Knitted Baby Hats...

So I've found another client. She is a wonderful woman from California, with 6 kids, nieces and nephews. She made an Alchemy request for 15 different children's hats: 9 knitted baby bonnets, and  6 crocheted visor hats with detachable flowers of different colors. (She also asked for a crocheted clothing line of which I will post here soon. It's really neat). It's been a bit tough trying to find the colors close to what she wants, but so far it's been a good experience...I'll be posting pictures up as I make them so get ready for more posts! :)

Amazing...


Wow...just...wow... I wish I had this kind of talent for knitting. I really, truly do. It is simply sick. (Sorry guys, no pattern. The designer clearly wants to keep it a secret :( )


Knitted DNA Helix...


I had the funny mind to make this knitted DNA Helix and give it to my genetics professor, Steve Denison. He's a bit of a stale looking fellow, however, underneath the leather exterior hides some pretty humorously soggy interior that just takes some probing to discover. I'm still thinking about making it for him. If not I could always amuse myself with it instead...me thinks. I'm guessing the designer made the thing for his or her child since the pattern holds the title of  Baby's First DNA Model (Yes, the link is connected to the pattern).

Knitted Hellboy Plush Toy...

I found this on a blog on which the author was actually dissing crocheting. The post was entitled "13 things not to crochet". The Hellboy toy, however, is not crocheted, but knitted. The blogger apparently does not, or can not, tell the difference. Whatever...Who cares, right? Knitting and crocheting are both awesome! The misinformed blogger can bite me! 

Who agrees with me???


Drops Designs...

I have found yet another awesome website containing both knitting and crocheting patterns that are worth so much of your time! It's called Drops Design by Garn Studio, and it has a plethora of FREE patterns. I couldn't believe it at first but all of the patterns are free. Plus the patterns are nicely designed, not at all like the crappy ones you find when googling for free patterns ( well, most of them anyways). It's an incredible sites for women's, men's, children's, and miscellaneous patterns. I'm so excited about it I've already bookmarked over 2 dozen patterns. Yeah! There are just so many patterns! :::swoons:::  The site also sells other knitting and crocheting products as well, such as crochet hooks, knitting needles, yarn, etc, etc. This site is sick...
