The Dreaded Percy

2011-01-06T21:14:00.004-05:00

Perhaps you don't hang out in the same shadowy corners of the interwebs that I do. Perhaps you have not yet encountered the phenomenon that is Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom, and it's breakout star, Percy the Persimmon.

If not, you may feel compelled to keep surfing, and I can't say I blame you. This is probably not the pattern for you. Go on your merry way, and we will never speak of this again. However, if you do lurk the same corners of the tubes, or maybe just have a soft spot for obscure D-list 8-bit characters and anthropomorphic vegetable matter, then come on in, the water's fine.

Percy the Persimmon

Materials:
Patons Classic Wool (100% Wool)
[MC] New Denim, 1 skein
[CC1] Aran, 1 skein
[CC2] Currant, 1 skein

US size 3/3.25 mm dpn, set of 5
Polyfil stuffing
Black thread
Green felt
Two 1/4 inch buttons

Gauge: 30 st over 4 inches in stockinette st

Notes: I found it easiest to start stuffing each part as it was completed. The legs were stuffed after the first few rounds of the body were knit, then started stuffing the body when I got to the color change. He should feel firm but kinda squishy, like an overripe fruit (BA-DUM CHING!)

Many thanks to my Festivus giftee, Garrison, for getting the gauge I'd neglected to measure before sending Percy off to him.

Directions:

Leg (Make 2):
In CC2, CO 6 st. Div between 3 needles
*Rounds 1 & 2: K
Round 3: K1, K1F&B across
Rounds 4-9: Repeat from * twice
Round 10: K. Switch to MC.
Rounds 11-31: K
BO

Body:
Pick up st from BO ends of legs as follows:
1st needle: PU 5 sts from ea leg
2nd needle: PU 9 st from 2nd leg after 1st needle
3rd needle: PU last 5 st from 2nd leg after 2nd needle, PU 5 st from 1st leg
4th needle: PU last 9 st from 1st leg after 3rd needle
*Note* All BO sts from both legs should be picked up. The 5 st picked up from the 1st leg on the 3rd needle should be the next sts on that leg after the 5 picked up on the 1st needle. Basically you're making a crotch. Try not to think about that too hard.

*Round 1: K
Round 2: K to last st. M1, K1.
Round 3: 1st needle: K1, M1, k to last st, M1, K1. Rep for 2nd and 3rd needles. 4th needle: K1, M1, k to end.
Rounds 4-9: Repeat from *
Rounds 10-26: K. Switch to CC1
Rounds 27-34: K.
Round 35: K to last 2 sts, SKP
Round 36: 1st needle: K2Tog, K to last 2 sts on needles, SKP. Rep for 2nd and 3rd needles. 4th needle: K2Tog, K to end
Rounds 37 & 38: K
Rounds 39-41: Rep last 3 rounds
Round 42: Rep round 36
Round 44-49: Rep last 2 rounds 3 times
Round 50: K - 21 sts remain on needles. Switch to CC2
Round 51: K
Round 52: K to last st, M1, K1
Round 53: 1st needle: K1, M1, K to last st, M1, K1. Rep for 2nd and 3rd needle. 4th needle: K1, M1, K to end
Rounds 54-55: K1, M1, K to last st, M1, K1 on all needles
Round 56: Rep round 52
Round 57: Rep round 53
Rounds 58-59: Rep last 2 rounds
Rounds 60-63: K
Round 64: K to last 2 sts, SKP
Round 65: 1st needle: K2Tog, K to last 2 sts on needle, SKP. Rep for 2nd and 3rd needle. 4th needle: K2Tog to end
Round 66: K
Round 67-69: Rep last 3 rounds
Rounds 70-79: Rep rounds 64 & 65 5 times.
Cut yarn, leaving about a 4 in tail. Finish stuffing doll. Using tapestry needle, draw tail through live stitches to draw top closed.

