i haven’t made a halloween pumpkin since i was a kid. one with triangle eyes and blocky teeth 😉
so today i thought i should give it another go, bought a pumpkin at lunch break and did some pumpkin crafting. here is the result:
mr pumpkin is sitting on the balcony now staring at me through the door 🙂
i stole the stencil idea from zombiepumpkins by the way. i never knew there were so many cool pumpkin stencils on the web!
i ordered two 4ply and one 6ply sock yarn in tweed look per colour. usually i’m happy with the drachenwolle colours but this time i’m a little disappointed: the turquoise is almost green and the dark pink/purple is almost black 🙁
i want to make gloves from my mum from one of the 4-ply sock yarns. not sure which colour yet though. maybe i’ll have her have a look and decide herself so she complaint afterwards 😉
to have enough yarn for gloves and a matching hat for myself i ordered more than just 1 skein each… i’m not sure yet. guess it will be the dark purple for me: eyelet cap from vogue knitting and miss sophie’s hands from julia müller.
i had to spend a week at home because of my ruptured ligaments. as you can imagine that was veeery boring and i got all creative and did this with adobe illustrator. it was great to get to work with illustrator again and i quite like the result 🙂 expresses my state of mind 😉
as it is a vector graphic i can use it for anything i like in any size i like. might get a tshirt printed. or a bag, or, or, or…
what do you think?
london is not only good for sightseeing, party, music and all that, but also for crafts shopping. have a look at my treasures.
2 4oz skeins of cherry tree hill sock yarn (100% merino), simply knitting magazine, son of stitch ’n bitch:
i got those at „i knit“ near waterloo:
„i’d rather be knitting“ cup, england and mini star buttons:
i got those at „all the fun of the fair“ at kingsley court, carnaby street:
winding some lovely wollmeise „indisch rot“ to start a lace ribbon scarf while i’m in london. i don’t go anywhere without my knitting 😉
i love my swift and yarn winder. so comfortable. and fast. and fun. 🙂
today i invested a few dollars for the wordpress css extension. now i can modify the css of my blog *yippeee*
you can either build the site’s css from scratch or – as i did – use a design as basis and modify what you like.
i quite like the „misty“ design, so i used that and basically changed the width of the content block, the link colours and the headline image…so far so good.
let’s see what i come up with next. possibilites are (well, almost) endless! 🙂
just some scribbles of a knitting maniac 😉
