The Doctor Who scarf is finally finished!

You might have seen the video on Youtube. I also posted it on knittingparadise.com
Here are the pictures:

This is what's left of the wool.

And here is once more, the video:

The music is K9's Lament by Chamelion Circuit.

Knitted Creaper Key-chain

For this project I chose to use two different shades of green yarn; firstly because a creeper is not one plain shade of green and secondly because I had only two different shades in the same yarn PLUS more than two would have been quite complicated not to get entangled...
I took these two:

They're the same brand, which is a german one "Meine Wolle Pro Lana STAR". It's acrylic wool and it's for 3mm to 3.5mm hooks or needles. Since I had two strands, I should've taken 6mm needles, but I took 4mm instead because I wanted it to look tight.
I casted on 15 stitches, but you're free to cast on as many stitches as you like. My finished product has a side-size of 2-3inches each... Which means it's quite big, so feel free to take less.
I knitted WHILE COUNTING THE NUMBER OF ROWS FOR THE OTHER PIECES, until it had a square-shape.
I fastened off and made another 5 pieces the same way. (My pieces were 15stitches X 20rows+1off).
On the last piece I added a chain to the last corner, where I would have fastened off. It's about 15ch.
I sew the creeper-face onto one of the squares; NOT THE ONE WITH THE CHAIN!!!
I sew everything together, left a little hole to stuff it, stuffed it, sew on the end of the chain to make a loop and sew together the remaining gap. This is what my finished product looks like:

I hope it's not gonna blow up; I spent the whole night making it...
Happy Birthday little brother ♥

My Scarf is 11.6ft long!

So... I've been continuing a bit and look at that!

And that!

I can't even think of a smile that would grin wide enough to show my delight!

I have used an awful lot of wool! This minus 750g that are already in the scarf.

Whoot Whoot Whoot!

SO! You might already have seen this beanie, since I posted a picture to facebook and to twitter and because I showed it on Youtube. However I now gave it to a very dear friend of mine who is very happy about it:

100 Pageviews - Giveaway

We just reached 100 pageviews a day. This means I'm having a giveaway. Whomever will be the first to retweet or like the post/tweet about this goal, will win something I made. =)

Thanks for this!


Congratulations to my friend Lea who happened to be the first. Now I'll have to rethink my giveaway... I can't give her 2 pokeballs xD
EDIT:
Lea accepted to leave her prize to whomever would be the next person to like/retweet. It turned out to be my friend Xavier. If you look at the Navi-pattern, there is a picture of Navi and two pokeballs, a normal one and an Irish-colored one. The Irish-colored one went to Xavier back then.
This means that Xavier couldn't get a second Pokeball either. He got to choose between a Totoro or a Buzz Blob. He chose the Totoro:

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday! Which means that I'm officially 19 now! I got loads of cool presents! All I asked for was a Rubik's cube, because mine was rubbish... I got one... For blondes... With all sides in pink... Thanks...
And I got a badger!!! I called him Charlie! I just had to!
I also got a "TARDIS handbook", a fan with bulls on it, a Hello Kitty plush, a TARDIS mug with a lid! A little purse which says "I ♥ HELLO KITTY", and I got volume 10 and 11 of D-Grey Man! Did I mention the badger?
I'm waiting for my parent's present, which is a Motorola FlipOut, and we'll see what else is gonna come...
I also got one present in advance last sunday. My older sister gave me a bag where my laptop AND my school-stuff all fit in! =)
I took the Nyan Cat Scarf with me to a convention yesterday. People were amazed, but noone dared to ask me where I'd got it from... Well one thing I know for sure: I'm gonna earn a lot of money when I'll sell my crochet stuff there next year!

The Phone-booth CD-thing is from my mom!

I wear a fez now, fezzes are cool!

So here you have the pattern for the fez. Please note, that the pattern I used for my fez is another one, but my fez is too small and too high, so I changed the pattern. I haven't tried this one, but I hope it's better.

By the way, I have a little something to tell you. I have put all the patterns that I had, that were not in a testing phase anymore, online... Which basically means, you'll have to wait a little while untill the next pattern comes. Anyway I'm busy scanning photos this weekend... Please don't be mad at me... I'll try to put another pattern online, as soon as I've had the occasion to try it. =)
