Need Moar Scarves



I am about 2 scarves short.
I have also made them all different lengths because in all honesty, I got bored.
They just seemed to be taking forever.
The first pattern crocheted up quick, but then the others dragged on and on.
I do like the pattern, it's quick and easy.
I do like the style, it's unique.
I do think that trying to make a bunch of them, while working for a month straight, killed my creative buzz.

I know I have to make a hat for my brother..so hopefully that works out alright.
I should troll Ravelry right now and find a good, quick crochet pattern.
The downside of it being colder out is my Raynaud's is acting up.
It's not as bad as the pictures in the wiki, but my hands get cold and than hot and than refuse to work. Sometimes they just refuse to work due to pain.
To combat the winter owwies, I bought USB gloves..however, they do not work so well while crocheting.

I know some people will be without a Christmas scarf - a crochted one anyway. I have a tote full of fleece. If you're not disgusted by fleece, you might get a scarf.
Yes, I know a few people who dislike fleece!

Anyway..off to become a RavTroll :D

Wrong kind of "Doctor"


After putting it on the back burner, I finally finished making The Doctor.
Yes, he does not have a red tie -in the show-, but he is a Christmas present and thought he would dress up.
I started him on September 7th, but he was placed up on the shelf without a head, eyes, ears, or anything put together.
I admit to having problems with the legs, arms, and jacket.
The hair, body, head were easy peasy.
I highly reccommend the pattern if you're a Doctor fan.

After completing him, posing him, and playing with him...I want to keep him.
As my boyfriend pointed out, I can always make another...but it wont be the same.
I am going to stick him in a Tardis decorated box and wrap that up for Mr.Zac.
Seeing as Zac now lives in the United Kingdom, and is coming back to town for Christmas, I think it will be quite fitting.
My little mister stands only 6 inches tall, so he shall be a lovely travel companion.

I have started again on my Christmas mesh scarves. I just finished a pink and orange one with fringe. Today, I started a black one, without counting stitches or actually paying any attention to what it looks like. I am hoping it turns out neat looking.
I like the idea of mesh scarves, because they can be used year round. Hopefully they're liked.

I have been working alot, 2 jobs. I am hoping I have time and ambition to finish enough home-made presents.
I've just been feeling "meh".

The opened bottle of nailpolish infront of me is threatening to fall on me if I do not use it.
I should go make my fingernails all purdy...

...for now.

Mesh scarf

Yea, basically every female I know will be getting a scarf for Christmas.
The will either be plain, multi coloured, or have something on them.
I just finished one that I like to call Mermaid colours. It's dark green, red, orange, blues, a little bit of purple.
I am going to add a bright yellow starfish to it.
Simple, handmade, practical, and hopefully appreciated.

I am fully drained from a long day of trying to tackle our public transportation...so I am going to leave you with a picture of the scarf...and a baby in the scarf!
