It's Winter!

About a week ago, I made a hat. I wanted the hat Amy Poehler is wearing in the Gap ad, but I wanted it thick and warm!

So I made my own.

I dreamed up the pattern while at work at Pianos one night, and spent a Sunday afternoon getting it right. I think it turned out nicely! I want to work on changing the cable pattern so that the ribbing along the bottom doesn't get lost...


In other news, Kate and I started a company!! Go to www.ilikeyou.asafriend.com to see our jewelry!

My First Furniture!

Hi I haven't posted in a brazillian years, but I have been busy. My store closed, but I got a TON of fabric in the close out, so there's loads of projects to come...

First is this ottoman I re-upholstered!


And here is the TV stand I painted and wallpapered!


And here is a stool I painted and covered in oil cloth as a night stand!

I made this for a dollar

One day about a year ago, I was going to Metalliferous and Flynn said, "Get me something that's a dollar". So I got some pieces that totalled about a buck and made this for her.

Corsage

Flynn and I went to Prom so I made us corsages...


And here's us at Prom.
I made the shoes, too.

Bling

Chris and Matt are doing Erik's bday party, so we decided to give them a little thank you gift.
Their SPARKLY new tip bucket:

I can cable!

Michael, wearing my first cable project...
Turned out well, eh?




It's 2 of my favorite things in one photo! Michael and knitting!

Short muffler...

Sort of a bolo tie style?

Do Not Open Until Dec. 25th

Nobody that these are for reads this thing, so I think I'm safe....



My first attempt at soldering (which smells horrendous, by the way)

Fingerless!

To make eating cupcakes easier...

Just like Julie Doiron sings

Wintermitts on the radiator...

MITTENS!

I made mittens:


And mini mittens!



more mittens to come...

And what about the packaging?

What do you think??

Scarflettes

Here's how you wear them...

Up close:


(ok, so the apple one isn't all sewn down yet, but you get the idea, right?)

More earrings

Here's some new pairs:

More puppers...

bear and cat... and blender.

New earrings!!

Bag Lady!

Here's some bags I made....



This one is hi-jacked kinda. See the original at Girl Shop in the bags section.



This one isn't entirely finished. I'm going to put in a light pink cotton lining.

Finger Puppets are the new Wrist Cuffs...

Yup.
I am currently working on this illusion scarf (also called shadow knitting) and it's a real bitch and it's taking forever and I have to follow this really intense pattern and I'm just feeling unaccomplished. I haven't finished anything in forever.
So I made a bunch of little finger puppets to give to Mel's kid.
I have a dog, elefant and pig so far.

I'm working on a bear, cat and bunny right now.
Any ideas for other animals?

really bad pictures but...

I need to get a router and have a photo shoot in the bathroom with all my new creations, but just to give you a sample of what I've been working on:

Earrings!!!!

So last night I played crazy bead party with Sarah and made a bunch of chain drop earrings... too bad my computer isn't up online at the new apt so I can't post pictures, but one of the pairs looks very similar to this:

So I want to sell stuff. If you're interested in anything on here ever, email me- cristalle at gmail dot com. I have a paypal account.
