Just letting you all know that this blog will no longer be updated (and some of you may have noticed some posts were even deleted). Some posts will remain for now, but everything is being moved to http://piperredfern.wordpress.com and all future updates will happen there. Thanks!

WOOT

I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!!!Of course, this means I've been on Ravelry, looking up baby patterns to my heart's content. ;) Though I must admit it's difficult finding gender neutral things for a summer baby... may stick more with home items than anything else.While I'll be doing various things for the baby, I'm not posting them in case my sister should run across them. You can follow my Ravelry

Zombie and OWLs

Alas, my friends, I have been successfully killed in the competition known as Hat Attack. I was taken out by a lovely red (Therapi) and black (mystery yarn, though the hunt is on for the ballband) hat (YAY for red and black!) by SugaryDynamite. Also, it's starting to look like three of the last 13 are flakes/withdrawn for various reasons so, if that is confirmed, that means I made it to the

Hat Attack

YAY! I made it to the last 13!!! XD Dunno how much longer I'll last; I've been told my assassin's weapon has been fired. We shall see, though! XD

Poly Projects

Grr... downside to doing the HPKCHC? Doing multiple projects. I did finish knitting a modified Flowers on a Grave that I've been wanting to do for three years for Charms, I just need to felt it.I've been working on Care of Magical Creatures (blanket for Socrates using linen stitch), but the downside is that I figured out that this is essentially the same stitch for a slip stitch/fake isle kilt

Thppp.....

Well poop. I've just been too busy to be able to sit and really work on M's DNA scarf, and I still need to finish Socrates' sock monkey (since it's straight knitting, I can sit and watch movies while doing it; it takes me longer to do her scarf, and I still have about 3 repeats of the DNA pattern to do. :( So I'm going to have to switch this with what I had planned for her bday: a dolphin

New GIft Idea

2008-11-23T02:26:00.004-06:00

As I said in my last post, I don't have time to make the gift I wanted for mbif. However, simply by chance, I can across a quick project that would be a perfect gift for her! Some Mome Raths from Alice in Wonderland! This is one of her favorite movies, so I'll think she'll enjoy this. I have all the supplies on hand, making a few would be a quick project, plus it's a nice distraction from all

Musings

2008-11-06T15:23:00.008-06:00

First: YAY! I'm in the unofficial last 100 of Hat Attack! *happy dance* I'm still waiting on a WIP from my last target's target, but haven't been able to get ahold of her to see if she's mailed it yet. *gulps* My new assassin had to frog a misfire, but she's very quiet; for all I know, she may have mailed it already, and I've been sitting here for two (almost 3!) weeks waiting on a WIP!

Progress Bars

2008-11-04T14:58:00.007-06:00

I added progress bars for my WIPs. :D Took me awhile to do, as I was following this tutorial and didn't realize there's three or four gadgets labeled "HTML/Javascript". *rolls eyes*So, if you want progress bars and don't want to have to figure out the coding either (one day I might, but I'm lazy right now and don't want to), follow the tutorial and, when clicking on the Gadget, make sure it's

Whew!

Been awhile since I've updated. 'Course, I've been pretty busy lately, even with all the crafty stuff going on.I finished my brother-in-law's Christmas present (a Fuzzy Ferret, made to look like his and my sister's ferret), at least. I finished a Chromosome Cap a few months ago as part of my sister's Christmas present, and need to start the DNA Scarf (making it in the round so it's double sided

Stretchy Bind-offs

I'm just putting these here so I don't have to search for them over and over again (after doing a searh, again, for one last night). Some are just links, as there's no point in me copy-pasting them. :) Hope these help you guys as well!Weebleknits Stretchy Bind OffsSagebrush's review of the BOs listed at the previous linkKnitty - not all are stretchy, but it's still usefulTo to Cuff Finishing
