Chaotic Yule Secrets
I have many things planned for my D&D groups as Yule gifts, to which no one will be let in.
No one.
Not even you, Christina.
It's a total secret. Until Yule. I might even throw all of your presents into a bag and make you all scrabble around inside trying to figure out which one is yours. Yes, this year will be a chaotic Christmas.And I am totally okay with that.
For those of you that are sneaky and will try to login to my Ravelry account to see what I'm working on, I have news for you. Was I smart and changed my password? Hell no! You'll see this instead:
I love Yule.
Tiny Projects: My Little Blue Dice Bag
From my brother Allen and my best friend Christina bought me some beautiful blue dice (just like the Caribbean blue, but not frosted) for Yule, and it turns out I had the perfect blue to match. This was my absolute first attempt at a knitted dice bag. No pattern, just improvised. It has a little point on the bottom.
Tiny Projects: Allen's Dice Bag
Allen, my brother, wanted a dice bag large enough for one set of dice. I decided to make him a little one. This only took me a few hours, but the stripes jog. He was happy enough with it.
Tiny Projects: Keythulhu
This went to Christina, our resident Dungeon Master. He's a little dirty, but she still has him. I used the pattern Cthulhu by NeedleNoodles with a 0.6mm hook and crochet thread. He's stuffed with polyfill.
Added Cuff, Please
Well, I have these really nice knitted socks. When I was a hundred pounds lighter, they were thigh-highs. Now, they won't stay on my thighs without rolling down. Since they're so tall, and I'm so short, I decided to unravel them to right below my knee, pick up stitches around, and then knit a cuff. On one, it's going to say "betch" and on the other, "deck." Idea of that courtesy Red, who also introduced me to the Kelly videos. They’re comedic and on YouTube. Check them out?
Cozy French Press
Well, I use my French Press mostly at my friend Tiffani's house. They have an enclosed porch that is the smoking room. When I'm sitting out there, ten minutes after the hot water is poured into the French press the coffee is cold. I found the Natural Coffee Cozies by Bernat Design Studio pattern and decided wool would be best at keeping it warm. Right now, I'm just worried that after I felt the piece and stick it on the French press, it'll shrink and break the beaker. We will see...
Red's Scarf
Red gave me some fuzzy black and white yarn, so I decided to make her a scarf out of it. I asked her if she wanted vertical or horizontal stripes and she said, "Harry Potter house scarf stripes." I had all summer to do this, and now that it's cold, it's not done!
