	Blue-eyes-green I'm working on piecing the quilt my grandmother started in like 1935- it's taking forever because I have to hand applique about 25 wheels onto muslin. I can see why it sat unfinished in a trunk for 70 years. Maybe a granddaugter of my will finish it. I'm also crocheting an afgan when I start going cross-eyed from taking itty bitty stitches. that actually sounds pretty cool to me.

	It's really pretty and will be awesome if I ever get in finished, but I can only stand to work on it for about an hour at a time and that only gets about a fifth of a wheel done, so it's taking forever.

	I'll try to post some... it may take awhile, I've yet to figure out how to get digital photos from the camera onto the computer, let alone how to post things on Gaia. hangs head in computer illiterate shame

	firrantello Since I haven't seen one pop up in a few weeks, I'll make one! What are you working on this week? Sorry about not posting, I'm not intentionally ignoring everyone. I've been fighting with my computer all month and can rarely use the forums if I can get on Gaia at all. It looks like the computer has to go back into the shop because I can't figure out what's going on by myself. I'll be back when I can.

	I got my dollfie last week, and i got her eyes on saturday. mrgreen I'm hoping to give her a faceup today. My sister bought me a bunch of barbie patterns, so i'm working on adapting them to fit her. I made her a sundress out of my mom's old blouse's sleeves, and i'm working on making her a yukata, too.

	are they 12" circulars? i have a pair of those... they hurt my hands. but it could be because they're like US3s and i usually use US8s or US10s. oh well. Written pattern or chart pattern? No. Check this out. These circular needles are 8 1/2 inches long! They're tiny! They are size 8, but they don't have a cord between them, they have a flat piece of plastic to keep you from getting your knitting twisted. They also featurea a package with absolutely no English language except the brand. They're made by Clover and they hurt my hands to use them so I need more practice.

	I am working on my first crochet piece. It is a red "Frida Kahlo" skirt from the Summer Knit.1 magazine. I am only about 1/3 of the way done with it. I am working it up in red cotton (I got Sugar & Cream...the cheap stuff...but it will do). I finished a cute lil hand purse today. I wish I had a camera to show you guys! I even embroidered a gorgeous middle-eastern flower on it! I didn't have a pattern for the bag...just went with a whim. I am proud it turned out! I am also trying to put together my first zine! That is a lot of work.

	I'm making clothes for Mikono's dollfie, as well. As of this very moment, I'm making a hat - scanned in a poofie hat pattern I had floating around, scaled it down to 1/5, and pulled out some black scrap to make it out of. I've almost got the stitching on the top bit done, then I just have to do the brim and lining. Takes a while cuz I'm hand stitching it with tightly-spaced overcast stitches to prevent fraying (since I didn't want to bother adding seam allowance - the original gets eaten when the pattern is scaled down sweatdrop ). Here's hoping it turns out cute! whee Also on the plan this week is to hopefully actually sew the purse I designed so I can stop stealing Mikono's all the time, and figure out some motifs to embroider/bead onto the doll clothes I'm making. And make alterations to the pattern for my 18" porcelain doll so I can make her new Victorian dress.

	I'm knitting a pirate flag. pirate Basically knitting different sized squares/rectangles with different stitches/yarn/needle sizes. When I'm done I'll stitch them all together- hopefully it'll be blanket-sized- and then bleach a skull and crossbones into the middle. I'm doing this all without a pattern or any idea if it'll even work, but I've found that when I set my mind to a project, it usually comes out... decent at least.