Arms:
On one side of doll, about 1 in below neck line and centered between decreases, PU 16 sts in a circle, 4 on each needle.
K 8 rounds in CC1. Switch to CC2. K 7 rounds.
Next round: K2Tog at beginning of each needle.
Repeat last round until 4 sts remain. Cut yarn, and stuff arm. Using tapestry needle, draw tail through live stitches to draw top closed.
Repeat all steps on other side of doll for 2nd arm.

Finishing:
Duplicate st overall straps in MC as pictured.
Using thread, embroider mouth onto face and attach buttons for eyes as pictured.
Cut leaf pattern out of felt. Sew to top of head.

Leaf pattern
Should measure about 2 inches on each side.

Now, marvel in horror at what your hands have made flesh. Or, you know, cuddle him. Whatever floats your boat.

Post-Con costume showing off

2010-09-08T20:07:00.003-04:00

Not a whole lot to this post, just showing off the finished products.

Supergirl:

With George Perez!

Miss Scarlett:

And I didn't manage to get a picture of my Ramona Flowers costume, but here's a picture of a set of random Ramonas, because Ramona was this year's Jack Sparrow/Storm Trooper/Jayne/Captain Hammer, so I think you get the gist:

Hooray! Now to start planning for next year!

Well that's just Super.

2010-08-26T20:19:00.005-04:00

When I started doing con costuming, there was one thing I knew for sure: There was no way in hell I would ever end up doing a Supergirl costume.

At first glance, Supergirl was everything I disliked about Superman. Truth, justice, and the American Way, Mom, apple pie, and boy scouts, and any other opinions bedamned. Then she morphed into a teenage trollop with the unfortunate habit of fighting the Good Guys whenever they suggested she take a little responsibility along with those massive powers, or, alternatively, randomly turning evil with a little provocation.

But in the end, just as All-Star Superman had done for Supes, Wednesday Comics showed me that there could potentially be more to poor, maligned Kara Zor-El than short skirts and a bad party girl attitude. And that something more, specifically? Weapons grade quantities of cute. It certainly wasn't hurt by being written by the current Powergirl team, but as a take on the character I had never seen before, it really changed my mind about her.

This is all a long story to explain why this happened tonight:

This is closer to the DC Animated Universe version, but considering my limited funds this year, it was the easiest way to do it.

Naturally, a Super Pet will be making an appearance:

So that concludes our lesson in "never say never", because there's always some unbearable cute out there to trip you up!

2010-06-29T22:48:00.004-04:00

It's been a minute since I updated, so I guess it's a good thing that I'm working on a new pattern.

It's a hanging fruit basket for the kitchen, and it's almost done. It's a pretty simple pattern, just short rows and yarn overs in kitchen cotton, but I think it looks pretty fabu.

I'm in the process of getting it attached to the hoops at the moment, and then I've got to get the actual chain to hang it from the ceiling with, but it was altogether a super quick project.

I'll post some better pictures once it's finished, which I promise will not be 3 months this time.

A Conundrum...

2010-03-23T20:07:00.003-04:00

At some point, when you're trying to sell your crafty things, you come to a point where you're torn between selling something as you'd originally intended, or keeping it when it turns out much better than you'd thought. Like so:

I'd seen these pieces hanging next to each other in an endcap and thought how nifty they'd look in a necklace. The original intent was just to put it on Etsy, but now I kinda want to keep it all for my greedy little self. It's a lot more striking than I'd thought it would be, and I personally don't have a lot of impact jewelry.

Ultimately, tho, I'd probably never wear it, so as much as it pains me, it'll probably go up for sale. Hopefully, someone will have a better home for it.

2009-12-30T18:12:00.006-05:00

Hey kids! Santa brought me a nifty netbook, so now I'll be able to update every once it a while! Hooray!

To celebrate, I bring you a pattern I made this time last year for Knitty. They didn't want it, but maybe you will!

Thusly, I present the Chubby Checker scarf (link goes to Etsy).

Yes, you have to pay for it (sorry), but it's probably the best pattern I've done yet, and it's pretty kickass-awesome.

That said, toodles until next time (which should be much sooner!)

Huzzah!

2007-08-25T02:58:00.000-04:00

Fin!

All that's left is to sew on the patch. Well, and to get the tie and the socks and the skirt before Friday. But let's not push it.

In any case, I'm pleased with how it came out, even with having to take in the sides. Not particularly in any rush to make another any time soon, but still...

Anyway, this weekend is a costuming cram session, what with DragonCon starting next Friday. So far, I finished the sweater, and the hard stuff (aka sewing) on zombie Ms. Marvel. There's still a lot left to buy, and a lot left to do, but I think I'll be ok. At least, I hope.

A shortcut to radishes.

2007-08-06T22:22:00.001-04:00

I was struck with inspiration this afternoon. You see, I've been struggling with how to make the radish earrings required for any good Luna Lovegood costume. I could've sculpted them out of clay, but that's not exactly one of my strong suits, my search for charms that look like radishes had been fruitless, and any handmade earrings for sale on Ebay were running upwards of $20. I'm already going to have to spend a pretty penny on a skirt and tie, so 20-30 dollars on a pair of earrings I'm going to wear once a year isn't really an option.

Then, while in Joann's, I stumbled upon a set of spherical red buttons, and thought to myself that they could easily pass for a radish. I found some leaf shaped beads (in the process, I also found better red beads for my purposes), and it was as simple as that:

Close-up!

All you really need is two big red beads (1/2"-3/4"), four leaf beads (I used two each of different sizes), two eyepins (you could totally use headpins if you wanted, I had eyepins on hand, and I think it makes the bottom look more like the squiggly radish tail), and french hooks or whatever post you prefer. Put the red bead on the pin, followed by the leaves, make eyes, and attach to the hook.

I'm really pleased with these. Now I just need to get hooks, and then work on the Butterbeer necklace - I picked up corks for that today. They're soaking, and should be ready for stringing up later this week.

Huzzah!

Trinity scarf pattern, at long last!

2007-07-18T20:02:00.001-04:00

I knit this scarf YEARS ago, sold it in a yard sale, and had all but forgotten it until I stumbled across the book I had originally found the stitch pattern in. So here we go!

Trinity Scarf

Materials:
Red Heart Soft (100% acrylic)
[MC] White, 2 skeins
Red Heart Super Saver (100% acrylic)
[CC] Monet, 1 skein or less

US size 7/4.5mm needles

Crochet hook

Gauge:
1 bobble = approx. 1 inch in Trinity stitch

Trinity stitch pattern:
Row 1 (and all odd rows): P
Row 2: (K,P,K) all in next st, P3 tog. Repeat across.
Row 4: P3 tog, (K,P,K) all in next st. Repeat across.
(Stitch pattern from Beginner's Guide Knit Stitches & Easy Projects by Leisure Arts Little Books.)

Directions:
In MC, CO 36 sts.
Work Trinity stitch pattern for 248 rows. BO.
Using CC and starting at CO corner, run yarn through eyelets along a diagonal (see photo above), turning to run at a 90 degree angle on ends. Repeat for next two eyelets on CO edge.
Add fringe to CO and BO edges.

Congrats, you has a scarf!

2007-07-07T12:22:00.000-04:00

Sox are done!

Hooray! I want to knit, like, ten more pairs!

Publish or perish!

2007-07-02T17:54:00.003-04:00

There was a request on Ravelry for a pattern to the Pacman scarf I came up with in 2005. The primary reason I hadn't put it up yet was because I didn't have a decent graphic of the color charts, so I finally got off my duff and made some:

Link to the ~~Past~~ full size.

Ok, here goes. This is my first time writing a pattern, so be gentle.

Pacman scarf

Materials:
Red Heart Soft (100% acrylic)
[MC] Black, 2 skeins
[CC1] Yellow, 1 skein
[CC2] Red, blue, pink, or orange (or whatever color you want your ghostie to be), 1 skein
[CC3] White, 1 skein or less

One 12" circular needle in size to fit gauge

Crochet hook for fringe

Gauge:
18 sts / 26 rows over 4 inches

Pattern Notes:
I knit this in the round using Fair Isle. It can very easily be translated to flat knitting with intarsia. It can also be knitted with the Pacman motif on both sides by placing a marker at 25 stitches and repeating the directions from the marker as if from the beginning of the round.

Directions:
Using MC, cast on 50 sts. Join round, being careful not to twist sts. K ten rounds.

Round 11-27: K 4 sts in MC. Begin Pacman chart using Fair Isle technique and CC1.

Round 28-35: K all sts in MC.

Round 36-39: K 10 sts in MC. Begin pellet chart using CC1.

Repeat rounds 28-39 twenty-nine times, or until scarf is about 4.5 inches shorter than desired length.

K eight rounds in MC.

K five sts in MC. Begin ghost chart using CC2 and switching to CC3 or MC when necessary.

K ten rounds in MC. BO.

Using crochet hook, hook fringe through open ends of scarf to close.

And that's more or less it. Your neck is now 8-bits warmer.

EDIT: Ms. Pacman chart now available! Please note that this chart is 19 rows long instead of 17, and adjust pattern accordingly.

2007-07-01T11:42:00.001-04:00

I fell in love last night. With a ball of yarn. I mean, would you look at this? The colors, Duke, the colors! Zomg!

So yes, sox are in order, at least until I can find another ball of one of the yarns I'm using in Pinwheel. Hobby Lobby clearanced it, and now it is hiding from me.

"Have you seen the Crumple-Horned Snorkack?"

2007-06-14T19:53:00.000-04:00

My wand came in! But I lost it already. Now where did I put it...

Seriously, tho, I am enamored of this wand. I would definitely suggest this source for all your magic wand needs. Although I can already tell I'm going to have to practice with it before DragonCon - it's hard enough just to hold it for extended periods of time, let alone wave it around convincingly as if you're doing a spell, or stick it behind your ear for safe-keeping...

2007-06-12T21:04:00.000-04:00

New project! The Pi blanket went the way of the mastodon, making way for the shiny new Pinwheel blanket:

Ok, it's small yet, and my Denise cords are all over the place, so I can't really transfer it to something bigger at the moment to get a spread out picture, but you get the gist. I'm actually really excited about this project, I don't know why.

Also, here's a picture of my Ravenclaw scarf:

I've had to rip it back twice now, which is entirely too much for such a simple pattern. So here's hoping this time is the last time.

Loads of updates!

2007-06-10T00:09:00.000-04:00

One project down! The Who blanket was finished in a fervent weaving-in session last night, and delivered to it's intended recipient: the impending Melspawn.

And much squeeing was had by all.

In goodies expansion news, several Hancock Fabrics are going out of business around town, which, with everything at 90% off, is good news for me:

This is not including the $80 worth of DPNs and size 17 and up straight needles that a friend picked up for me the other night. That's six yards of gorgeous red jacquard and half a yard of fish-scale sequin net, none of which I have a clue what to do with (tho I'm leaning towards a bodice for the jacquard). So I have no need to buy needles for a long, long time.

I got an invite to Ravelry the other day, which is fantastic. I'm already addicted. I think my favorite thing is the ability to queue - saving a to-do list of patterns. For example, this, which I think the Pi blanket may end up getting cannibalized for.

So that's it for now. I have yet another(!) Doctor Who project coming up, now that DragonCon is clearly on the way. Thank God it's not another scarf!

New craft ring

2007-06-07T19:08:00.000-04:00

Joined my friend Jen's crafters ring, for real people who can't make crafting their full time job. So plz to check it out. I promise I'll post some real actual knitting content soon.

Would you like some pi?

2007-04-21T15:11:00.000-04:00

Well, the swatch blanket is on hold for now, because I've come up with a new project:

"But what is it?", you ask. A beret for Joseph Merrick? Girly dice bag from hell? A yarn pie?

You would be close with the last - it's the start of a blanket pattern I came up with based off of Elizabeth Zimmerman's Pi Shawl. I like the idea of knitting round things. And a round blanket would look very neat on a bed. Alas, I dove right into this one without thinking about color schemes, so it doesn't match my room. I'll probably have to do another one later that goes.

