Current Projects

[knitting_needle_ninja]

I'm still not used to looking in the stickies for the current projects thread. XD How lame am I?

Currently working on a Turkish rib tank top--I'm about 3/4 of the way done. I'm also working on two different batik dye projects, one of which is in the embroidery stage, which makes it about 1/2 complete.

I just cast on today for my first ever sock. Let's hope I can read the pattern! I usually make things up as I go along, but I'm not daring enough to try making my own heel flap, so I'm doing a simple pattern I found on knitty...the first time I've every really used a pattern...eep.

My other current project...well, it's not a craft, but it is fiber related. My roommate (Alice_Time) and I are starting a podcast, centered around mythology, writing, and art--with a heavy emphasis on knitting and the many other fiber-related things I do.

I'm still working on that confoun baby blanket for my cousin's up coming baby.

I was working on a white/blue/grey tank top, but I measured wrong and now it's a belly shirt!! I'll just wear it to sleep in I suppose.
I'm going to start a black and red striped tank top soon.

My project right now are a pair of leg warmers based on a pair I saw for sale on eBay.
I also have a fitted/corset style top I've been working on for a while, but since it's just a bunch of ribbing right now, I tend to get bored with it before too long when I do try and work on it.  

[Gossamer Bramble]

I'm sure that will be very pretty! I love corsets!

This is what I'm making (the fitted/corset top) though I'm making it with a yarn that has a bunch of blues in it instead of a solid color.  

[MonarchVictim]

Whoa that is a lot of ribbing! I bet it will be beautiful when you finish though. Be sure to post a pic!

Right now I am working on squares for my Square-a-Month afghan and I am going to try to sell some of my amigurumi dildos on Etsy so I am making an orange one today. I will probably be asking you guys for pricing advice soon, lol. And I also need to make one more thing as a birthday gift for my cousin in law by March 30 but I have no idea what yet.  

[Super MaWee-Wee]

amigurumi dildos?!
you have to tell me how well those sell haha

I started to make a new pattern for a weird amigurumi elephant for an art teacher at my school.
I was right in the middle of it and I ran out of yarn and stuffing!!
I'm hoping I can borrow a couple of bucks from my mom tomorrow so I can finish it.
And!
The teacher offered to pay me for it so I'll also ask you guys for pricing help.

I started my son's carseat strap covers yesterday.
I am looking for a nice quick purse pattern for my cousin in law.
I found a cute horse purse pattern I'm going to make for my cousin's daughter - I'm going to add a horn to make it a unicorn and possibly put a lining in it, we'll see.

I still need to start the other tree frog, another amigurumi for a friend (haven't decided what yet), a voodoo doll (per request lol), and some more kitchen stuff.

I finished two ami dildos this week and started a third. biggrin I will let you know how they sell Super MaWee-Wee. I decided to give it a shot since they are getting lots of attention on Ravelry, who knows if they will sell or not but I may as well try!  

[Gossamer Bramble]

Ha, I am curious as well!
Every christmas, my friends get together and give each other gag gifts, I think I'll have to make something like that as a gift, haha.

I have been taking piano lessons for a good many years now and to thank my teacher, I'm knitting her a purse with piano keys around it. It had color in it, but I'm just going to make it black and white so she can carry it around with many different outfits.  

[MonarchVictim]

OMG I just saw an awesome pattern for a piano key purse yesterday but I didn't know anyone who might use it! LOL. That will be cool, she's gonna love it!

I sure hope so!! I've been busting my fingers on that thing!

So I finished the elephant for the art teacher and she loooooved it!
She thought it was the cutest thing, and I have to admit I was really proud of myself once everything was put together.
I kind of couldn't believe that I made it.
I'll post the pic that I have in project photos.

Now I get to figure out how to make a tiger shark!
