Update

A couple of FO's!:


The Dalek for my brother-in-law. He really liked it, and it has already seen lots of action pointing its laser gun a everything.


And the cute little monkey! The hat was way too small, so I didn't take the time to sew it on. I think he looks a little more "Planet of the Apes" than he was supposed to. The zills are great, though.



On the needles now - earmuffs from Katamari Damacy, for ValleyCon. I don't see them getting me free alcohol like my Spaceballs t-shirt, but they'll be cute (I can't find a picture of the t-shirt, but it has Dark Helmet's head and it says "Evil Will Always Triumph Because Good is Dumb"). Plus, ValleyCon is at the end of October this year, so it's a good time of year for earmuffs.


I've also been scouring the web/Barnes and Noble for knee socks and/or thigh highs. I like to wear long jean skirts to work, but my legs get so cold. Already. In August. I can't wait for how cold they're going to be in January! I've found several patterns, but none that really jump out at me. So far the two I like the best are the Quidditch Socks from Charmed Knits and the (men's) Kilt Hose from Folk Socks. I'm going to Salt Lake City this weekend (coincidentally to the yarn shop owned by the author of Folk Socks) and I have high hopes for finding *something.*
