TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

I forgot to put up the picture of my crocheted octopus! Here she is:

   I love her! She's so cute but such a pain. I'm just not a fan of working in such small spaces. However, she's so darling that it's worth it. She's being made with Caron Simply Soft and a size G(? I can't remember!) hook. Pattern from someone on craftster.

A couple of really good bead pictures: (If you liked the other one's you'll love these!)

The one on the left is all the beads I have made from magazine ads/catalogs over the years. There is a big group of unfinshed ones towards the top, as I've found it's easier to roll a bunch and then Mod Podge them all later rather than rolling them and immediately Mod Podge-ing one-by-one. The close-up is of some of my favorites. I LOVE the brown ones, and I don't even remember what they're from. They're originals, from when I was making these in high school. (Although, the real originals are the ones I made when I was about 10 from the Americal Girl craft book.) A lot of the newer ones are teal and purple out of a Pottery Barn teen catalog. They've turned out well. 

 There have been a ton of butterflies in my yard lately. I took some pictures today and they turned out awesomely.

 There a literally a TON more pictures in my photobucket, so if you like these there are more there. (beware that they're not really separated by album or subject so there is random/weird stuff in there!) 

There will be some more knitting content soon, I promise!
