Dear friends of craft and creepiness:

http://monstercrochet.blogspot.com/

It includes a skeleton antimacassar and a crochet wrap that depicts meat grilling. The internet is the best thing that ever happened to needlework.

    That is seriously impressive.

    The jellyfish is particularly awesome, it has waviness!

    Also, I am really enjoying the knitted works of Jess Hutch:

    i think i have a book of patterns that jess hutch created, but i haven't knitted anything from it. i have not had much time for needle-related crafts lately. :(

    You have her booklet? It looks awesome.

    Though yeah, I bet you don't have much time for needlecraft, now that you're finishing up and getting ready to move away from your friends. ^__^ If you ever make any of Jess Hutch's stuffed animals, will you post a picture?

    of course! there are definitely a few i want to make--i have to track down some of those cute magnetic eye-things though.

    A metal detector would help in the tracking process.

    As would a giant electromagnet.

    Are they magnetic? I thought they were sort-of rivet style.

    oh, my bad, they're not magnetic--they're called "safety eyes" and apparently use washers in some way. i just remember a huge sense of relief when i forst read it upon realizing i wouldn't have to try and sew 'em on. i am a terrible sewer.

    Heh. I actually thought those eyes were beads, which she'd strung on the yarn and knit into place. I used to use similar-looking beads when I made dolls when I was young.

    I'm so disappointed that her book is out of print.

    is it? well, if there's a pattern you want i can try and xerox it for you!

    i jsut realized that "sewer" could really be misconstrued, so i amend my earlier statement to instead say that i am a poor seamstress.
