Just winging it

Man, I got some good puns.

So I recently bought myself a new camera to commemorate the blogs popularity (obviously that's a lie haha), and to commemorate my new camera, I made a new pattern!

When I was making my bat hat, I looked around for a pattern for wings, but couldn't find anything that really worked, so I made some and thought of some other uses for them, and thus came the owl and snitch!

Without further ado here it is!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This pattern is for the wings and main body only, the entire pattern for the owl is coming soon, so check back.

I mustache you a question...

How punny do you think I am?

That's a double pun right there. Okay, so mustaches are pretty popular now, and all I can grow is a dirty little fuzz-stache. So I made a pattern for me and everyone else who lack the necessary hormones to grow a great mustache! Here's a few photos of some different colors and my cousin posing with the finished product.

Christmas in July

Now, I know its not July, but I was in the Christmas spirit and I've been meaning to make a good Santa hat pattern for my booth in October.

Oh yah, if you happen to be in the Thousand Oaks area on October 16th I'm having a booth at the 20th Annual Thousand Oaks Street Fair on Moorpark road! For more information and directions click here.

Anyhow, back to business. I made them in red and green, and I think I'm gonna put elf ears on them soon too! So anyhow, here's some photos of my cousin Sara wearing the Santa hats.







I don't have the pattern written down just yet, you're just gonna have to wait for Christmas I guess!
