I've been knitting! Some blatantly doll stuff, some less blatantly doll stuff.
First
in order of completion, I made a beautiful (if I do say so myself)
reddish scarf for Ed. This was my first project using a waffle knit
stitch pattern and I really like it. I might go this route for a full
sized Rory-scarf at some point.
Ed
still needs some black trousers and a shirt like this in black (and a
better faceup) but the scarf is ACES. He seems quite pleased and I love
how it looks and fits him.
Second I made a pair of hand warmers
for Crunchy, whose body is incoming. In transit are his eyes, wig, a
basic outfit, and a pair of tennis shoes, and his body is on order from
Luts. He will be ready to go just as soon as he has a faceup, which can
be done just as soon as his wig and eyelashes arrive in the Dollmore
order that is currently in transit.
Crunchy's
mitts are modeled by Zephi, with whom he shares hand size and sculpt.
They will be on the exact same body, in different skin tones. The mitts
also match the scarf that I made for Jessie (Narsha) when she lived with me. I just need to figure out where I put that scarf. I think it's in the closet with a bunch of the MSD scaled props.
Then I made a series of squares with the intent of making Robbie a knitted blanket/quilt/something.
I started with one titled: All My Exes Live in Texas:
'Cause they do. Even ones I dated that used to live elsewhere, live in Texas now. It's like MAGIC. 8D
R is for Robbie (or Rory) it's good enough for me!
And
with this I was aiming for a pop of color but what I got was OH GEEZ
I'M BLIND, so I will need to make a few more bright squares to balance
it out. It's supposed to be cat paw prints but I think it looks like a
Trans Bear Pride flag. :P
The
colors aren't quite right for either so I'm sticking with CATS YAY!
BRIGHT COLORS YAY! Plus neither of those descriptions suit Robbie (his
character is neither Trans nor a Bear).
I have been working on a
Dragon square for the blanket for about a week but I got about maybe a
fifth into it and realized it was for one, oversized, by far too much to
fudge, and two, that I didn't have enough yarn in the tiny skein I was
using to finish the block, beautiful as it would have been. So I angrily
frogged it, and made a quick little knit instead.
A hat titled:
Strawberry Confetti Hat, for my little Spearmint who is not yet
faceupped. He's sealed but there have been extenuating circumstances
that have prevented faceups for several days. So, I tried to match it
for the one I made for October.
The
yarn was thicker, so I did less rows and it turned out a little bit
smaller, and also October claimed it. e_e;; So Joey gets the blue and
yellow hat instead.
I have a ton of sewing that I need to do, and
more knitting I'd like to do, but I think I'm gonna quit on the squares
for a little bit because quick knits make me so much happier. I like
cranking out something in an evening, whether it's some mitts or a hat,
or something else. I do love my tiny detailed scarves and all, but
sometimes you just need something quick and easy to clear the brain-fog.
Yeah for Trans Bear Pride! That is so great, I love it. And that little hat is a.dor.a.ble. Just saying.
