Miniature Knitting
Did you know that Coraline’s star sweater, as well as various other articles of clothing in the movie, were hand-knitted? They were made by the extremely talented Althea Crome, and what she creates and how she goes about it are amazing! You can read a nice, long interview with Althea over at OregonLive.com, or view more of her work on her personal site, Bugknits.
Here’s a video that gives you an idea about what she has to do to complete one of her miniature projects.

Crocheted Animal Sculptures
Since sometimes I’m lazy about posting my finished objects here, but I still spend a bit of every day looking at knit and crochet projects online, I thought I’d start posting fantastically amazing, amazingly fantastic finds here. This IS a raveling blog, after all, and everyone needs a bit of inspiration!
Obviously this is the first of such posts, which I am lovingly calling “Ravelry in the Wild” because I feel like it.
Today’s find features Shauna Richardson’s animal sculptures. Shauna’s been commissioned to crochet three giant lion sculptures to celebrate London 2012, and you can see why! Click the picture below to see more examples of her work and watch a video about the Lionheart Installation.

I spent memorial day weekend sorting through my yarn stash and putting it in some kind of order. I started with the drawer filled with sock weight yarn.

Nice Try, Spammers.
When you post a comment about a tutorial working on a post that has no tutorial, you pretty much give yourself away. Idiots.

Hellooooooo Nurse!
I’m slowly getting things all set up and hoping that this place won’t be so hard to navigate. I’m going to start by filling in the patterns, I think, and then I’ll get into putting up all the projects I’ve finished over the years. Bear with me!
