"You are all cordially invited to a Bob-B-Q !!
Bob (from Mochimochiland) has decided to celebrate Thanksgiving with a bar-b-q since the weather in Florida is so gorgeous right now.
He will be celebrating with family and friends this year. His two best buds Little Weed and Big Weed will be joining him for this wonderful day!
Bob is planning on serving steak and grilled veggies. There will also be plenty of snacks and drinks to keep everyone happy!
I decided to crochet Bob in an amigurumi style instead of the suggested knit in the round. I made Little Weed following the actual pattern, but converted it to crochet for Big Weed."

Bob-B-Q
thanksgiving socks
This photographer says:
"finished "pillars" socks."
Pretty yarn! Love the variegated gold, and the textured openwork detail up the sides of the socks.
Hand knit lace wall hanging
Note:
"How cute it this? :P I actually designed and knit these last Winter/early Spring (more colors are on the way). I love the colors for Autumn!
Gorgeous colorway from Lisa/Wabi Sabi Yarns (goooorgeous). :)
I cut a little dowel from balsam wood, and hand tied a super skinny organic cotton ribbon to use as the hanger. I love how these turned out."
Pretty!

I love this knitted Halloween kitty!
Love it!

Halloween Special - Little People - Girl
This doll is quite beautiful~
Photo note from Hassenpfeffer:
She knits these insanely intricate coats, skirts, and dresses. Simply for the fact that she knits them, they’re bespoke; however, these outfits are beyond just custom.
It’s because she works entirely free-form. That’s right; she works by feel and not by pattern. Judgment, not a predetermined shape, guides her needles. We always prided ourselves that each one of our little people acquired of a personality of its own, but we now stand in awe; the pieces she creates transform these personalities into real characters. We admit; we’ve been schooled.
In light of the incredible amount of time, effort, and creativity that goes into her knit outfits, only a select few Little People will wear them. And even though they command a premium, we’re still not charging as much as they cost. In other words, she’s doing it for the love.
Sure, they cost a bit more; however, remember this: You get what you pay for. And in this case you get a lot.

The Red Thread Project
red thread project, originally uploaded by Get Stitchy With Sarah.
This is something I just became aware of, and it sounds great. What a wonderful way to "connect" and to do good.
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." -Chinese proverb
"The Red Thread Project® is community art made by the community for the community. Hundreds of youths and adults knit and crochet hats; attach the hats to a ½ mile long knitted red thread; wear the hats in a simple performance / dance; exhibit the hats and, finally, donate the hats to local charities including those assisting cancer patients, foster children, the elderly and the homeless.
The Red Thread Project® celebrates community connections, both visible and invisible, while encouraging and fostering individual creativity. Since its inception in 2004, over 5,000 hats have been donated to charities in Terre Haute, IN, Memphis, TN, Grand Rapids, MI and St. Louis, MO.
For the school year 2010-2011, The Red Thread Project® will be at Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove, IL. Join the fun! Make a hat. Teach another to knit or crochet. Take part in the performance. There are many ways in which you may become involved.

The dress looks shop bought up close so we wanted a photo of simular quality that kept the emphesis on the dress and that also keep in the knitted and stary theme.

Handbags for Charity
Another good one:
MIss Mita tells us:
"I knit & sold these to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society"
Thank you~
Luke, the Leukemia Cell.
This knitter tells us about this photo:
This is Luke. He's a cancerous cell, made especially for my friend Amanda, who came out of remission this year. She was very upbeat, but still wanted something -physical- she could beat the crap out of when she was feeling down. Thus, Luke was born...and I'm happy to say that she's in remission once again!
Cancer R banner
As my dad has leukemia, I'm looking for positive images to keep me moving along. I really like this one. Here is a link to go with the photo:

Kristin's knee socks from Vogue Knitting
Aren't these socks great?
Photo note:
"These knee socks are knit in my Julia yarn in fair isle and then decorated with embroidery. They were featured in the Fall 2006 issue of Vogue Knitting. They are also featured in the book Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Sock Book."
fair isle knit
Isn't this a fun pattern for those musically inclined knitters!
This knitter notes:
"computer generated knit i made for my textiles class"
Fair Isle Gloves
These are so beautiful! I am admittedly not a fair isle knitter, preferring lace and cable work (texture knitting). But, I can always hugely appreciate good fair isle from other knitters.
I did take a workshop about 18 years ago, from Alice Starmore, which was wonderful!
Photographer's note:
"1991 - I made these for my girlfriend's birthday when I was in college, using a pattern from Alice Starmore's Fair Isle Knitting."

Ballet Tee
Photo note:
"Pattern: Ballet Tee from Loop D Loop
Yarn: 2 strands of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in Olivette held together (2 skeins)
Needles: 24" US 15 bamboo circulars
Super quick knit - just how I like 'em. My sister thinks it's a bit short, but I think she's just used to long tunic tees and super low rise jeans right now. :p I am loving this, though I have to wear a tank underneath it or some peek-a-boo happens. I want to make a long sleeve version of it in the fall. The only mod I made was increasing 3 times at the waist instead of the 5 called for in the pattern so it wouldn't get all baggy around my abdomen."

Knit Boucle Scarf
I was captivated by this photo for it's composition and riot of color. Beautiful work~
Cauldron
This is gorgeous on the bobbin!
From the same spinner:
"Polwarth in Cauldron from
Hello Yarn Fiber Club
2 oz spun, 2 more to go for a 2-ply
I did not finish it in time because I decided to make a 25k bike ride instead of sitting at the spinning wheel."
Sounds good to me! One can always come back to the wheel.
Tour de Fleece 2010
These are gorgeous! I have a Lendrum wheel which i love, as it's a double treadle, and it exercises my shins as I spin.
Photographer's note:
"This is my complete output during Tour de Fleece 2010! It was more than ever dreamed of spinning in 3 weeks."

me how to embroider! I knew it was going to find it's way into my artwork,

Hot Cross Bun
This is absolutely adorable~
Photo note:
"I like waking up to emails asking me to design a crochet hot cross bun. Whipped this up in an hour at Knit Club and wowed the ladies in the process. :)
I had forgotten that when I was maybe 5 years old, at Sears, I was mesmerized by a little hot cross bun bracelet. I remember thinking that I'd regret for the rest of my life (ha) if I didn't get it, that this was a HUGE life decision and the hot cross bun bracelet was somehow going to make me happy and make my life complete (ya know, at age 5). Well, I didn't ask for it, and indeed regretted it for many many years...perhaps this can replace the hot cross bun void in my life.
I just recently learned that it's believed a piece of a hot cross bun given to a sick person helps them recover. Maybe deep down that's why I needed that hot cross bun bracelet..."
