Photo-time!!!

What follows is just a bunch of pictures. Not a lot of text, but some eye-candy... Hopefully. Enjoy!!

Note that I cut her hair. Looks better, right?

SORRY!!!

I haven't been posting in a while. Well... That's not true... I've been editing and re-editing the previous post for the last couple of months... ^^"
Just one present to go now! I hope Nicolas is gonna like it :)

Just to prove that I haven't been completely inactive in this time, here are some pictures that you haven't seen yet!

I started (and finished) a Slytherin scarf! The green is actually too light compared to the movies, but it's "emerald-green" just like the books say. Just with the stripes I had to compromise. They're ash-grey, not silver.
Here's a picture of me wearing the finished infinity scarf with the matching hat!

I actually curled my fringe just to take that picture. Ain't I nice :P
And some perspective!!

 It's a really long slouch. All my hair fits into it and I don't even need to hold the hat in place with bobby pins.

I was gonna crochet a little snake to sew it onto that round green patch at the beginning of the hat, but then people said it looked like Link's hat and I decided to leave it the way it was :)








I also got an order form a friend of mine for a hood like this one:

The yarn I used was much less bulky, but I tried my best to make it look nice. She asked for it to be in the actual cheshire cat's colours. Shades of purple. I did that, even though I grew up with an orange cheshire cat. To me, cheshire cat will always be orange...

Anyway, here's my version:

 The ears might be slightly too low, but I really like it. I even managed to make them stand up.

I think I might do another one like this for myself or my sister, but not cheshire cat, rather a teddy bear or something along those lines.

I haven't touched any yarn since Christmas. Until yesterday. I hand-wound some center-pull balls of yarn-scraps. It's really cool that I found how to do it by hand, but it's actually really tiring and I'd still like to have a ball-winder...

I really want to get back into crochet and knitting soon, because I don't feel like I'm being very productive lately... Especially since I re-installed the Sims 2 on my laptop... This game is addictive, even when it makes me mad, I can't stop playing it...

It's a vicious circle of Simlitude... (See what I did there?)

I also made some FIMO things with my sister. She made all her Christmas-presents out of FIMO. A Fez-keychain for my older brother, fruit-cane slices as nail-art for my older sister, a minecraft cube (earth with grass on top) for my little brother... Our oldest sister got a portrait of her and I got this little piece of adorableness:

She doesn't like the way it turned out because there's fingerprints on the yarn and some red got caught up in it, but I think the fingerprints make for a great fibre-effect on the threads and the bit of red could be a fibre of some other yarn or a hair of hers caught up in the yarn while it was wound into that ball. I really love it :)

I also made these. My sister gave me instructions on how to make the hook-handle, otherwise it would've looked dreadful... Well... actually it did look dreadful in the beginning...

Sorry about the low res and blurriness, it's a mobile-photo taken in the evening...

But then I added some polish on top of it. Silver and Gold. And now it looks just beautiful... See for yourself:

If you click on the picture to have it in its original size, you can even read the hook size! It's a 4.5mm hook. I don't know what that is in other charts... Sorry ^^" (I think it could be a G or H, though)
That other thing you see there, in case you're not a Whovian, is the sign that is on the TARDIS door. The writing is actually way too small to be properly read... the "assistance obtainable immediately" was so large I had to blurr the letters for it to fit in... :/
But I like it nonetheless. Even if I used translucent FIMO by accident and now it looks weird. I still love it.

I'm trying to think of any other things I might have made that you haven't seen yet, but I think I got it all covered... You can see all the Christmas-crochet I did in the previous post You can never start too early.

Keep an eye on my Youtube channel, because I'm going to be uploading a video on Double-knitting sometime soon!

Oh! Before I end this post! Happy New Year everyone! :)

Nekonvention!!!!!!!

SO!!!
It was awesome!!!
I sold enough items to earn twice the amount of money I spent on material!!!
Unfortunately I can't show you a picture right now, but I'm working on it!!!
And I'm preparing a video to talk about my amazing weekend!!!

As soon as that's ready, I'll complete this post :)

This is going to be a little different

Hello everyone! I am going to write the rest of this post in French, because it is mainly aimed at the people who will be coming to the Nekonvention!

Bonjour tout le monde!

Vous voulez une petite preview de la table? La voici:

Comme ça vous avez une idée de ce qui vous attend. Il en manque encore, mais c'est une grande partie.
Si vous arrivez et vous vous dites "Zut! Elle aurait du faire [insérer objet ici] aussi!" n'hésitez pas à me le dire! J'aurais un carnet avec moi pour prendre des commandes. (Ne vous inquiétez pas, ça ne va pas vous couter plus, juste parce que vous m'avez demandé de le faire, le calcul pour le prix restera le même. Par contre, s'il faut vous l'envoyer par poste, il y aura les frais de port à compter. Si vous voulez économiser sur ça, demandez quelque chose qui ne sera pas plus lourd que 2kg.)

Dans tous les cas j'espère voir un max de gens et surtout, offrir des sourires à certains d'entre vous! :)

J'ai hâte!

Evelyn
