Pens, Paper, & Ammo

I present to you…

…the Pac-Rack Drum Cozy for Rock Band!  Looking for a way to show off your crafter and gamer pride all at once?  Well, here you go!

Just a little tease:

I’d like to make some more mythology-inspired patterns for my Etsy shop.  Any suggestions?

I finally dug out the few sweaters that I had knit for the Nooblet months ago… and it’s a good thing I did.  I now mourn the fact that there is no possible way that these will fit her come winter.  Still, I made sure to get some pictures last weekend.

She’s already getting so big!

I believe this is the first time I ever posted a picture of myself…

 Also, I had a request for a pattern of a sop to add to my Cerberus pattern.  I’m going to attempt to get a quick freebie pattern ready for next week.  Now… let’s see if the Nooblet allows to actually pick up a crochet hook.

Only 18 days to go! I don’t have much to write, but here are some pictures!

While we didn’t actually celebrate Father’s Day this year (and we weren’t going to “jinx” it by doing it early), I did give him a small basket filled with “new daddy essentials.”

Caffeinated hot chocolate, baby manual, ear plugs, Aleve, Dove Chocolates, a mug that says “#1 Dad” in binary, gum, rubber ducky, and a onesie.

Yeah, we’re geeks.

The nursery is pretty much done:

It looks much better in person, I swear. The tin-foil is there to teach Sergio (pictured) that the crib is not his personal bed.

…and The Nooblet’s coming-home outfit was finally decided upon and I another pair of booties.

Yes, I know they don’t quite match. I have vowed not to purchase more yarn until next year. I’m sure she won’t mind.

I’m addicted to this pattern. Can you tell?

The Cerberus pattern is finally up for sale on Etsy! Check it out!

Peepscakes!

Also, the Cerberus pattern is finished. I’m just currently trying to make a PDF that will actually work. The pattern will be available on my Etsy page within a day or so.

The first day of Spring blew in with a gust of cool air… and so did allergy season. Sitting here, I find myself simultaneously alternating between states of stuffiness and sniffliness, wondering if my allergies are flaring up just for the very fact that today is the first day of spring or if it’s only a coincidence.

Seasonal complaints aside, I finished the Nooblet’s brown sweater last night and finally managed to drag out the camera for a couple of unimpressive shots.

The sleeves drove me insane.

Detail of the adorable buttons.

And, because almost every photoshoot eventually degrades into vying of attention by the kitty-boys, here is one final picture.

I bet Houdini would fit in that sweater…

I’ve had a fair number of requests on Ravelry for my Cerberus pattern. After far too much procrastination, I have finally found the determination to begin working on it. If all goes as hoped, I should have the pattern up by Saturday. Depending on the amount of time I have after the Nooblet is born, Cerberus might be the first in a line of mythology-inspired amigurumi that I may or may not sell on Etsy. It all depends on my competency in writing a pattern.
