Snarkel Series - Planning


Well, the radio station is starting to take notice of the backpack, so the next likely project to do is one for a friend, who wants... well... an odd little piece. Literally, "A snorkel on a hat".

Well, who am I to argue? Except I think having multiple bits is better than just one... the example pattern shows three merged into one, and I think I can pull it off just fine. A little yarn mixing to make sure the snorkel bits sit up before I work on the actual beanie, and since I already have the right colors in Lily "Sugar and Cream" cotton yarn, this should come out perfectly funky.

Of course, I need to finish up my other pieces before I get to work on this one... and since I have a general deadline of "before the semester's over", I should work quickly! I'm gonna have to delay the Sushi-rae further to do it, but eh...

WREK Backpack Series - Progress Report



Well, I want to try to finish this bag before MomoCon as it'll likely be my best shot to show the bag off as an artistic work, but I'm torn between doing that and getting a few of my other art projects ready in time, not to mention the whole "I have major projects due in every course before spring break" issue.

This is a slightly old picture, but it's the next as far as progress goes. The large letters are coming in QUITE large, to the point I almost wonder if the bag is going to be much bigger than I expected just because the roundness was so deceptive. Then again, it's not like having a big bag is ever a bad thing.
