Sorry kids!  Easter happened and I got sick and blah!  But I should be back in action if I can find the time!  Life is busy right now.  For now, enjoy this Diesel Sweeties comic.  I AM the guy in this comic (just not a dude).  I have this conversation daily.





Super Knits!

15 04 2009

Who wants to be a super hero?  You do?  Well, then you are going to need a costume.  You should probably knit one….

How awesome is this!  Artist Mark Newport knit these “onesies” and has been displaying them in galleries for a few years now.

On a related note:

SUPER BABY!!!!  onesies rock





Happy Easter!

12 04 2009

Ah Easter!  You’ve finally arrived!!  And this year it doesn’t look like snow!  Huzzah!

Time for some Easter themed knits!

If you’re like me you like your Peeps “aged” (i.e. left open on your counter for a month) delicious….

If you don’t wish to knit toy Peeps maybe you can show your Peep pride on your socks!

If Peeps aren’t your thing maybe you’d prefer a Chocolate bunny!  Hey, at least this one wont melt.

Maybe you are like my husband and you hate to eat eggs, but you still want to have festive eggs to put out, well, knit some up!

Maybe you do like eggs, but you don’t want to deal with the mess of dying them.  They can still be festive with a bunny cozy!

You may need a basket to put all your eggs, Peeps, and chocolate bunnies.  Felt away!

Maybe you’d rather just decorate your kid.  Well now you can with this Easter cocoon and hat (the maker of this pattern is not responsible if your child grows wings and flies away)





Earthquake Knitting

9 04 2009

This 98 year old woman was trapped in her house after the recent earthquake in Italy.  How did she spend her time?  She decided to knit and crochet until she was rescued.  Good form!  I only hope that I have the presence of mind to knit in such a situation. :)





Donkey Kong

3 04 2009

Ah, Donkey Kong, truly a classic.  I watched King of Kong a while back and realized that there are still people obsessed with it.  I didn’t know the obsession went this deep.

This DS sleeve is pretty intense.  Donkey Kong is embroidered on but there is a chart available on the website that you could easily use for knitting.

I love that they even put in the little ladders, and the big stuffed ape at the top really sells it for me.

Ignoring the obvious reason why this shower is crazy cool, is that the sky?  Does this shower have a sky light?  Why doesn’t my shower have a sky light!?  Oh, and Donkey Kong Jr. gets to watch you bathe, that’s kinda, well, creepy actually.

While I think this poser is totally sweet, I am confused by the “For Mother Russia” on the bottom.  Last I checked Mario was Italian.
