Crafty Goodness!

I can't remember what I've posted, so please bear with me if I repeat...



Monty Python cross-stitch hoop. 4". Made-up pattern from a hasty sketch. Was going to be part of a Craftster Swap, but it took longer than I thought. I still have to finish off the back, but that can wait.




Sharktopus! He has tentacles and several rows of teeth, you know... He was for an Ami swap, and is just Ver 1 of the pattern. I'd like to improve on it.



Dress Needlebook, from the Coupling Episode where Jane goes to the party naked under her coat and ends up with the doll's dress. Made for a Craftster Swap.



Red Dwarf shirt - made for a Craftster Swap.



Ministry of Silly walks shirt - made for a Craftster Swap.



Bert the super-sized Blood Drop - shown with Bob, the blood-drop squeezy.



Knit Octopus, made for a Craftster Swap. More realistic, and the pattern was a fiddly pain in the ... tentacle.

Those of you I still owe crafts, I have not forgotten, I promise. I just have crafting ADD, so larger projects take a long time. Also, my sewing machine is acting up, and I've been too frustrated to deal with it. But I will get to them, I swear.

Very cool stuff! That is a seriously awesome-looking octopus.

The pattern in from the book Amigurumi Knits, which has fabulous creations that are annoyingly fussy to make. :/ I like patterns that don't have a lot of sewing together at the end (though I don't know of any octopus pattern that doesn't have some).

That octopus is AMAZING.

I still like the more cartoony ones more, but that's just me... I started making it in obnoxious pink and purple (just two tentacles) before I re-read the person's preferences and saw they didn't want 'girly' colors. Maybe someday I'll finish that one. Maybe.
