Snowboard Cowl: Take 3000

I have frogged this more times than I am proud to admit. I couldn't figure out why my stitches were so tight and just not working. It dawned on me that my circular needles may be too long (probably at 29 inches). I switched to dpn's and... so much easier!!!! It's quite possible that I'm not meant to use circulars in my knitting yet.

Homemade Playdough For Monsters

Today is a monster making day. Then some quick yoga (This video... still sore from snowboarding on Saturday.), and then back to the monsters. I'd like to have 3 finished and be calm at the same time. This is a challenge with Dr. Destructo lately.

Snowboarding Without a Scarf

We went snowboarding yesterday. My neck was cold, as the "scarf" I was wearing wasn't really a good cold weather scarf. It is more of a cool weather wrap around your neck fabric. Lesson learned. Thinking back, falling so that the snow was jammed down the back of my jacket probably wasn't helping with the cold part either.

Saturday Caturday

It is finally snowing. Louie (a.k.a Pouise the Puma) doesn't care.

How To Make Crocheted Amigurumi Hair

I've been doing quite a bit of monster hair making lately. It's really something that I enjoy, so I'm sharing my technique.

Jackalackackie Free Hat Pattern For You... Surprise!

Baby, it's cold outside. I made this one for myself. I didn't have one single hat that I could wear out of the house and not sprint for the car due to the ugliness.

What Do I Love?

Giant monster sculpture? Why yes, yes I do.

Adding to the Army

I am finally getting back into a nice groove. It's so nice that I started playing around with designs, monsters and even had an epiphany.

What Do I Love?

I thought I'd share some monster loves off of Flickr. They're all very monstery in their very own way.

Ouchi Gallery Reception

I GOT TO RIDE IN A FREIGHT ELEVATOR! Yes. This country mouse got to check TWO things off of her bucket list. I'm a little sad that I didn't think to take a picture of this event, but it's etched in my brain forever.

The whole show was super fun. I was a little hesitant about going when I found out my sidekick wasn't able to accompany me to the show. Granted, me waiting until the last minute to remind her (because I can't seem to remember what day I'm on) didn't help. Note to self: figure out a way to get babysitting funds for KBG outings. Luckily my mother-in-law was game and off to Brooklyn we went! I almost didn't get lost too.
