The First Robot Overlord

This was the first robot I knitted (a late christmas present). Pictures courtesy of the recipient. Looks like my intarsia left a little to be desired. Maybe I should have blocked it before stuffing it?

Greet Your Future Robot Overlord

This was the second robot I knitted; we included an internal wire structure so that his arms and legs were bendable. It was a birthday present for a dear friend.

Baby Robot Overlord

Robots robots everywhere. This is a baby version, that's why it's pink.

These are some pants I experimented with knitting this winter. The blue ones were from the knitty.com pattern "Blu" but sized up because my little one isn't so little. It had a 2-inch turnable cuff, to turn down when he grows, but as you can see he grew in between me measuring him and finishing the darned pants, so the cuffs were immediately turned down. They were a little tight in the bum, but he likes em.




The stripey ones used self-striping yarn, which usually doesn't come in colors I don't hate. But I found a nice blue combo, so I gave it a go for the baby girl pants. I made the waistband and the ankles in cotton yarn. This was sized up from a diaper-soaker-longies pattern I got a long time ago. I should have put shortrow shaping in the butt or just knit it up further because it really pulls down at the center seam. Why the heck wasn't a diaper cover designed with a fuller butt?

Fr0ggin' A!

This was my first major project. I designed it myself, based on some basic sweater recipe. Seed stitch, with three cables. I don't know what I was thinking with the cables... just wanted to try it out, I guess. I packed this project with me on a 2 month vacation with a dear friend. I didn't finish it... forgot about it, came back to it, abandoned knitting all together for a few years, and finally took it back up only to discover I was 1/3 of a sleeve short of yarn. That's what I get for taking 9 years to finish a project. These pictures were taken right before the biggest frog party of my life.


Here's what came of it, though:
A loose interpretation of the Donna top from Magknits. The sleeves didn't come out quite as I'd hoped, but at least I had enough yarn.

My budding interest in lace and our fantastic vacation in Portugal inspired me to make this small piece. It hangs from a piece of driftwood. Arty. Svigerinne teased me about reinventing macrame. Hey, /\/\4cR@m3 is t3h uber R0XX0Rz!

Baby Knitting

In considering starting a knitting blog, I perused the knitting pictures that I have. Because everyone knows the most important part of a knitting blog is the p()rn. I found this kinda funny picture of me knitting while holding my second baby. I'm a multi taskx0r!
