tiny knitting part two

I have to say, I am immensely pleased with the way these toothpick knitting needles turned out! (By the way, I had been intending on finagling some playscale knitting somehow, but this post on Blythe Life was the bizzity best.)

I made three sets because I've had these great wooden beads on hand for years now, and only use them rarely on hats and such. They come in three shades and they are a perfect fit for the toothpicks! Super perfect!! I'm really pleased! I can't wait to make a whole knitting basket...

tiny knitting

It's been a while since I last knitted -- making hexipuffs strained my wrists and exceeded my skill levels, haha. But with the weather being so cold, my 2014 ripple being completed, and no hats immediately on my horizon, I decided to revisit knitting.

I had to re-learn how to knit. I forget how if I don't do it often. And I don't. So I re-learned for at least the fifth time. But I picked it back up again pretty quickly (still have to re-learn how to purl! But I'm sure that will come back to me once I watch a video on it) and once I'd sailed through making a practice dishrag, I scaled down to sock-weight yarn to make some tiny knittings.

A dishrag, you say? How 'bout a dolly-size afghan??

Toothpicks, you say? Future dolly-size knitting needles, I say! They just need a little bit of adjusting...

More soon!

Kickin' off 2015 with a Blythe haul!

Happy New Year, errybody!

I've been trying to keep after the post-Christmas mess that always inevitably appears at this time of year. So much packaging and new stuff!

I filmed a "haul" video for my YouTube channel of the Blythe stuff I've picked up the past couple of months...


One of the things I'm most excited about is the Ikea Huset furniture set! (I got two!! I have plans!)


I'm also pretty pleased about the last thing, which... may or may not be FBL in nature.

Anyway, I don't really make New Year's resolutions, but I absolutely need to do some purging and cleaning this month! I tossed some old holey clothes and worn out shoes, have bags of miscellaneous stuff to give to Goodwill. I have made a to-do list on HabitRPG that consists of the cleaning chores I want done and am trying to do one per day at the very least. (I absolutely don't mind doing laundry, but hate putting clean laundry away so much... what is up with that??)

Out with the old, in with the new! Yes!!
