So I'm trying to create a doll thing! So far it's going quite well I think.

Gauge swatch
4, 5 and 6 mm needles. I'm gonna go with 6 I think. But I don't know if I'm going to make a shawl or a sweater.
inspo/ thin knits
SO I haven't been doing things every day because life is full of stuff. But recently I have been finishing up some old ufo's and now I have only like two left so it's time to start a new project! Been looking for ideas and inspiration. Found some.
Pics are:

Jeez
The pressure of daily posting has been a bit too difficult for me lately. Gone through some horrible stuff. Really horrible. But it's getting better! Better and better for every day. And my creativity has really started to work again. Tomorrow it's Monday and I might try to make it a blog-day. Post lots of pics.
Hugs from Kittie!

Vintage yarn find
A friend of mine found this skein in a bag full of yarn and knitting needles and crochet hooks in a dumpster. After a little bit of searching the web I came to the conclusion that it's probably from the forties or fifties, when the brand "Sjöberg-garn" existed. Pretty neat huh!?

Day 54; a shawl
I finished this last night but I was so furious with it that I didn't want to take a picture of it until today. Because I didn't have enough yarn and had to redo it like a gazillion times.
It's made of colinette tao and... parisienne? The mohair one. Colorway marble. I LOVE tao some much. And colinette in general. I ordered four more skeins from amazon. I might redo the bindoff when they arrive if moss (the colorway I ordered) works.

Penguin jumpers
"Life is short and black and white just like little penguins" Pharrel once said. Now I don't agree with that but I do think it sounds pretty funny.
A penguin reservation outside Australia needs jumpers! I'm gonna make one.

Day 51; a ratty drawing
Sometimes I write a bit. I'm better at making up places and people than an actual story so I'm not sure my writing will ever become a book, but it's fun to fiddle with my very own reality. It's a fantasy story set in a world that is quite detailed but sadly also quite uneventful. This is a quick sketch of a person who's not even a character. She lives in a huge city in the middle of a vast desert. Her kind is the result of some crazy magic shit. They live alongside humans but are as despised as furries are in our world.
So yes, she's part rat, and I'm not a furry. I was thinking about not including the rat people in my not-really-a-story but I decided that fuck it, I want rat people. It's my story. I'm not a furry. 
With and without ink.

Day 38; troll babe
Starting to become friends with the new brush pen! Very happy with this. As soon as I get my scanner and my drawing pad I'll clean it up in ps and maybe even try to color it?
It's very influenced by an amazing artist called Amanda Lafrenais. I adore her work and when I get some kind of money I will donate it to her webcomic Love Me Nice.
I don't know if the girl in the drawing is actually a troll but I think she looks like she might be. She's got the 'tude yeah?
Hands are hard okay
Day 37; a drawing, slightly less crappy
Contrary to what it looks like this actually took me a couple of days to finish. Redrew a lot of it. I'm happy with the t-shirt and okay with the face.

Day 33; another girl
Yyyyup. For some reason some of the pics show up straight and some don't. In the future when I get my scanner back I'm going to scan pics instead of taking crappy photos of them with my telephone.
Day 31; a catchup drawing
Been inspired to draw today. Some silly doodles that I'm not very happy with but I need to re-learn a bit, not been keeping my drawing good? Or my English it seems?
Anyway, here is a girl that I drew.

Derpression
I'm still hoping on catching up but unfortunately I'm suffering from a crippling depression. Last few weeks have been extra bad.

Day 30; a catchup scrubbie
This horrible little thing came into existence because my face needs exfoliating and I had some tulle.
I'm not proud. But whatever. I want to catch up.
Day... 29? A pub portrait
I made this last night, not the 29th day at all, but, well, you know. Eh.
It's a portrait of a new acquaintance, it's not very good because wine. I gave it to her and she seemed pleased.
Day 27; mittens again!
While visiting Maria on the isle of Man I bought some amazing colinette yarn and made a pair of mittens. Big, thick and chunky.
Day 24; an old doodle
Trying to catch up! Here's a little doodle I made a couple of weeks ago.
Edit - tried figuring out how to turn it around but can't seem to find a way :(
Day 26; a portrait
Yesterday I did not manage to make anything at all. I slept until seven in the evening. I felt like shit.
Today I've been sleeping a whole lot as well and I still feel pretty horrible but a little bit better maybe.
I did a quick portrait of my wonderful hostess.

So many days
I've been sick and on vacation and a little bit stressed out. Now I'm home and soon regular posting will resume. I might get up to speed. We'll see.

a lot of days lost in the mists
The wifi here on isle of man doesn't let me post from my phone, so the things I have made are still secrets to you, dear readers.
I've been sick and mostly just crocheted on my big blanket project though. Feeling better now so I'm going to try to catch up. Pics when I get home probably, I am on vacation after all!

Day 23; African flower
Today I crocheted an African flower from a book that I found at a friends place. I'll try to remember what the book was called. Because I don't remember now.

Day 22; a silly self portrait
I fell asleep and slept all through the evening and now it's really late but I drew a bunch of stuff that I was really unhappy with and then finally a not very great but good enough selfie.
