Hippy Ring

I haven't posted in forever, but I have done a little knitting in the interim.

The guard broke on Rob's wedding ring, so I knit him a temporary one until we can get to a jewelry store. It felted when he washed his hands.

He calls it his "hippy ring" and he likes it better than his regular gold ring. Hm. Maybe I'll knit myself one that matches.

"Model" Dog

Here's Idget modeling the sweater I designed for him. Rob calls it his fag sweater because I made the neck so big it slides down for an "off-the-shoulder" look. Oops!

I made one for Toaster, too, but he has a heavier coat and doesn't get as cold as Idget, so he rarely wears it. I'll dress him up some time soon so I can get a picture up here.

And by the way, don't let Idget's, "I'm cute, yet suave" expression fool you. Ten minutes before I snapped this, I'd come home to find he'd gotten into the recycling bin, shredded a milk carton and pooped on the couch. Sigh.

Pentapus: The early years

This is the first Pentapus I ever made. It doesn't look quite as pathetic in the photo as it does in person, but there's a reason this guy lives in Rob's office and not on our convention table!

And so it begins...

I just had my first knitting pattern accepted by MagKnits, an online magazine.
Woo-hoo!

The editor suggests that once a pattern has been accepted, the designer should go tell the world, perhaps post an annoucement on her blog.

Uh, what blog?
