I got a Benedict crucifix which apparently has a medal of St. Benedict on the back, which means it has an indulgence for a happy death (he's the saint of the dying) so I felt really really weird using it, but she's an embalmer/funeral director so hopefully it'll make sense.
That's beautiful! I wish I had your talent. All my hand made jewelry looks like crap >.<

Daww, thanks! It was the first piece of jewelry I made, and I gotta say I'm really proud of it.

I had some beads left over so I made myself a necklace.

I kinda want to dump a lot of stuff I've made here, but much of it is knitting... so does it go here or in the Knitting thread?

The pressure

SICK. I was just thinking the other day that if I get a start on Christmas gifts now I can have time to knit nice fair isle things.

Thanks Saya! I've whored out a lot of my old pics elsewhere but haven't posted them here, so do you guys want to see them?

Meh, no sense in the pics just sitting there I guess. I'm done holding out on you, have some knit porn

I love the lace stockings! I'll have to give lace knitting another chance, although I'm very partial to fishnet crochet. Is the pattern available online?

I recently finished a Newfoundland flag scarf and it got me out of my knitting funk. I got a Kobo giftcard for my birthday so I'm snooping for a new book for Christmas knits ideas. I also started planning out a shadow scarf pattern (cat faces) but it isn't going too well so far XD

Thanks Saya! Yep, the pattern sure is available online. It's a free one on Knitty.

I found the fishnet pattern extremely easy, the worst part was redesigning the pattern to fit my smaller legs/feet and make up for the fact that my yarn was a different weight with zero elastic. (That's why it's chunkier than the Knitty pic.)

Next time I knit these I want to try using Patons stretch sock yarn, as Esprit and Cascade Fixation both have high shipping costs for Oz.

Oh for fucks sake. The link broke because Gothic.net starred out the l o l i t a in the name 'L o l i t a Legs'.

Just remove the spaces.

So you inspired me to try out intarsia again, I haven't done it since the monkey backpack thing.



I think I'd like to do it again with sock yarn, a dice bag doesn't need to be that big and a few places are pulled too tight where it was pulled off, and its more box shaped than the original Lasombra icon, but its a good start.

Woot! That looks awesome, I might have to make a dice bag of my own. I don't really play MTG anymore but there may be a Pathfinder game coming up.

Then there's also a whole heap of velvet, velour and lace skirts, and every top I own I've altered in some way, and I've made about half entirely from scratch. And how could I forget all my stockings? Not a single pair has escaped the attack of the scissors/fingernails (very handy for making runs in them!).

I really am quite a DIY maniac. I just don't feel the same sense of accomplishment or individuality when I wear something I bought from a shop.
Yeah! Another DIY lover! My wardrobe is about 95% homemade. And I love historic styles too. My masterpiece is probably a dress I made from scratch a while ago, which is black with dark blue lace trim. It's floor length, off the shoulder with elbow-length sleeves and has a little V-cut waist (great for showing off the results of my corset-related hard work). Wish I could wear it every day!
