Knitted Bunnies!

My Little Rabbit <3

Isn't it just so freaking adorable? I absolutely love it to death and it even comes with some clothes! So as promised here's the pattern for it. I'm not sure whose patter it was originally (and I'm really sorry that I cant give credit where credit is due!) but I found this pattern on Pinterest, I clicked on the picture of the little teddy bear (yes there is a bear as well!) and it downloaded a .pdf file to my phone.... So I'm going to write it down for everyone (exactly as stated in the pattern I downloaded) And if you stumble across it somehow and it's your pattern please let me know!!

The instructions for the clothing will come a little bit later =) but for now enjoy making some awesome bears and bunnies!

All good things must come to an end....

Relax, I don't mean my blog!

Unfortunately my laptop has chosen this week to die... *Insert a bunch of crying here*

I have this kind of mood right now...

I love that laptop, not because it was the best thing ever, but because my Lewy bought it for me... It had all my wedding planning stuff on there, all my harry potter planning on there, all my music and my books for my kindle... a whole bunch of movies I hadnt had a chance to move to my portable hard drive yet, and the worst thing of all:

All the pictures of our house from the day we moved in until now.... I'm utterly devastated! Lewy said he thinks it may just be the motherboard that has messed up, it wasn't a very expensive laptop after all, and the thinks we may be able to salvage some of the stuff off the hard drive.... but at the moment Dr. Dad is having a look at it to see if he can fix it up for me.

Mr. & Mrs. Bears

Mrs. Bear with her tiara and veil

On a different note:
My Mr. & Mrs. bears are almost 100% finished!!!!! Mr. Bear is sporting a light blue knitted tie, a felt top hat and moustashe, and will soon be sporting "the old ball -n- chain" bit on one of his legs (providing it looks good) Mrs. Bear is sporting a white knitted veil, complete with a little jeweled tiara, fabric paint red lips, and a small bouquet of silver roses. All

they need now is their eyes and they will all be done!

I am still hoping to get up a pattern for my Mousy Beanie that I put up a while ago, but the pattern was on my laptop and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was exactly... So for now I beg you all to bear with me (no pun intended) while we work to salvage what we can off my poor departed laptop....

Now many of you have seen people writing about or heard them talking about something called a Bucket List.... I'll be a sheep and say I have one too, mine might be a little bit short, but after all it is only supposed to be things that are really important to you:

My Bucket List:
1. Learn to play the violin
2. Have a well trained dog, one that actually listens to me
3. Go on an exotic cruise somewhere like the Pacific Islands or Alaska
4. Marry the Man of my Dreams
5. Have a baby
6. Sometime before I die I want to hold a baby sloth and a baby chimpanzee
8. Own our own house
9. Get a job I actually love doing
10. Do a world traveling Holiday
11. Visit Japan
12. Learn to speak a different language fluently

As you can see I have already marked off two of the things on my bucket list! I think I am doing well for some one who is only 25... We are currently training Sade to shake her paw, she can already sit and stay, so we are on our way to marking that one off. Lewy has been trying to teach me Italian for the past 8 years... and I am getting it slowly... some of my words dont sound right because I am unable to roll my "R's", and today my mom sent me an early birthday present.... A BLUE VIOLIN!!!

I love it already!!! It's all set up and now the only thing I need to get for it is one of those electric tuners so I know if I'm playing the right note XD

She also got me three books on how to play it and I have endless amounts of youtube videos to watch on the matter but hopefully within the next year I can mark yet another thing off my list!

Now I am off for a while, hopefully will be able to update some of these patterns soon, wish me luck for getting stuff off my hard drive!!!

XxXx,

Well then.....

So I've been a busy little bee lately!
Finished both my commissions ^_^ and now I'm a happy little girlie! Now until I get another one to do I'm making two of my very own little teds for my self (or future kids).

The blue and white stripey one is made with yarn that has no harsh dyes or chemicals in the yarn, and I have personally tried to rip him apart to make sure that no part of him could come lose by pulling (he's intended to go to a very special little boy soon!),and the face has been painted on as has the anchor on his chest, using nontoxic fabric paint so there is no risk of any buttons falling off and making their way into little tiny tummies.
Th black one has been made the same way and that one is going to my mom!

On a different note I have been awake since 5:30am ish today.... Lewy woke me up before he went to work, and I was bored out of my little mind waiting for the stores to open so I could go and do some shopping. I still got there early lolz and had to wait for almost half an hour for Aldi to open. Last night I had decided to make terriyaki chicken for dinner tonight, and I had to go out and get some white wine for the sauce... let me tell you, in my area NOTHING makes you feel more like a boozehound than waiting outside a liquor store for it to open at 9:30am. And because I'm all of 2 feet tall with a handbag thats almost as big as me, walking around said liquor store all wobbly while trying to knock things over with said huge bag does not help the drunk and disorderly stereotype..... Ah the joys of living here!
On the bright side I have gone out and done all my shopping, donated some clothes to a local charity shop, and made it home before 10:30am! Clever me!!!

Now for the rest of the week I plan on doing my housework and spending the rest of the days in bed watching movies while I knit my little heart out.... that is until Sunday when I have a bridesmaid dress fitting for my friend Rhiannon's wedding!!! It's less than a year away I'm so excited for them!! I'm looking forward to showing pictures of my own teds when they are done!

CTHULHU!!!!!

So it's finally here! I have decided to let it go for free!!!

Now you can find this pattern with a link to this blog in my Ravelry Shop, or on my Deviant Art Page.

And as promised the instructions to make this beautiful piece of work:

Cthulhu Ski Mask
Single needles (beginner’s ski mask)
Ski Mask:
Start with size 3 ¼ mm needles, cast on 180 stitches, stocking stitch four rows.
Switch to size 5mm needles and continue to work in stocking stitch until piece measures four to five inches long.
Switch to size 9 needles, continue to work in stocking stitch until piece measures approximately 11 inches long.
Switch back to size 5mm needles, stocking stitch two rows. Cast off 15 stitches from beginning of a wrong side row and knit to end. Turn work and cast off 15 stitches purlwise, purl to end.
Continue working in stitch for approximately 3 inches. Cast on 10 stitches at the beginning of a wrong side row, knit to end. Turn work and cast on 10 stitches purlwise and purl to end of row. (This will be the opening for the eyes in the ski mask)
Stocking stitch two rows, and then switch back to size 9mm needles. Work in stocking stitch decreasing on wrong side rows only, decrease evenly across the rows until only ten stitches remain.
Switch back to size 5mm needles and stocking stitch two rows, thread a yarn needle and pull remaining yarn through stitches on needle and pull tight. Use the yarn on the needle to stich closed from the top to the eye opening, and from the bottom of the eye opening to the end of the work.
Bridge cover (between the eyes)
Using size 5mm needles cast on 8 stitches, decreasing two stitches at a time stocking stitch until only four stitches remain, stocking stitch 3 rows, increasing 2 stitches per row stocking stitch until you have 8 stitches and cast off. This will be going in the middle of the eye opening.
Eyebrow Piece:
These are optional, you don’t have to make them if you are afraid they will obstruct your vision, or they will make the mask too uncomfortable.
Using size 5mm needles, cast on 20 stitches. Stocking stitch several rows, increasing stitches evenly across wrong side rows, increase to 40 stitches. Decrease to 10 stitches evenly across wrong side rows. Stocking stitch several rows, increase evenly to 40 stitches across wrong side rows, decrease to 20 stitches evenly across wrong side rows, stocking stitch several rows, cast off.
Fold piece in half and stitch closed all the way around. We are going to sew this over the eye opening for the eyebrows.
Tentacles!
So we will start off with some small tentacles. I used 3 ¼mm needles, casting on 10 stitches. Knit one stitch and increase 1 stitch to the end, purl one row, Knit 1 stitch and increase 1 stitch to end, purl one row, cast off. This will give you a very curly tentacle.
Repeat the same steps by casting on 20 and 30 stitches, this will give you longer versions of the tentacles.
Switch to size 5mm needles, and continue to make tentacles by casting on 10,20,30 stitches and following the same steps.
You can stop at any point when making the tentacles, because each mask will be individual, just keep increasing the size of the needles and continue to cast on 10,20,30 stitches until you have a mask which suits your tastes!
