Recent custom work and future plans

Here are some of the latest custom orders I've completed.

This one is based on Amaterasu from the Okami game

This one is a little knitted scorpion

Now onto my plans for the next little while...

Aside from finishing the custom orders. I intend to have some stock built up for the summer as I'm hoping to get into the farmer's market. I will be keeping you posted on whether I get accepted or not

Convention Aftermath

Holy Hell what a weekend!
Sci-Fi on the Rock V was GREAT! I'm still recuperating

Here are some pics from the con and I'll be posting more project pics later

First up, me at my table:



If I look tired in this pic, it's because I was. I had been on the go since 6 that morning

It was quiet at first but picked up fast



There was a great turnout this year and there was a lot to take in in terms of the talent alone.




The costumes were amazing and so were the people

All in all it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait for next year! My knitting went over well and I made some good contacts. I couldn't be more pleased

Thanks to everyone who took the time to come and see me!

It was great meeting you all. You made this weekend awesome!

Sci Fi on the Rock

I am super happy to say that I'll be bringing my geeky knits to Sci Fi on the Rock 5 in April, so come by and check out my table

The convention is taking place at the Holiday Inn in St. John's from April 15-17 . You can read more about it at www.scifiontherock.com


Also, I've been knitting away on several projects, so here are two of the latest

A Cheep-Cheep

A little cuddle fish (hurr hurr) based on the Super Mario Bros. enemy


and

The latest in my line of cryptids: The Chuppacabra

Based on the description given in eyewitness accounts, then cutified in my usual way, this little, one-fanged chuppacabra is sure to add some quirky fun to anyone's collection. He doesn't take up much space and only needs to be fed half a goat every other week

Both of these are available at knitwolf.etsy.com

Canada Post Rant Part 2

Sorry to rant again but I just wanted to make an addition to my previous rant due to recent events...

Okay....

As you probably have guessed by the subjects of my knitting here, I am a geek so it should be no suprise that I bought Mothra and Godzilla figures on ebay a few weeks ago. The seller was very quick to respond and they were shipped the day after my order.

I waited anxiously, as I said for a few weeks, for the figures to arrive. Finally, a few days ago they were delivered

So what's my problem?

The problem is that they were delivered by some guy who found the package left in his driveway and who was nice enough to find my house and give it to me.

Now what I hope, and what probably happened is that the package was knocked out of the mail carriers bag as they grabbed someone else's mail and they didn't notice, but really?
I know it was just my collectibles, but what if that had been someones medication or something else that was really needed? It just seems very careless to me.

Perhaps I'm overreacting due to already being miffed by what I brought up in the first rant, but I just had to get that off my chest...

back to knitting again; hoping to have another project up soon
