I hope this is the right place to show off the doggysuit I knitted for my dog a while ago.


I've never knitted a sweater (or anything larger than socks for that matter) for a human being, but I could make one of these doggysuits in my sleep :')

That is adorable!! Now I kinda wonder about a cabled SSSS logo or Hannu's sign.

That's something I've been thinking about, too. I'd really like to make something with the SSSS logo but I'm bad at stranded knitting.

This is super cute and the cable knit looks wonderful! Humans sweaters are knit pretty much the same way, you just position the sleeves on the sides.

Well, there's of course the alternative of going down the mixed materials route and adding a bunch of rib-legs.

Nietos - cute! Both the dog and the dogsuit

So I just wanted to pop in and say I've graduated from the Garter stitch,and the stockinette stitch, to basket weave. Current project; baby blanket.

/slides in here/ oooh, knitting thread excellent. I have yet to do anything but knit scarves, but I have by this point in time knitted three full Fourth Doctor scarves (one of them was actually the right colors and to the proper pattern, too!) and I think that's pretty good myself.

I've also knitted other very long scarves just because I could or I found the patterns particularly soothing.

\0/ I am so loosing my cool with excitement at this thread because everyone is so darn talented!!
It definitely makes me want to design some cool crochet/knitting thing to join the craft party!

Semi-related, since in reading through this thread I saw some mentions of beginner weaving, does anyone have good basic resources that they could share with me? I've been very interested for a while, but haven't made any concrete steps towards any specific direction because a) money is tight and b) I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to weaving.

I commend you for having done that. I'm 3/4 of the way done with a mini Fourth scarf (season 12) and I long for it to be done. (Mini as in it is knit in fingering weight instead of worsted/aran and I adjusted the stitches from being 60 st wide to 40 st.)

For weaving, I can look around. One of the more affordable ways of getting into weaving are inkle looms or rigid heddle looms. Those might be some places to start.

There are some good patterns for Finnish tablet weaving out on the internet. Google shelaghlewins.com for her article 'Tablet Weaving for Dark Age Re-enactors'. Sorry, I can't do links. Also look up 'Applesies and Fox Noses Finnish Tabletwoven Bands' by Maikki Karisto and Mervi Paoanen. And 'Tablet Weaving: Bear Tooth Braid from Kaarina burial site' which is on pinterest. There are lots of others.

I passed some of this on to a local weaver, one of the guys who runs our Mediaeval Fair, and he has been making them on a little simple loom he built, and they are beautiful.

Wow, everything made here is wonderful! I feel so inspired to go take out my crochet/knitting supplies and make something SSSS related.
It would be a great way to spend my extra time and use up the... interesting yarn bits I have laying around.

Yup, it's a great way to spend an extra free time
And we need to stir up this therad and everyone's yarncrafter spirit!

I've just checked; yarnEmil, my first ever amigurumi was born a year ago (well, the anniversary was yesterday actually). I planned to make a tutorial available on ravelry for this occasion, but forgot , ups... I will upload it soon.

[Buteo]

Helia, I will await your amigurumi tutorial! I'd love to be able to make yarnEmil and yarnLalli - I've admired yours since they first appeared.

Okay, before I find out how to add a pattern to ravelry, I can send you (and anyone who'd like to try it) the tutorial. Since I always make little changes on a whim when crocheting and this is my first tutorial it probably contains some mistakes. So I'd really appreciate all kinds of feedbacks and suggestions.
