’ll take better pictures of it later, but I just finished it a few minutes ago and couldn’t wait to put it up on the blog!
