I started this second Big Ear of Corn at least a year ago. I think I’m going to finish it for Youmacon and hopefully sell it… if not, I can auction it off to some Alex’s Guide fan or something.

When someone knits or crochets me something this is how I picture it happening.
THIS IS SO CUTE.

I MADE A SOCK.
THIS IS MY HAPPY FACE.

This should get all the reblogs… and maybe even tattoo it somewhere on me! :P
Oooh, helpful! Here’s the method I used before I got my grubby mitts on a ball winder.
This is a basically good method, but I really recommend using something much thicker than a knitting needle. It makes the yarn come out more smoothly and with less tangling. I used a paper towel tube with a notch at the top (for putting the tail end so it would disappear.
WHAT IS THIS SORCERY.

The neckline of the dress has big knitting needles stuck through it like she is knitting the dress onto herself. Sonya has bright orange hair with bangs.]
She’s crafty.
I loooove the big knitting needles.

I started a new knitting project yesterday! I’m making a pair of legwarmers that button up the sides. Hopefully they will resemble spats when I’m done with them. I’m modifying a lovely pattern I found on Ravelry to fit my legs.
I also hope my wool holds out for two of these. I got two skeins as a gift several years ago and never made anything with them, so this seemed as good a time as any! I’m hoping it works out to 1 leg warmer = 1 skein.
