Jenny, aka Kounting Sheep, kindly tested my Cute is Always in Season cross-stitch for me last month, and she just posted pics of her finished project on her blog. I love that she used such fun colors in hers!
Since I am new at designing cross-stitch patterns, Jenny was super-helpful in advising me about how best to design the chart so that it’s easy for people to use. Thank you for the test, Jenny!
CRAFT posted a really cute video of stop-motion animated amigurumi from Japan on their blog yesterday. I checked out the YouTube link and found this other one that I like even more. Something to aspire to, perhaps!
As promised, a new love-themed pattern for yourself or your main squeeze!
Hugs has so much love to give! Squoze is just concentrating on breathing.
Techniques for this cuddle-tastic pattern include knitting in the round on double-pointed needles, picking up stitches, I-cord, and a tiny bit of mattress stitch.
I recently started taking a stop-motion animation class, just because I’ve always been interested in it. We haven’t gotten to the point of actually animating anything yet, but I’ve been especially on the lookout for good examples of it, and I just came across this video for Grizzly Bear’s “Ready, Able” (from one of my favorite albums from last year). It’s a great song and a beautiful (though somewhat creepy) animation.
Unfortunately, this little groundhog was in for a surprise this morning when he poked his head out of his mound to survey the shadow status. A giant furry beast snagged him!
Fortunately the beast just wanted to play, then go eat some cat food. Godfrey was left unharmed, but after that ordeal he can’t remember if he saw his shadow this morning or not.
Have you seen the tiny crocheted wonders of MUFFA? I’ve been following her micro-gurumi genuis on Flickr for a while, so it’s about time I admit tiny-thing defeat!
These are some of my recent favorites.
Insanely small and detailed!
You can buy MUFFA’s crocheted miniatures at her Etsy shop.
Maybe you noticed that one of these elephants is not like the others. It’s a small sheep made from this fun pattern by Flutterby Patch. (I also love the sleeping cat looming in the background.)
