ooooooooooooo

so, one time in a pinch i screened a shirt for the Red Stick Roller Derby and it was brass knuckles. they were knuckles with RSRD written in Old English in the finger holes. ever since then, i've had an affinity for brass knuckles - i have no idea why. so what did i see today? this:



i think this soap is the shit. of course, it makes no sense because after a couple of uses all the thin sections will just fall apart, but i love it regardless. buuuut! you could plop these into a regular rectangular soap mold and pour new soap around it in a contrasting color. then it would be sturdy and set in to something.

i know it's summer, but i'm thinking of knitting for some reason.

i have actually started working on something like this, but i'm using a lion brand peacock blue yarn. this shibori felted scarf is stolen from the craftypeople blog. it's kind of sea-like, kind of polka-dotted, kind of blobby. i dig it and will someday finish the one i started.

this adorable bunny scarf was made by craftster member blackoctopi. i love the color!!!
i want to wear it and pet it.

okay. this one that i actually have made. i made this for my cousin paul for christmas this year. it's made out of two types of japanese noro wool. i absolutely loved making it! i looked online for the yarn, but it was all about $15/skein. i looked up to see if i could find it somewhere local. turns out that 1) baton rouge has a yarn shop 2) i found it there for $9/skein 3) there are way more colors and lots than i originally thought. woot. i started making me one, then stopped, and now it's 80 outside and will be until november. so i'm tooooo pressed for time to make it happen.

okay. these fish hats would take me a bajillion years to complete, buuuuuuuut i want one so bad! this is from thelma egberts over at knitty.com. AND the pattern is free! i'm just not one to work with double pointed needles, not to mention making something other than a scarf. the pattern actually calls for COUNTING! ugh. thelma has picture with her kids (?) wearing this wonderful hats. it's like mr. limpet is trying to eat their heads. here's the link for my future reference:

this is from kayte terry at craftstylish. it's just bits of ticker tape yarn and some water-soluble stabilizer. all that and a whole bunch of patience to sew a grid. i could do that. i think. the patience part, not the sewing. :)

ideas for this one

Over at ornamentea.com they have this TV set bezel and i keep going
back to it wanting to buy a bunch and make something
but i keep chickening out. ugh!!!! i hate it when something unique comes along and i turn
into a crafting wallflower.

ooooooooo

I really really really want to make this necklace!!!
it seems like i could craft it out of black shrinky dinks and then
attach with a total of 4 jump rings.
