A newly-finished, mega-time-consuming project! I started with the “That 70’s tee” pattern by @yarnandewe and added my own chart. I both love the end result, and am annoyed by how some of the detailing turned out. #knitting #intarsia #fandom #fandomknits #josephquinn #eddiemunson #strangerthings #fanart (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCruc4JD6i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of #mayufandomknits. It's a bobble hat worn by Gwen in the latest Spiderman film. Made it last summer and found it last night. It goes nicely with my new hair! #knitting #fandomknits

Welp my laptop is at 10%

Guess I’m done being downstairs in my knitting room tonight. Farewell Nightvale scarf. Until tomorrow.

Because I am a knitter *and* a nerd...

I'm doing pattern breakdowns of various Parks characters' hats and scarves (though mostly hats so far) over at the Galentine's Day Fanwork-A-Thon. Let me know if there's a piece we missed!

I can (and will) also do this for other shows/movies, if you have requests.

I'll also totally knit ANYTHING for people who provide the yarn, in case I haven't already made that clear...

WIP Wednesday!

These are my 2 current WIP's. I have others still on the needles, but they're languishing until I pull them out later on.

They're both socks inspired by Sherlock. The first is a very subtle pattern of diamonds worked in possum, merino and alapca yarn, and the second is a sock for Lestrade. I have a headcanon that he makes his own socks as stress relief and they're usually crazy wack and loud. These, he wore to work while dealing with Moriarty breaking in everywhere. The patterns are Business Casual and Sign of Four.

I'm on the second of both and so far I'm avoiding Second Sock Syndrome pretty well!

knitting update

I currently have six WIP's on the go, although I've put 3 of them on hold and am concentrating on the three I am making for one of my friends.

Her wedding is coming up, and so I am making her a secret gift for her to wear on her wedding day. It is my first lace project and I think she will really like it. I won't tell you guys what it is yet, as she might see it on here. Once she has it, I will post some photos of the finished object.

I'm also making 2 other things for her to be sent along with the wedding present. She has done a lot for me over the course I have known her, she had helped keep me sane, and this is a little something to show her how much I appreciate her.

The other 3 projects I have on the go are an 'I AM SHER LOCKED' square for my sherlock blanket, I am remaking the first on my striped handwarmers, as I went up a needle size on the 2nd and it fits much better, and I am making a pair of socks made out of the most delicious deep purple possum, alpaca and merino yarn. The pattern I am using jumped out at me whilst I was scrolling through ravelry, and it happened to be a pattern inspired by Sherlock. It's 'Sign of Four' on Ravelry. The yarn I'm using is Waikiwi Prints which I totally recommend. Incredible... It also happens to be the exact colour of Sherlock's Purple Shirt of Sex. This combination was meant to be. This combination is my otp.  They go together like rama lama lama, ka ding da ding da dong.

I've been working on my third square for my Sherlock Blanket...

...and it has been a bitch. I've had to restart it several times due to errors in the pattern. I've just about finished it, and i thought it looked too small... so I  measured it against the other squares. It was FIVE inches too small. THE WHOLE FUCKING PATTERN WAS WRONG. I HAVE TO FROG TWO FUCKING WEEKS OF WORK.
