I need more yarn...

Toque of 2008/Cupcake toque


This is the toque of 2008. I still need to finish. I started at the bottom working up, doing a cable pattern, then finished the crown, and now I'm going to take off the scrap blue yarn and work down to finish it, and to put on some earflaps using short rows. Though I need more yarn, as I ran out. It's totally an experiment, as I'm not using a pattern.

Fiz, the plushie


This is the back of an unfinished Fiz. I got this far and decided I didn't really like how I was doing the crests (the grey stuff that's still just pinned on). I think I'll just go with what I've done though, because it's obviously hand-made anyway. And I just want it done. But I am in love with Fiz's green tendrils. I stuffed pipe-cleaners into a tube that I sewed. I would have liked to not have the seam on the outside, but I couldn't reverse them, and I don't think it looks bad anyway.

The Journal
I finally finished it! Well, mostly anyway. Just needs some internal embellishment, and then it's good to go.


A view of the book open. Yeah you can see my not-so-good binding job, with the paper tearing. Because I made it too thick, I had to rip out one of the signatures and so the binding's all crap now.


More to the side, closed.


Showing the cover. It was my first attempt at embroidery and beading.
