it's cute but needs to be fluffier, methinks. aren't there yarns that are fluffy default.

that said, i applaud your efforts.

 

I thought of that but didn't know how functional it would be if it was really fluffy.

 

yeah, well, my mum does a lot of knitting about the house... i would have thought something like this here: http://www.junghanswolle.de/stricken-haekeln/garne/effektgarne/brazilia?SID=SID_zivATk6mhBDzsQkRVrqc5aZqiH2c

she used to make scraves from similar wool and you could still tell where the substance ended and the fluff began, if that makes any sense.

I have an hour commute to work and back and I get motion sick when I read so I needed something to entertain me on the bus. So I started knitting hats. I am modeling a few here.

Some have homes,and some don't. And some hats went out before I could model them. But I like them all.

PS. Knitting a hat now.

 

Yvette, those hats are awesome! You should totally start an e-shop or something...

 

Thank you! I'll totally make you one! What colors do you want?

My first attempt at a Firefly hat. I made it for someone else and have never seen the show (*is shunned*) so it was made completely off pictures I found online. It turned out pretty okay but I did find things I would do differently next time.

 

I live in Florida and I'd buy one! Those are uber cool, Yvette

 

Nerd alert

Is anyone else super excited about the Star Wars Craft Book that is coming out?

I also made R2D2, Han on Tauntaun and Luke on Tauntaun, but I guess I forgot to take pictures of those.

I'm working on a crochet Wookiee that I will have to post when I finish it.

EL, i want to see the Han ... thingy.. please!

That is GORGEOUS.

 

those are beautiful, andrew!! i've always wanted to get into stained glass design. do you make them often? professionally? you could make a living at it, you're that good!
i'm gonna steal the last pic for a watercolour
and, thank you, as well

 

Wow thanks guys! I'm all about sharing my art, so steal away, and if you need more pictures let me know! I make a few a year. I thought about trying to start a business about a year ago, but unfortunately right now, people don't have a lot of money to spend on upgrades to their houses. I do have a couple of other projects that I'm working on to expand my portfolio though.

 

Wow! So many awesome things!
I LOVE the stained glass!

PS. I'll get around to the artoo bag, promise!

 

The stained glass rocks Block. I always wanted to learn how to do that.
