My Mom Is Not Much Of A Photographer

What makes me say that? I asked her to take a picture of the Gwen Slouch I knitted a few days ago with me wearing it, and this is what I get:

Maybe I should have been clearer and say that I wanted as much of the hat to be visible as possibile. But my mom says she just used her "artistic freedom". Oh mom <3

Now I'm knitting Razor Cami in yellow Novita Butterfly. I casted on fort it on the 18th and I'm more half way through it now. The lace pattern is a bit boring to knit, it does look nice though. I've had that yarn forever and I have no idea why I bought 5 skeins of it in the first place. I don't even like yellow!! I'm going to dye the cami when it's done. Wonder if if would have been better to dye the yarn before knitting? Oh well..

It's about time to get something finished again. I did a little embroidery piece based on Mitch O’Connell's illustration. When I bought his book of tattoo designs I felt they'd be perfect as embroidery pieces. I sent him an email where I asked if it would be ok to use the images as embroidery patterns for personal use, and he told me to go crazy! So I did. And I plan on doing more too.

Crafted Gifties

I made this a while ago for a friend of mine. He wanted a crocheted cell cozy with a diamond embroidered on it. Sounds simpe right?

Wrong! I tried, tried and tried to embroider that f***ing diamond on it, but it just didn't work. So finally after a lot of trial and error I sewed on crocheted chains in shape of a diamond. Kinda worked. In the picture my phone is in the cozy, and mine is a bit bigger than his, so the cozy is a little too stretched.

The same guy had a birthday. Well actually his birthday is on monday, but we celebrated last night. I made him a simple black tote bag with the heart&dagger embroidery on it. The heart&dagger embroidery is from sublime stitching stitch-it kit. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the whole tote bag, I totally forgot to take it.

The birthday-boy loved the gift, and the party was fun. Today I've been recovering from it by watching dumb TV-shows and eating greasy foods. Mmmm..sundays.
