#but using the yarn as is...

[gamebunny-advance]

Alright...

So, I started working on the "Ice" doll. In my efforts to try different things anytime I do one of these, I decided to try sculpting the hair this time to achieve its cartoony-shape.

In my opinion, it turned out pretty good.

But...

It's Mario. I just made Super f*ckin Mario, which was NOT the goal here.

So I peeled it off, and I'm going back to the drawing board for his hair.

it got turned into a 17" x14" pillow instead haha

The civilization trapped in an ice meteorite.

Superman, after saving the earth from another earth ending bomb, breeze through space, were glowing clouds of gas and dust known as a planetary nebula floated around aimlessly with glowing green dwarf particles as if a solar system was sucked into, but there only lays a sun and 7 planets here before before something caught his eye.

A pusling aimlessly floating ball like metorite full of frozen white ice with green dipped in the bottom in the middle of space. The pulsing glow flickers like a couple of very slow heartbeats.

Superman used his x ray vision to see inside, and what he saw immediately immediately griped the ice and speed flew over through back to the Watchtower which was not far from here.

Superman spoke in the coms of his oxygen mask to the Watchtower.

"Open the space entrance gates, and someone calls in Beatriz Da Costa. I found a floating town trapped in metorite ice with what seems civilians' insides." Superman spoke in the coms as he pushed the metorite carefully toward the watchtower, unaware of the gigantic glowing transparent being with 8 neon green eyes staring at him wrapped around the ice metorite like a Serpent to it's eggs.

I finished this at the beginning of December but completely forgot to post it (>⁠﹏<;⁠) I was inspired by the other fine people making yarnfellows based on @sleepnoises' lovely work and decided to make my own little amigurumi fellow

okay turns out trying to be all encompassing with my phrasing so no one starts discourse over what a skein is causes people to say "it depends" which is totally fair but i'm just going to go with my original question but with the picture example in the original post to begin with

This is what i mean by "skein", it can also be the "easy pull" form but i keep seeing people on youtube knit/crochet directly from something like this regardless of if its easy pull or not when i've always been taught to wind it into a ball first:

reblog for bigger sample size, explain in the tags if you'd like for why you do what you do

Ok ok I've started the bog coat 😔

[nembzz]

Holy shit my biggest project ever and my first blanket is finally done!!! Everyone look at it and compliment me because it is amazing!!

I can't believe I managed to make it so quick. I sent the first picture of me planning it on May 11th and on May 14th the first square was done (making the square took around 4 hours) 😁

This was also a great stash busting project 😁 I only had to buy 3 skeins of yarn for this and the rest I already had 👌🏼👌🏼

my favourite part of the yarn & fibre show I attended today was the lady who asked "may I touch your sweater" and "sorry I'm mauling you" as she examined the sleeves, and called her friend over to check it out as well 😭

Things currently on the first page of the "hot right now" section of knitting patterns search page on ravelry:

Several basic raglan sweaters

Mesh/fishnet sweater covered in sequins.

A dissected rat; complete with internal organs

Cute vest with stylized flowers

Two different sweaters (one pullover, one cardigan) with the same unicorn tapestry design by the same designer. Each pattern is $13 and there isn't a discount for buying both and neither pattern description mentions the other pattern. Designers can and should charge what they want for their work but this feels like a wild choice to me TBH.

Thong/Speedo "bulge" version-- ie designed for people with a penis. This pattern is no longer available??? Why is it on the hot right now page?????

Cute Christmas fair isle sweater.

Coin purse in shape of ten week old fetus.

Ranunculus sweater. Obviously.

Bookmark in shape of squished rat; complete with blood puddle.

Headband with extremely impressive goat horns and little ears. It's free and went in my library immediately.

5 different PetiteKnit patterns that still somehow look exactly the same.

Purse in the shape of grotesque head. For some reason the featured example includes a real cat tooth????

Hood with lamb ears being modeled by depressed young man.

That sweater with all the eyes which calls for yarn that is $58 per skein??

Hat that looks like a dead fish, but in a cute way.

Latest Stephen West shawl.

I don't know whats happening but the trending page pattern page has never been so chaotic. I am obsessed. Let's have more dead rat patterns and fewer tastefully boring PetitKnit patterns.
