....time to make somebody a new skirt...
>.>

socks. i'm actually wearing them right now.

I'm super jealous of you for having that yarn. XD
Those turned out really lovely.

...should paint my nails in Ravenclaw colors since that's the only thing I currently have a passable bronze in.

the yarn was a total random find, tbh! it's actually called "Ravenclue" because Ravenclaw/Harry Potter is kinda copywrited.... XD

Those pesky copyrights anyway.
Ah, but that reminds me, I want to track down an old (maybe from the 70's to 80's) version of Clue so I can match yarns to the pieces for a Clue scarf!

Would prefer to have the pieces to match, but will settle for photos if I have to, though the colors with those are less reliable than having them in person.

i know, right?

oooh, that sounds really cool!

Was just gonna use the classic colors and do a fancy lace pattern, but just had the brilliant idea to do the classic colors but in the stitches make the classic murder weapons as patterns in the scarf.
8D

oh that sounds awesome! i like the weapons as patterns in the scarf!

Figuring out the stitch patterns will be a bit tricky for me, but it'll be pretty cool.

yeah, there's always that part, isn't there?

It's one of the reasons I generally shy away from making patterns...
But I have a lot of kind of mediocre yarns I can use to test the patterns.

fair enough.

i've made designs in the fabric using filet crochet - like the center of my Geeky Heirloom blanket i'm working on. not really a blanket. more like one of those lacey bedspread kinda things...

Eeeee....I love the firefly reference one! XD
You are way too talented and it makes me feel kinda bad that I'm such a slow crafter...but I try to battle the feelings of inferiority because our crafts are different and you've probably been crocheting longer than I have been looming so have more experience with how to make and modify patterns.

But I'm gonna be brave and try to make new things this year. Maybe no real new patterns, but we'll see...

On a different note, gonna try to finish a shawl tonight and, if I have time, work on/make Derpy's new skirt. Though I did goof on cutting the fabric, so there will be a bit more sewing involved than normal this time, which is kind of annoying, but also could make the whole thing easier if I decide to try something different with it... XP

*Absently going through a box of crochet cotton for a project*

aww, thanks!

don't worry how long it takes you to make something....it's yarn, not a race... :)
