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!

Try Try Try again

There once was a little elephant that lived by the sea...oh wait! That was a magic dragon.
I was out with a friend today and at The Market was saw amigurumi elephants. That reminded me that I wanted to try to make the LionBrand pattern that's online.
I came home and did just that.
It took about 3 hours to make a tiny little guy.
Unfortunately, I have Raynaud's and my hand was hurting. I glued the ears and legs on.



...but than I decided I wanted to make a scarf. I found this amazing pattern and decided to attempt it. Let me tell you, SUPER easy. The bit pictured, I did while watching a movie. Once you get the hang of it in the first 2-3 rows, you don't really have to pay attention. I might even make a few of these as Christmas presents...since my first attempt at glove making was a failure.

The other night, I thought I would try to crochet fingerless gloves. I was half way done and I either got confused, lost in the pattern, and just plain messed up. I was so far in that I just decided to keep going and see what I got -without aid.
What I got was uncomfortable and is sitting in the trash right now.
What I learned was I like mixing my thin colours together, as seen on the scarf.
I will attempt to make gloves again...maybe not this pattern and maybe not fingerless. Mittens?
