Gear it Up

This weekend I went to a steampunk convention. I was a little nervous because I didn't have a themed costume but I pulled out an Victorian Gothic dress, a mini top hat, corset and hoped for the best. I worry too much, everyone at the con was super sweet and friendly and loved my get up (especially my coffin purse). I'm still waiting for some of the great shots from the con, I will be sure to share a few when I get them.

Anyway... back to crochet.

The lovely little gears would be beautiful as embellishments on costumes or starch them to make lovely steampunk Christmas ornaments.

Tea Bag Cosy

I am a tea drinker, (think Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim) lots and lots of tea, all sorts. Although I prefer loose tea, when I travel I take along a few prepackaged bags.

Make the tea bag in any color (try the color of your favorite tea). Stuff lightly then whip stitch closed and it can be an amigurumi rather than a tea bag cosy. 

Affinity Infinity

I had never been one for infinity scarves until recently, now I am obsessed. This scarf was patterned after one on a clothing site I love.

 This sucker is BIG and could go even larger if you want.

Mine is about 80 inches around and 9.5 inches wide.

Darling Devil

Halloween is right around the corner and if you are like me and still piecing together a costume you may like this project.

Creature Mask

Eye Balls

Just in time for the Halloween season, why not make some eye balls? Stuff them with fluff for a soft toy or fill them with plastic beads for juggling or hacky sack.

Bunny Blank

By now you should know I love rabbits. I am owned by two rabbits, a holland lop and a lionhead. Even my friends call me Bunny. 

I created this bunny to go along with a set I am making for my sister-in-law and my soon to be niece or nephew. The baby isn't due till early next year but I like to have things done ahead of time.

Little Lion

RAWR! 

I'm a lion

My husband has been wanting to dress Weezer up like a lion forever. I finally got around to making a costume.

Chakra Hat

With the help of Pinterest and Snow White cosplayers I have a super cute new hair style. (No really, I showed the stylist pics of Snow White cosplayers when she asked how I wanted my hair) The shorter cut lets my naturally curly hair shine. Oh, and I really look cute in hats now so...

Bicycling Cowl

 The past few mornings have been in the 70s, in Florida this is when we pretend it is Fall. The cooler mornings are making me excited to pull out my newly acquired vintage Schwinn road bike. 

 It has been awhile since I have made up a pattern but the idea of a unisex cowl that would be great for biking popped into my  head yesterday. I sat down with some lovely earth toned yarn and this flew from my hook.
