I can’t get enough of Portal 2 and Wheatley’s character was perfect thanks to Steven Merchant. This is my prototype for a Wheatley amigirumi! He’s mostly crocheted with knit handles and is about 4″ in diameter.

He’s the only one so far but I plan on making more if anyone is interested. Leave a comment or send a message on my etsy shop if you want one!

I haven’t posted a lot of knitting projects lately because I’ve been wrapped up in using Ravelry, which is like Myspace but way cooler (nerdier) because it’s for knitters. It’s fantastic because I can organize all my past/current projects with details and pictures, plus search for new ideas and patterns. Sadly there isn’t a public link to user profiles yet so I can’t share all of my lovelies with you. That being said here are some highlights of my recent projects:

	This iPod Nano sock I made for Amy has the coolest button ever! It’s so awesome and slightly creepy. I found it in a random bag of buttons that I got from the thrift store years ago.
	Here’s a super cute felted bag I made as a Christmas present for my Aunt.
	Nick’s awesome lightbulb hat!
	And a gorgeous hat, gloves, and scarf set I made for a lady at work!

After some convincing, Wyatt got me to make this Jayne Hat for him to wear at Dragoncon this year. I love making things for him but couldn’t believe he actually wanted this goofy hat. It turned out to be super easy and fun to make so I’m glad I did! For those of you who don’t know what it is, the tough guy character Jayne, in the Firefly series, got this silly hat from his mother one episode.

I used Heather Hill’s pattern as a guide for my first hat. Using her pattern I got to do my first cable cast on as well as learn how to make my first pom pom. Pretty exciting advances in my world of knitting. (; It’s a great pattern but in the end a hat is a hat no matter how you put it together so I created my own version from that point on. My first change was to double up with worsted Lambs Pride because the shop didn’t have the bulky colors I needed, but I ended up loving that brand of yarn and how the two strands look together.

I got the request to make this Slytherin scarf from my friend Byron earlier in July. It was a nice change from only doing Gryffindor ones! I used Caron Simply Soft which has a nice sheen to it.

I had another request by my friend Jason to make a gryffindor scarf for his mom’s b-day. I was on a time crunch and knit like crazy over the weekend… I thought my hand was going to fall off! I just made the finishing touches by ironing it and putting on the tassles.In other news, I think I finally got the crazy spam comment problem under control. Unfortunately it means that you have to get a free account with this typekey thing if you want to leave a comment, but it’s an easy one time deal. Now I just have to start deleting all the thousands of nonsense comments.

My friend Jen ordered this old school gryffindor scarf from me (and was nice enough to take a picture because I forgot). It took a long time but it ended up being really sweet. I love Harry Potter.
