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:

So here you go, the patternto the TARDIS-beanie.

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:
