Have you tried finger puppets? Everyone needs finger puppets!

I've started and finished two sweaters already this year, and just finished a third, that's been languishing on needles for three years!

Stripes!

i LOVE these, but i don't think i could make them yet (still having trouble crocheting a straight line)

they have a knit version, too, but i think the crochet version is a lot nicer looking. the purl bee has lots of small, cute projects that might be fun.

Esme, those are great! They'd be such a good housewarming gift!
Kittee, those sweaters are so gorgeous. I love the stripes and the detail on the blue sweater.

Those sweaters are really nice. I especially love the blue one!

for IJDI: I am in love with these scrubbies, for a quick crochet. Mama Kim gets them from her mom and they work so well. They're made out of craft toile!

Whoa! That blue sweater is amazeballs!

Kittee, are those thumb holes on the stripy one?! I must make one like this some time. I love really long sleeves.

ooh, those are great! I would love to give someone cotton washcloths and scrubbies as a gift. perfect!

This weekend I ended up taking my stack of granny squares that I thought I'd never get to and sewing them together and weaving in all the ends. Now I have a mini blanket, but since it came out looking better than expected, I want to actually finish it!

These are awesome! I have a bunch of nylon netting from citrus bags. Do you think that would work if I cut it into strips?

Yes! I put them in the brown sweater, too. They're not part of the pattern, I just added a large one row buttonhole where I wanted the hole on each sleeve.

And yes, I think that meshy stuff would work, if you could get the strands long enough.

is the stuff the scrubbies are made of the same stuff you'd use for tutus and things like that?

Phoenix, I made a white totoro, too from this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library ... -amigurumi
I ran out of yarn for it's bottom, so I made him sitting on a leaf!

Phoenix · **Posted:** Tue Feb 05, 2013 5:47 pm

Whee! ijdi, that's so cute!

I've made 2 tiny white Totoros by now, thinking I might give the second one to a friend... But they look so lovely together on my new bookshelf that I haven't managed to separate them yet. Guess I'll have to make a third one if I want to give one away... ;)

so adorbs, phoenix! i'm giving both of mine away! it's sad, but i know they will be loved.

Phoenix · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2013 3:42 am

I might be able to let go after a while. Sometimes people really need a Totoro. :)

My derby trainer gave me a knitting book with patterns for knitting derby-related stuff, like mitellas and jammer-hats etc.

Are any of you needle artists members of ravelry? I found a vegan knitters group there: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/vegan-kni ... crocheters
It needs to be more active. Maybe if a few of us show up we could get things fired up again?

torque · **Posted:** Fri Feb 15, 2013 3:47 pm

if i recall there is a ppk group there. add me, same name. i don't go there too often but i know there should be at least a dozen ppkers that i know of.
