Girl on the Rocks

Tiny completed objects July 29, 2006

While at work i found myself with an hour to waste and I was desperate to make something. I found some acrylic yarn in my office and a crochet hook in my pencil cup, and i whipped up this little guy…

he is a little amigurumi droplet. we thought he looked like melted mochi so we put him in the mochi tray. I am also working on crocheting some bacon - you can see it in the foreground.

I also whipped up a prototype baby beanie that is supposed to look like a buckeye. The pattern needs some improving, so i will probably give it another try.

i will be sending it off to my cousin for his new baby that is due in a few weeks.

I have also made some progress on the the only big knitting project that I am working on right now, the clapotis. I have 3 dropped rows!

and finally, the results of my solar dyeing adventure

whew! That is some bright green.

Is that contagious? July 17, 2006

I caved - i am making a clapotis. Did you know that it is actually pronounced clap-o-tee? Around here, we (=me) prefer to call it the clap-twaaaa and finish it off with a snooty french noise.

I am making this as a gift and I wanted to use some nice yarn, so i turned to my friends at Brooks Farm yarns. I picked up some of their stuff at Stitches West and could hardly leave the booth. It is just so nice to be surrounded by their yarn. I chose the ‘Four play’ 50/50 wool silk blend in the color ‘gypsy heart 5′ and i got right to work.

i must admit that i am a little disappointed in the color. It really seemed much lighter in the photo online. But hey, i am giving it away so I am not going to worry about how much I like the color.

On an unrelated note, a good review by a real blogger of the knitpicks needles! i can’t wait to check out kate’s at knitting circle tomorrow.
