Kweh?!

Update on the chocobo.... Well. The knitted one. This is what it looks like so far. 

You may notice it looks like a yellow potato with some white tube on it. Looks pretty awful right? Right. Definitely.

So I went back to trying to remember how to crochet before I try another knitted one.
On the plus side I remembered how to crochet. I am still pretty slow, but at least it looks more or less like it should do.

See, looks more or less like a chocobo.

I don't really know what happened this bank holiday weekend. I just seem to have been knitting/crocheting. Like more so than in the last  n  months where n is a reasonably small rational number. 

btw - for the uninitiated, Kweh?! Is the sound a chocobo makes when treasure is near ish. Not near exactly, but somewhere. As opposed to nowhere. You got the idea a while ago. Whatever. Play FFIX. Its awesome.

Piglet

Distraction, thy name is knitting. Actually, thy name is distraction. And if it wasn't then it would be Making-Knitting-Patterns. Which is way too long.

Anyway.
Point is that (despite not having knit him up yet) Tigger is looking lonely. He needs a friend. My next favourite Hundred Acres Wood resident is Piglet. So here is Piglet, all illusionated so he can hide in the background when he wants, and say hello when he wants. (Piglet .... is a boy right? Somehow this detail is not something I had considered before. Oh well)

Now back to the chocobo.

The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers!

As usual, I got distracted.

Honestly, I am knitting the chocobo. But, well. We are redoing our internet, so I'm being sociable in the living room, and the chocobo is upstairs. So I got tea. That's always a good plan. Now for a song I think:

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps
They're loaded with vim and with vigor
They love to leap in your laps
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one.
Tiggers are wonderful fellahs.
Tiggers are awfully sweet.
Everyone elses is jealous,
And thats why I repeat...
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Are Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers

............................................................................... is they hold your tea.

You now understand the link between all these things and how my train of non-thought ended up here, with a Tigger illusion to add to my collection of other illusions.

I have the attention span of a gnat.

For a selection of reasons (most of which I don't understand and the ones I do are basically that I fail at internet) I am now using a totally different scribd account. Which totally doesn't matter to you lovely readers. Here's the link: Tigger Illusion

If you knit it - send me a pic of the completed thing please! I can put it on ravelry then :)

Kweh!

So chocobos. They are awesome.

I've been playing through VIII again recently, and while chocobos don't figure anywhere near as highly there as they do in the other games in the series, they are still totally cool.

So clearly, I must knit one.

Darn internet. We just worked out how to get it in the kitchen (10 months later) but that meant I just lost it for an important minute. I already finished this post. Oh well.

Anyways.

Infact I clearly must knit all the chocobos. The ones that run on land alone, the ones that run in shallow water, the ones that can climb mountains, the ones that run in oceans deap, the ones that have mastered the skys themselves.

Ie - all the ones in IX. They were the best chocobos. They found hidden treasure and everything.

There is a small problem - there is no pattern. There's some crochet ones, but I am truly awful at crochet. Truly. Awful. I spent the afternoon trying. And failing. Really, really failing. As a result I am now making up a knitting pattern as I go along, and have just noticed (halfway through the body) that I should really have been writing it down...... It would have made the repeat chocobos much easier.

Oh for an easy life.

Or a sense of what 'organisation' means. 

Done

Pictures to follow.

Pictures!

They had to follow cause I wanted Sam to get the first looksee since it was her birthday way back in October. But then, Sam got the dragon, and I forgot to take pictures. So, Sam took pictures. Me and my general fail with photos.....

So close...... and yet so many ears

Ears.
How many does one dragon need?

I mean really?

OMG a SALE!!!!!

I made a sale!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone thinks the patterns I make are worth MONEY!!!!

Honest to goodness MONEY!!!!

Ok. So if you look closely you'll note that the honest to goodness money is 50p. But really. Thats just quibbling with semantics. Its still money.

That was it really. I haven't been doing anything remotely like interesting knitting recently. But. Whatever. Its nearly Easter hols. (2 weeks in fact). 

Keep happy everyone.