I'm knitting it out of kitchen cotton - maybe not the best choice, texture wise, but I'm planning to sew in a fleecy backing, and kitchen cotton always has the best colorways. I'm using coordinating variegated balls, so there will be stripes as it goes out towards the edge. Not really sure of the circumference right now - it's on 16" circs, but it's obviously outgrown them. I probably won't move up a length until the next increase round, however. For right now, tho, it doubles as a nifty carrying bag for my yarn and doodads!

2007-04-07T09:58:00.000-04:00

Ok, so it's been a while. I'm an idiot and forgot my password, what can I say? So lets forget about that and get on with the WIPs! And they're especially geeky!

Firstly, what with OotP movie and Book 7 coming out this summer, we've got the obligatory Hogwarts sweater:

Closeup of the stripe:

I'm using the pattern from Hobbie's House of Wizard Wear using Cascade 220 - the only yarn I could find with an orange that was "bronzy" enough. So far it's going pretty well. I was stupid and didn't get the hanks wound into balls, tho, so this project won't be leaving the house any time soon. Tsk.

Next up, we've got a blanket based on the infamous Doctor Who scarf:

And of course, the main problem with any Doctor Who project, the ends:

There's a reason I don't plan to sell Who scarves...weaving all that in will be a bitch!

I'm also working on a swatch blanket, but that's in a lot of little pieces right now, so it's not being very photogenic. I'll have pictures once it actually is...

I'm not dead...

2006-05-26T01:31:00.000-04:00

...just in dial-up hell, which makes it really hard to upload pictures to my host.

I've finished a few things, none of which I've gotten pictures of, but I did finish a hat this morning, and got a picture of that, so here you go:

There's a scarf and almost-finished wrist warmer to go with it. Hopefully I've got enough yarn left to finish the other wrist warmer.

2006-03-13T01:18:00.000-05:00

I found a perfect silver fabric for my Serra Angel costume in, of all places, a flea market in Ahoskie for $2 a yard. Dearest baby sister will be picking it up for me sometime next week since, at the time I found it, I was completely unprepared and had no idea how much yardage I needed. Now I've got that and the sword, so I just need to order 5 pounds of feathers...

Made a little progress with Accidentally-On-Purpose - got the front finished, and quite a bit done on the back. I figured it was probably a good point to take a break and start on another Pac-Man scarf, so there you go.

Sorry it's not a more interesting post, but it's too late and I'm too lazy to take any pictures right now...

One-and-a-half Face?

2006-03-03T03:23:00.000-05:00

Remember the post about my Two-Face costume? Well, I got most of it done today.

I really didn't think I'd get as much done as I did today. I figured, at most, I'd get the two dresses cut, perhaps sewn together. I never thought I'd actually get around to shaping. There's not much left now, and most of that involves figuring out the face makeup and gathering accessories, which I've pretty much got figured out in my head already.

Now I'm in the costuming mood, tho, and God only knows what'll come of that...

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room...

2006-02-28T15:05:00.000-05:00

This is a costume idea I'd been kicking around in my head for about a year now, but had never actually made any progress towards. Then, today, the song came on while I was in a "thinking about costumes" mode, and I finally got around to jotting down a sketch.

Not a terribly hard design, but I think it's pretty damn creative, and I always do look cute with critter ears on.

Progress in a few directions...

2006-02-24T22:10:00.000-05:00

Firstly, I finished the Falling Leaves scarf tonight.

Going home for a few days and spending a lot of time in front of the tv helped. Once you get the lace pattern memorized, the rest of the scarf flies by pretty quickly. However, as it's knit in two pieces, I was a little concerned about the grafting at the neck.

As it turns out, it was the easiest part of the scarf. I just transferred both halves to one needle, alternating stitches from each, and then bound it all off, knitting two stitches together at a time. It's probably not the way the pattern called to graft it, but I haven't had to look at the pattern in about a week and a half, so I'm not terribly concerned.

