As promised, a John Barrowman plushie pattern!

He is wearing his Captain Jack Harkness costume, with his big grey coat, blue shirt, suspenders, and grey pants. He also carries his gun (removable) in a holster at his waist, and his vortex manipulator on his wrist.

This little guy was made for a custom order and so I created that pattern as I went along. He is very similar to my David Tennant but has a longer coat and a few more accessories

Hi everyone!

I've been making a few David Tennants recently
(and a Captain Jack - pattern here!) -> Jack coat variation coming soon (the below one is for david only)

While doing this I came across a difficulty when using slightly thicker wool for the coat. I often choose a nice sturdy yarn for the coat as this is the most huggable part, but it does cause issues when the thicker yarn makes the coat wider than the shoulder-to-shoulder width


So if the wool you are using for your overcoat is thicker than your body wool, you may like to use this version of the overcoat body pattern instead (creates a slight ribbing effect):

It's been a really tough month and after all our house issues (leaks and mold etc) we're looking at finding a new place :/

I needed something to cheer myself up and got this 'Knit me somethin'' necklace from the lovely Shirley of wearthou

You can also get this design as a ring or earings!

It arrived in a cute little box and I have been wearing it since ^_^

There is a crochet version too:

At home today celebrating my mum and brother's birthdays - Here are the two crafty gifts I made for my brother this year :)

He likes to spend late nights on the computer so needed some typing gloves to keep his hands warm. Working out how to make 'boy size' gloves was much harder than matching my own hands. Had to keep recruiting boys to try them on as I went. Used up lots more wool than normal too! Used rib as a way to adjust for slightly unknown size and I like how they came out.

And the much bigger project - my Choc-mint Dalek!

This was made with the technique illusion knitting, which allows you to create an image that is only seen from certain angles. This free [2011 update: now £1] pattern was created by Woolly Thoughts and you can find some other illusion patterns there including David Tennant, Mona Lisa and various Harry Potter characters (definitely worth a look!).
(view Dalek pattern on ravelry)
I found the design created a great effect, but required a lot of concentration to follow the chart - which for a person like me who is always jumping on and off trains was difficult and not very enjoyable - but that's from a person whose passion is the making up of new patterns rather than the actual knitting of them.

Another illusion knit I love the idea of is slippedstitch's Wonderland Socks which if I ever decide to knit socks will be the first place I go.

Was also doing some cleaning of my room so that mum can have a bit more space without all my childhood stuff cluttering up my room, and I found my first attempt at knitting from when I was about ten ^_^

What I have been working on:

More David Tennant plushies - brown suit and blue suit, and a couple of presies that I can't reveal just yet

And some lovely work from others:
