So...@Sheri is that N7 blanket a planned addition to your store?

Typhoid Manny · July 2012

at the very least i know it's not lead. i bought it specifically because it was lead-free, which means it's shitty for soldering

@Janson and @Moriveth won a custom large item in the Child's Play Charity auction this year and that's what they chose.

Sheri · July 2012

OMGGGG

Vann Diras · July 2012

yesssss

Jordyn · July 2012

Sheri did you get my suggestion on facebook?

eh?

eh?

Sheri · July 2012

I wouldn't even know where to start Jordyn

Do you have any artistic renderings of it

Jordyn · July 2012

I have several.

Jordyn · July 2012

One was on my birthday cake.

Sheri · July 2012

Well

I mean

It's worth a shot

lonelyahava · July 2012

that is awesome Sheri.

seriously.

Awesome.

I'm kinda excited to be out of work soon so I can start on my crocheting in a bit more serious manner.

Well...if such a thing as a second blanket were available, I should be quite interested.

Sheri · July 2012

I do custom orders, you know!

PM meeeee

@lonelyahava Thanks!

Oh wow!
Could you put a book or something next to it so we can see the scale of the blanket??

Sheri · July 2012

I can! But not for a few days. If it helps, at the bottom there is a regular little one-step steps tool that I'm standing on. Also if you remember the other afghan photos, where I put them on our love seat? It fills the love seat and just covers the arms. So, just slightly smaller than this.

lonelyahava · July 2012

I wonder if I could figure out how to do something similar but with a D3 kind of motif....

Or something.

Like make a little lap blanket for our friends who spend their nights playing the game.

It's winter down here.... so cold.

Sheri · July 2012

Sheri · July 2012

@skettios asked for a photo showing scale

It's a good couch-sized afghan! It's big enough to cover both @Janson and @Moriveth over their laps, or just one of them from chin to toe. I measured it against myself cuz I'm pretty sure they're both near my height.

Sheri · July 2012

Also it looks a little wonky due to camera angle

It's not actually bigger on bottom I swear :P

lonelyahava · July 2012

ooohh!

I love that snowflakey motify thing!

I've got a new commission! I'm making a 'monster' hat for a friend's nephew. Although I'm going to think about changing it to a dinosaur hat.

Sheri · July 2012

Dinosaur hats are the best

@Keith

lonelyahava · July 2012

I made an owl hat for his little sister and included with it a little scarf that matched. He thought the scarf was for him so he's been running around with a neon pink scarf for about a month.

Sheri · July 2012

I made this. Today.

Mom2Kat · July 2012

One of these days I am actually going to be able to crochet something other than an single crochet square or single crochet border on something I've knitted. Untill that day i will still be knitting these damn iPad cozies I decided I had to make 5 of. 3 down and part or 4 started!

lonelyahava · July 2012

I love it Sheri! Love love!

I'm getting ready to start the dragon hat. then I've got a baby cardigan to do as a gift. Then another owl hat (or not).

so much to do!

Sheri · July 2012

I also did this today

daaaang! gw

TrueHereticX · July 2012

Sheri that's cool.

You guys make cool shit.

Geniah · July 2012

I can do quilling. These days I create birthday cards using quilling technique, I quill different colour papers and make flowers, tree and many more stuff. Most of my friends were born on this month, so I create nice birthday cards for them.

Flay · July 2012

I spent most of today sewing a Finn hat, which is the first time I've touched a sewing machine outside of high-school textiles classes. I'm trying to learn now because it seems like a pretty useful skill to have for when I finally move out, but It's also pretty fun. I want to sew more things now. Photos later.

Also trying to think of a batman-related thing I can make for my friend's birthday that's within my meager abilities. I don't have any woodworking tools but sewing is an option, or anything else. I was thinking of trying to make a batman grappling-hook replica out of a nerf gun, but I'm not sure how I'd go about that. Any other suggestions?

Sheri · July 2012

Donovan Puppyfucker · July 2012

Nice!

lonelyahava · July 2012

love it, sheri!

man, i just found out that I have another baby blanket to produce.

only the mother to be hates the normal baby colors.

Apparently for her little boy, she's aiming for blacks and reds.

so I get to make a pirate colored blanket or something.

This is going to be fun.

Kochikens · July 2012

???
I don't know anything about yarn, but the beige one looks stiffer/lighter, like a thicker yarn? Which makes it seem like it'd be a bit more annoying to wrap around my throat because it'd be pooftier. But I like the beige more because its more watsony...

help, yarn-people

Sheri · July 2012

Because I'm pretty sure the Kids thread is sick of seeing this thing

Here is a thing I finished

il_570xN.358109285_qt29.jpg

lonelyahava · July 2012

Well then the Kids thread is silly! That is really awesome Sheri! I have to be careful or my man is going to ask me to make one for us!

I'm freaking out about this cardigan! I've got it to the point that it needs to be sewn together.

and I'm freaking out. Cause what if I screw it up!

I can't wait to finish it, but i'm scared of the next step!

Sheri · July 2012

If you screw it up, you can just take out the sewing and fix it

Right?

I've never really made wearables (well I made a little shrug once but it was all one piece so that hardly counts)

Kochikens · July 2012

thats awesome sheri

...now make an iron man arc-reactor one

lonelyahava · July 2012

yeah. i know i can just redo it.

but i am still a bit nervous about it. my first attempt at a wearable thing.

I get this one right, I've got another to work on. The youngest baby that I babysat for many years ago is now having a baby. A boy. And she wants reds and greys for the clothes.

she is gonna make me nuts. :P

ok! Sleep time for me!
