Uncharted

The Swiftie socks are done, and I have traded them for some far less complicated, uncharted knitting!

These lines are not blurred, and my charts are all finished. Yay!

Hmmm, our coffee table used to be empty...but somewhere between the crocheted pony-bead lizard and super capes, I seem to have lost control. Even the pig looks a little judge-y in that last shot! But, after all that charting (starting with pen and graph paper, ending in computer spreadsheets and docs with all the words) I am glad to be moving ahead to simple stripes and squish in my knitting. 

The pattern is not "out there" yet, but I hope to get everything uploaded this week. It will look a little like this when it is available...watch Ravelry if you're interested. 

And if you're not interested...here's a fun, new book I bought this week! 

A children's book by knitting designer Anna Hrachovec, this one is every bit as fun as the cover suggests! Even if you don't knit, the photography and text are super fun, and most everyone knows at least one kid who likes fun. Right? (You can find it HERE, and also on Amazon...)

There, I've finished socks, bought books and started stripes. Drop me a comment and let me know what you're up to this weekend!

Oh! And New Glasses! Yay!

June Is Soon!

When you start saying "June is soon!" in early July, everyone knows that you had a super-great time at the Zombie Knitpocolypse 2021! Which I most certainly did, and now June is HERE, and so is that super fun, ZK retreat! I'll be leaving this week for road-trippin'

yarn-buyin'

prize-winning

5K-running (errr, walking for me!)

Pannekoeken-eatin'

friends-laughin' 

GOOD TIME! 

(Side-bar: I'm sad to report that one thing missing from this trip will be my "Twin," Pat! I'm gonna miss you like crazy, Girlfriend, but I'll try to post some fun so you can join in virtually, along the way.)

Before I go, I have more minis to work on, as Pretty does. There are more mini cuppy-cakes,

mini people,

and mini minis, in the form of shrinky dinks, just for fun!

I'll try to keep you updated, and hopefully there will be a fun post from the road next week. Until then, ZK here I come! I can't wait to see all those fun faces in person again, and to find out what I really NEED to knit next! (Translation: Caution! Enabling ahead!) 

I hope you have something super-fun planned for this summer! Drop a comment to let me know what it is, and I'll catch you on the flip side, when it's time to start saying "June is soon!" again!

Lately, It's All Littles

Little kids...

Little adventures in our little neighborhood...

Little [Tiny?] bubbles...lol!

Little knits, little people...same thing?

Little cupcakes...

Wait. What? Can I eat those?

Well, no. They are made of polymer clay.

Bummer...but they're so cute! Look! I added beads and hangers!

Remember when I did polymer clay all the time? Like birds and sheep and seasonal things? So fun!

These photos are from a September
blog post in 2011.

But I haven't even looked at the stuff in the last decade, and I moved it all into the new house last April, so it felt like it was time to see if it was still fun! I only had primary colors, plus black and white (not pictured)...

Can I get cupcake colors with that? 

Apparently yes! (Look at that! Even chocolate!)

And even though there are no perfect cupcakes here, that's what generally happens when I bake treats to eat, so it tracks. These were so fun!

I suppose that I will get back to regulation-size knitting and crafting eventually...someday... But for now, I am having BIG fun, on a tiny, tiny scale! 

I hope your weekend is good, and that you are finding ways to have Big Fun at your house, too!

A Little of This, A Little of That

What has Pretty been up to this week? 

Well, I'll tell ya...it's been a little bit of this, 

and a little bit of that, 

and a little bit of these things too.

Yep. Toilet and Sink (with mat and tiny soap), in miniature knitting. They now live in my powder room, and I may or may not also be knitting a matching Bathtub...

I really don't know what else to say, except that Anna Hrachovec, creator of Mochimochi Land and so many tiny knits, is an absolute genius! 

I have no defense...and I couldn't stop at 1 pig either, there had to be three. They live in my kitchen.

My friends may or may not be staging an intervention, but I am having so much fun! The patterns are on Ravelry, on the Mochimochi website, and there are even a couple of whole books of patterns you can get! 

(Not sponsored, I promise, but I do have three books, 2 in print and one on my Kindle, plus a couple of individual pattern bundles. Slightly obsessed am I! And now I also have many, tiny, knitted things! Lol...)

Of course, this is not a surprise to those of you who know me IRL, and I am sure that I am not finished yet. After all, without the cats, I can leave tiny things everywhere! (I wonder if the Human Beans have ever blogged...?)

So, I suppose that's what I've been up to...at least since the bunnies! What have you been up to? Whatever it is, whether tiny or humongous, I hope that you're finding your fun in it!

(I did knit the tubby!)

Randomly weird? Sounds about right!

Here is just a little bit of random weirdness from my week:

The last, best, most stale Peep of my season.
It has three eyes. Or a really strange mole.
Either way, weird.

The Snorta animals, tucked into the barns.
The three-year-old has put them to bed.
It is 8:45am. Weird, but cute.

Regulation-sized sofa seam.
Four very tiny knitted people, two without hair.
No idea why, but weirdly weird.

And that's about all I've got. Be watching for more adventures from the "Human Beans" that I will surely be knitting in the near future. I know it's weird, but I want a bunch of these things to keep me company! 

How weird has your weekend been? Even if it has been exceedingly weird, I hope that you have found some fun and some down time as you prepare for the week ahead.
