More Yarn

So I took today off to get a smog check, and decided to go hit The Knitting Room in San Jose - lovey store run by friendly people! I picked up some Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock yarn in colorway "Shadow", another I can't remember the name of at the moment, and some Panda Silk in a nice light brown. The Panda Silk keeps calling to me to pet it, it's so soft.

I'm going to get more done on my sweater before I start with any of these though!

Crafty things

So it's still "feistycrochet.blogspot.com" but I've changed the display to "feistykitty's yarn craft blog" - this is because I'm knitting more than crocheting now! I've made one pair of socks, and am working on my first sweater, and a scarf!

I'm still crocheting too, currently working on a baby blanket - it's a 12-pointed star done mostly black with some white rows to set off the pattern (and give the baby something interesting to look at!)

That's all for now.

The Lion

My niece, Alondra needs some attention too, with all the goings-on with Mateo. She also just broke her arm (hairline fracture, not even a cast, but still broken). Before she broke her arm, I made her a lion. I thought about using one of the lion patterns to make a big lion, but then decided to make a small one, since I'm going to make a doll for her birthday (like Tori's but with Alondra's coloring) - shhh! It's a surprise. So for lack of a pattern, I just winged it and came up with this:



There are more pictures of everything on my flickr account.

I'm now working on a doll for my niece Madison (shh!) and have finished the legs, body and most of the head (I may add more hair, and the mouth needs doing. I hate doing mouths.) No pics of it yet, but soon.

The Bunny

My nephew Mateo has recently been diagnosed with leukemia, so I decided to make him a bunny. Less to make him feel better (he was showered with gifts from everyone) but more to make me feel better. Like I was doing something. (Anyhow, I think he liked the Orca I got him a whole lot more - he named it "Lovey"!)

Anyhow, here's the nice little bunny I made:

Doll for Tori

My niece Tori turned 5 in May. For her birthday I made her a doll, made to look somewhat like her. The pattern is from the Amigurumi Doll Pattern by Soph Viklund. (Beautiful pattern!!)

The real Tori:


And her doll:

Sun Hat

I made a hat to wear on my walks at work. I used the Fast & Easy crocheted summer hat with brim pattern and some Red Heart yarn my friend Karen gave me.

Update? Yes, Update!

It's a slow day at work, so I figure I'll sneak in some updates... I've finished a few projects, so I'll post with pictures here.

Hooray!