In a more non-knitting direction, I found two dresses to put together for my girly Two-Face costume. It wasn't quite the direction I was originally planning for the costume (half goth-punk/half glam), but I actually kinda like this better. It's a bit closer to the Batman Forever concept, and I really did like that costume. And Tommy Lee Jones is fab, but that is neither here nor there...

The black dress is huge, probably a size 14 or 16, and had already been taken in by a few inches at the bust (which makes me wonder what on earth the person who owned it was shaped like), all of which would be problematic if I were actually planning to wear it. Fortunately, I'm just planning to hack it up, so the extra fabric makes things a bit easier.

Granted, a lot of the costume is gonna be in the accessories and other details, most of which I had planned out by the time I got to the checkout at Goodwill. Time will tell, tho.

The last thing, I picked up a sweater that I'm gonna recycle. For real this time. This sweater is about two sizes to big for me to ever actually wear, instantly stamping out any feelings of guilt at wasting a perfectly good sweater.

Which is a shame, because I actually really like the sweater, and would probably wear the hell out of it if it fit. It's 52% wool, 48% acrylic, and not quite as bright as the pictures, but still peppy. I'll probably get around to destroying it sometime next week - pictures forthcoming.

The hoodie what never ends

2006-02-18T01:48:00.000-05:00

So I've been working on this hoodie from the Spring/Summer 04 issue of VK since...oh...November of 2004. Early this fall, not long after what ended up basically being a summer-long break from knitting, I finally finished all the pieces of the hoodie.

Let's have a look at it, shall we?

First of all, I just want to say that I love the colorway. The pattern was intended for Koigu, but in my usual, anti-yarn snob fashion, I did it in just a Red Heart Super Saver. However, the color, Monet, is quite possibly the best thing ever created in the history of making yarn. It's been discussed in Knitting, even, and that's a pretty yarn-snobby place.

Plus, it was a pretty simple pattern. Knit a back, knit one side the same length as the back, knit another side just like it, some easy sleeves, and finally a ridiculously easy hood. A monkey could do it.

So why, after almost a year and a half, don't I have a pretty, watercolory flavored hoodie to wear around this spring?

Well, depending on who you ask, it's because seaming/counting is hard. Also, finishing sucks, no matter how you look at it. I finished the hood. I finished one side seam. But somewhere, along that second seam, I messed up, and ended up with about two inches difference in the armpit.

How did I do it? I have no idea. I measured all the pieces together beforehand, several times. Both against each other, and with a measuring tape. Why haven't I gone back and tried to fix it? I don't know. Frustration, laziness, disenchantment with what was otherwise a ridiculously simple pattern, maybe all of the above. Will I eventually get around to fixing it? Yes, undoubtedly, but most likely not before at least one, if not both, of my other current projects are finished. I'm just that annoyed with it.

Anyway, I think that brings us up to speed with what I'm working on. Yay.

2006-02-15T22:35:00.000-05:00

I've been working on two main projects lately: The Falling leaves scarf from Vogue knitting Spring/Summer 05, and the Accidentally-On-Purpose vest from Stitch N Bitch Nation.

I'm working the scarf out of Lion Brand Wool Ease in cranberry. It's the first yarn I ever bought, and I've tried to work it into a few different scarves since then. The first scarf was a lesson in overzealousness - it ended up a foot and a half by nine foot garter stitch monstrosity that was so heavy, it choked me whenever I tried to wear it. Hence the redo.

It's also the first lacework I've ever done successfully, and I think it's turning out pretty well...

(click image for a very large and very overexposed pattern detail)

It's about a foot and a half long right now - not bad for about a weeks-worth of bus rides to work and a few episodes of Gilmore Girls.

The vest is coming a little slower, mostly because it's stockinette - massively boring compared to lacy leaves.

I'm working this in Patons Brilliant, which is a really fun yarn, and surprisingly soft considering it's full of sparkly plastic bits. I'm almost at the point now where I start dropping stitches, so that's a little more exciting. And then...I get to do another 23 inches of stockinette for the back. Joy of joys.

Maybe tomorrow if I'm feeling inspired, I'll post about the hoodie that never ends. We'll see...

Well, here goes nothing...
