I saw this while chillin’ on Pinterest and I thought “What a true and clever t-shirt! I’ma buy one!” It wasn’t until I went to check out, all set to pay a reasonable $21.95 on Teespring.com that it hits me in the face. The shirt that hails to the awesomeness that is crochet portrays a set of knitting needles!!!! EPIC FAIL! I had to laugh and did I ever! I’ll be saving my money on this one for now, thank you.

AT AT Walker in Knit!
Teashopcrafts on Tumblr posted this piece they were working on and I squealed with geekish joy! Please turn it into a hat or something when you’re done! Love it and had to share.
Dr.Who Scarf!
I’m usually not one for scarves but this one is bigger on the inside! Free pattern from Knitty. Why oh why did I ever stop learning how to knit?!
For the Whovians down in Whoville.
Now isn’t that clever? Love it! Cyber men and everything!
Lasso of Cuteness!
I peed I just laughed so hard! This is the cutest most original baby hat I’ve seen in a long time! You can bet your sweet patootie I’ll be trying this one out!
Free pattern on Googiemomma.blogspot.com! How nice is that?
Scruffy Looking Nerf Herders Rejoice!
I finished it, buns and all! I think it turned pretty well and the buns don’t weight an epic ton like the first go round I did while experimenting with knots and glue trying to keep those babies together. Pretty damn proud of myself. It’s the little victories that feel the best.
Nom nom nom!
There’s Cookie Monster hats and there is THIS Cookie Monster hat! Mother of God! I wish I had the pattern!!!!

ARGH! This is the 3rd attempt with a Princess Leia hat which appears easy enough but there are a few things that came up I have to grouse about.
The buns. The damn dirty buns.
First, it takes forever to get the thickness of yarn you need to make the braids stand out enough. I finally worked out a system that doesn’t take too long to get the length and amount I need (PS: It takes a LOT of yarn) but how do you keep them together without tying huge, ugly, giant knots in the end???
The solution was sooooo f-ing obvious. No knots required. Just tie the same colored string around the end and add a dot of Elmers Super Hold Glue so it hold steady. NO ONE TELLS YOU THIS ONLINE THOUGH! NO ONE!
Seriously could have saved myself massive tears on that fiasco. Nut hey, I did it with no pattern. Just winging it off pics I’ve seen. Truthfully you don’t really need a pattern. It’s a beanie with buns…but the buns…that’s where they get ya.
