No way, those are Ikea catalogs? Holycrapthatssocool .

They look awesome, but in the first picture they look a little bit like vaginas  or maybe thats just my immature brain working overtime.

Now that you mention it...

Awesome!!! My husband would get such a kick out of these. I'm going to make them as soon as we're settled into our new apartment. Love the colors, too -- may I ask what kind of yarn you used?

DH's cousin and her husband are having their first baby this month, so I thought I'd take advantage of it and brush up on my crocheting, trying as many new stitches as I could find: 15, to be exact (there are 16 squares but I think I repeated the dc,sc stitch as I was running out of ideas). I wish I'd written down what stitches I did for what square, as now the blankie is gone, 2,000 miles away in Utah, waiting for its wee owner to enter the world.









What do you think?

That's beautiful! I know you only used 5 colors, but it looks more like 10 because of the different stitch. It's really a lovely technique.

Truly amazing. I love the creative simplicity. Looks like it does its job well, too! You're awesome.

He's got such beautiful hair! Love the blanket. My aunt made one like that for me when I was born, and 22 years later, I still can't let go of it.

Wow! And for a first unique pattern, too! It's positively adorable! Did you show it to your daughter, yet, or are you saving it for the party?

I'd definitely consider posting a Poyoco picture, or a link, or something, so people can see just how good you got the resemblance down. I mean, even the swirls on the knees! Too cute.

What a freakin' great idea.

I, too, perspire a bit much for the female persuasion. What a great way to breathe new life into old, armpit-sad shirts. I'm also getting close to having my first baby, and am definitely considering doing this to a few of the shirts I know I won't be fitting into any time soon, so I can have some new, non-maternity stuff to wear as my belly starts to shrink.

My husband thinks that's super cool. I'm kind of sorry I showed him, because now I can't steal it and use it on him. Oh well, maybe he'll forget in a few years. I doubt it, though. That's so clever!

Is it difficult to gloop on enough melted chocolate on the balloon to get it thick enough? How long does it take for them to dry? I've seen this done before, but yours look really great.

Toesocksrock apparently gets nothing. I'm bummed about that. Itsmemaggi (a name I use for most other boards I'm on) has none, either.

Firefox didn't let me down, though: for toesocksrock, I got, among other things, skyrockets, which is kind of cool. For Itsmemaggi, I got Magging, and I don't even know what that is. Hm.
