Creepy Cute

I love the book Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden.  All the patterns are basically the same boddy , head and arms.  How you detail them is what gives each creature its unique personality.  I am "hooked" on amigarumi any way.  Above is picture the Ninja and Cthulhu.  Time permitting I am wanting to make the bride and groom.

I'm such a joiner, now I have to wait and see if they will let me in the 2008 Holiday KAL/CAL

Off my needles #1 sock from the Ram club kit August order.  The men's toe-up work sock with a twist.  I am really enjoying the pattern and knitting with the yarn.  YOu knit the pattern with two different yarn held together and worked as one.  For a ginormous foot...it is going pretty quickly.  I learned the Sewn bind off the other night as I bound off the sock...pretty cool!  I'm one sock closer to completing Socktoberfest

Fetchin' some yarn

On Ravelry I posted a picture of the Fetching I made.  I didn't care for the thumb in the pattern so I "riffed " put in a gusset.  Here are the changes I made:

After the third cable twist on the cuff,  ( K 4 p1) four times, K2,pm, m1, pm k2, p1, (k4,p1)four times

( K 4 p1) four times, k5, p1, (k4,p1)four times

( K 4 p1) four times, K2, sl marker, m1, k1,m1, slip marker k2, p1, (k4,p1)four times

( K 4 p1) four times, k7, p1, (k4,p1)four times

then continued in that manner increasing between the stitch markers every other row until I had 15 stitches between the markers. On the row after finishing the increses I put the stitches between the markers on waste yarn,, finished the rest of the hand as written in the pattern. Picked up the thumb stitches knit four rounds before binding off  I’m going to try incresing eveythird row on the next pair. With the Malabrigo 15 stitches makes for a big thumb
