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!

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!!
