Direwolf Sigil House Stark Game of Thrones-inspired Fingerless Gloves!

I knit these with a cute little cabled cuff to spruce 'em up. Selling them over on my Etsy shop!

Holiday Season Update!!

Hello! Things have been going really well for me in the geeky knits arena! I've been totally reppin' my gear in style~

Got my personal Super Mario hat, my original LoZ scarf, my Portal earrings and my Mario 3 hoodie! Great day.

Here's what I've been working on!

Fun work with initials! I really enjoyed creating that ampersand.

Gorgeous LoZ scarf, definitely my most popular purchase by far, and in the green base!

A new take on the Sailor Moon scarf!

Modeling the scarf. I'm in love with that pale blue!

I'm also working on a pair of Street Fighter gloves for a friend's boyfriend! Exciting!! So I'll be super busy through the middle to end of January, and then I plan on making some big changes to my Etsy store. It will be AWESOME.

Happy geeking!

Harley Quinn Fingerless Gloves~

"Weee! Look at the pretties~!"

I decided to modify my design for the Harley fingerless gloves I made a year or two ago. I really like how they turned out! I used size 4 DPNs and these fit me perfectly, so for most other people they'd be a bit bigger. I've decided to sell these awesome geeky gloves in my shop!

The red yarn is a true red, not a dark red. This picture pretty closely captures it:

Pretty sweet, eh?

My own Mario hat!!

After making the Mario Transformation hat I got the bug to make my own version! I decided to make it Super Mario World-themed based on the fact that SMW is my jam, and it'd be awesome to speedrun it wearing a hat made just for that purpose. And now I can make versions to sell since it was completely my design! ^_^

My only qualm is that I haven't really made hats for other people so I'm not quite confident in my gauge. I used size 3 needles for the brim of the hat (which I ended up doing in 2x2 seed stitch and turned out looking wavy and interesting. I like it!), and then did the rest in size 5 circular, trying to keep the tension pretty tight.

This is how it turned out! I'd have pics of me wearing it but I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday and my face is really puffy still >_<

Thanks for reading!

Some long overdue scarf update pics

I knit one special scarf a year for a friend before I open the design up to make for others. Last year it was this Sailor Scarf for my amazing friend Courtney:

This year I'm working on a Mega Man scarf... shhhh don't tell!

I did one really cool custom scarf for someone last winter. I really enjoy custom projects; I wish more people would take me up on that!

Mario Transformation Hat wee!

I used this pattern to create the hat.

The first attempt ran quite large - it was even big for my boyfriend, and he has a big head. My knitting gauge is average, sometimes perhaps running on the tight side. Other people who have made this hat have made the same observations. So.

I love it, and have gotten a lot of compliments on it!

I will probably make a variation on the hat so that I can sell it in my etsy shop ^_^

It's a little big for me even now - if I made it again I would size down even more for the ribbing (I ALWAYS forget that I should do that!!). I already have a fantastic idea for a new hat. This one is stretchy and can fit anyone's head. I'll probably make it a gift and make myself a new one!!

Legend of Zelda Scarf

I knit this on size 8 wooden circulars, CO between 60-70 stitches, not 100% sure how many, but Link is almost 30 stitches, so at minimum it's 60. I knit the scarf to about 70", and then duplicate stitched the images on. As seen from the previous post, I very heavily modified a couple charts, and I made up the Navi chart. The triforce is everywhere, so I don't feel I owe any one person credit. This was incredibly fun, and I think it turned out really good. My only real complaint is my own guage issue; otherwise, I love it and plan on wearing it all winter!

ETA January 2014: Here are several more iterations I've done of this scarf - I've improved upon the images and each is unique:

And finally, a custom LoZ from a geekster who purchased the original last year!:
