Hello Kitty Hat

My newest endeavor...

Labels: hello kitty

Yes I knit in public, and I'm still incredibly hot.

I went to a superbowl party Sunday night. I only went to be sociable. I absolutely loathe Football. It was fun nonetheless. I knitted the whole time. Yeah Dana in a room with a bunch of people who don't know me very well, just knitting away. I probably seriously limited my hotness status in that 3 hours. Oh well. I finished a scarf.

first felting attempt

So I have finished knitting my purse. Now I just need to felt it. I did a trial first time felting run tonight with a swatch and this is what I got...

This was also a first time to knit a pattern. I drew out the cherries on graph paper and knitted them into my swatch. This way I am all ready for my Johnny bag. ;-) it was Johnny Depp...
Here is the original pic of Johnny to see...

Such a hottie!

Oh the things that keep me up at night...

This is going to be my next knitting endeavor... I got the idea from the stitch 'n bitch nation book. Its the poster boy bag. I've been up for 2 hours trying to get my poster boy into graph form. I did it! Woot! I knew I had photoshop skills for something. I still need to get rid of some of the gray. I'll stay up tomorrow and do that. This is very hard to do and keep the integrity of the photo. I had to do alot of this by freehand because the stupid contrast and brightness kept bluring out too much of the nose and lips... I don't want to waste the time making this if people don't know who it is so ....10 points to whoever can correctly guess who this is...


Funny I should stay up so late on the starting of this project. I can't even start it until I finish like 2 others... Oh well. I get excited and want to make things work...
I eventually want to do this one too - I got this wonderfully manipulated piece of art from someone else, but I'm dying to use it. Her pic already graces a handbag of mine, so I don't know what I'll do with it, maybe I'll be a super loser and make a pillow or something.... You don't get points for this one. Its way too good not to see.

Can you see these pics??? Not sure if I did it right...
