Motorcycle Jacket!!

well at long last i finally finished this after working for weeks to work out my own pattern from complete scratch and then just working it up and then having to get more yarn to finish it. i'm pretty happy with this. it's bulky but so are real ones so i'm cool. it's not completely finished i still have to completely reinforce the main zipper and add some more snaps(have to get more) to the lapels to hold them in place and make them look better. also i will be adding a belt to the bottom to make it more accurate to a real jacket it will be crocheted as well as will the belt loops of course.

here it is layed out


here's the little money pouch pocket deal


here is the diagonal pocket which was reall a pain to do


real jackets have zippers on the cuff too but i didn't think i could handle any more


here is the collar and the lapels, they're kind of ify but they'll do


and here it is in action modeled by yours truely :)

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!! i created that hat on the guy in the front with debbie stoller!!!!!!!! this is going to be freakin sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!1

MISFITS!!

so i've had this sweater that i stenciled the crimson ghost on the back for awhile and recently i decided that it needed to be a zip up! so i went for it i cut up the front and "sewed" in a black zipper. i wanted a pink one but i couldn't find one, but i guess i could always change it if i wanted. also i thought this had to have the word Misfits on the front so i did that as well. here it is.



i forgot to take a picture of the front before i put in the zipper

misfits kick ass and i think this turned out perfect

Ribbit!!

a lady at work asked me if i could make a frog toilet paper cover a while ago well i kind of didn't have any inspiration to make one but i told her i could do it easy so after a couple weeks of some serious procrastination she tells me that her mom wants one and now another lady wants one, so after work that day which was yesterday i buckled down and made my first one.

can you tell it's a frog other than the tongue and fly on it?


ah ha! there it is!!


here are the legs

YEEEEEHAAAAWW

well i finally did it!! i just couldn't get it i don't know what i was doing. even this time i still had to fix numerous mistakes but i finally did it!! maybe it was because i didn't use two strands of yarn or cotton for that matter or the right hook who knows. but i got it done. i'm not really into cowboy hats or anything, but i know i can use this pattern to make a pretty good fedora which is pretty close to this i just need to make the brim a little smaller which i should have just done but oh well. i need to make this for one of my friends who has a country boy side and would wear a cowboy hat kind of like this. anyway here is it.

sorry for the cheesy pose

here is one a bit closer

Jesus(HEY-ZEUS) the Chihuahua

my girlfriend has been missing her little chihuahua since we moved so i made her this guy to keep her company. i personally love the bandana with the j on it, kills me. i might have to make a life size one for the real Jesus(HEY-ZEUS). i just have to finish it up by putting eyes on it but i don't have anything to do that so he'll have to wait for the light.....HAHAHAHAHA. do you get it? maybe that's one of my famous only funny to me jokes... anyways what do you think?

OH!! i got the pattern from this site [url=http://www.katcrochet.com/chi.htm]CHIHUAHUA[/url]

CONAN O BRIEN

i made my sister a conan o brien doll cause she loves him and i love her! i had a bigger draft in the works for christmas last year but the hair gave me some serious problems so it didn't get done but i started it again yesterday made it a little bit smaller and figured out an ok way to get the hair done so now i just need to send him off! i'm pretty sure my sister will go ape sh** for him.

ready to shine!! look at that tie he's a lady killer!!


i used french knots for the eyes and some embroidery floss for the mouth i tried to do some shaping to get a chin but it do much but it's ok. the nose is a bobble


he's got a snazy little blazer jacket lapels and all i sewed the front shut to keep it simple.....plus i forgot a button hole i'll have to make a knew one later that she can put on instead


he even has some ears made out of an four stitches in one stitch two being long half double stitches to for an earlobe then i slipstitched back to make them all onestitch(i took out the increases) which pushed out the ear a little bit
