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.

More Baseball...

Here's one more that I made...
Go Cubs.


I've been working on tons of baby stuff for my friend Ali's new kid. But my home internet has been acting wonky, so when that's back in order, I'll put up pictures of all the baby booties and hats. And the camera cases I've been working on.

I think this weekend, I'm going to raid all of the NY Public Libraries for knitting books!

Also, Knitting >>> Crochet ANY DAY.

Calling all sports fans

Being that Mikey is a huge baseball fan, I started knitting all kinds of wristbands for baseball.... Derived from the SnB pattern, but I used heavy duty nickel snaps instead of stitching them closed.

Here's Mikey's LA one:


I made a BoSox for Mike:


And an Oakland A's one for me:


of the non Sports related variety, here's a skull one I made for Xtie a while ago. I knitted a button hole (it was my first time!) and sewed on a pink button as the closure to the cuff:

First post about my crafties...

I made these for Xtie. I can't wait for her to move here, so we can start with xtieXOXOxtal. These are real cute in person- the photo looks kinda wonky.
