Mmm, wool!

Today I got my package of 400 grams of wool. I'm not sure how I'm going to spinn it, and what to do with it, except the moorit wool which I might turn into a pair of mittens together with some alpaca.


This is the massam wool, and it's kind of coarse so this will not be a shawl or something like that. Maybe socks? Mittens with a softer inside?


This is a hand painted BFL, the color is called "Fire" and it seems very fitting. This will probably be a soft, single ply yarn made into a scarf or a hat, probably together with another yarn to soften up the color.



A soft reddish brown shetland wool that I just started to spin, and this will be a 2-ply yarn, made into a pair of mittens. I can probably spin another 25 grams today, and maybe ply it... It will probably be a 200m/100gr yarn, but I'm not sure what will happen with it as I ply it.



And the last one! Black, soft merino that might be turned into a soft hat or something, but since it's winter soon it might as well be a shawl/scarf.

Space Dogs and Exotic Dancers

The Exotic Dancer is finished; now I only need to frame her, and maybe make a text with the mass and volume info for the Dancers.


I also made a horrible Space Dog for my nephew; he's kindergarten is having some kind of space-themed party tomorrow. He's gonna be a two headed alien. With a dog. A silver dog of doom.

Exotic!

I made a pattern for a tiny Exotic Dancer since I found some really cheap thread today in town. Don't know about the red bikini, but I didn't have much to choose from, to bad I didn't buy some black thread.


Duffman2506 > nice blog!
I found a fan in Menri local yesterday :D

Thanny

Ops. I just started to make myself a Thanatos. I'm doing this a bit different, I will only use one kind of fabric and more enhanced embroidery. A teal color this time, but it will look awesome and a bit more cartoonish. I think the ship will get a small pocket for drones as well.

Oh Noes!

"Word on the street is, that PL only wants to get vulnevias new ship.

PL: We are PL, surrender the plush-domior else!"

That's okay since I have a very nice army behind me. My nephews Spiderman, Chtulhu and a Screaming Monkey. It can scream really loud, trust me.

I'm gonna start planning for the next ship I going to make. Already got a pattern for a Thanatos, and I think it will be a fast project. And flat.

It's finally done!!

Engine done. It came out a bit different that I wanted it to, but it works. I'm very proud of myself.



And it's finally done. If I had a bottle of champagne I'd pop it open and drink it all while hugging my Domi :D I know there's a thread hanging on to the Domi, i just forgot to cut it. And I'm to exhausted to care.

Now I'm gonna make dinner and compose a letter to CCP.

Pinewood

Not an EVE-craft, but soemthing I've been hiding in my stash. Awesome screen print.

My love , my love, my love, my love
You love my domi lumps,
My hump, my hump, my hump),
My humps they got you

The Domi's got a hump! Don't know if I'm able to do the engines today, it's getting late and... yeah, it's getting late. Also I'm trying to watch Poirot on the telly, and I should eat something.

Sideshot + little nephew. He's having a realy serious convo with someone.

Almost done!

The front is done, and I've only got to do the engines and embroid some lines and then I'm done. I'm thinking of making five small pockets so the Domi kan carry around five tiny drones.


The drones are realy tiny, but it's just for the lolos. Maybe I'll attach them to the ship with tiny strings so they don't get lost.

Oh well, back to the telly and HIMYM.
Over and out.

I worked a bit on the domi yesterday and it turned out alright I think. The only thing left is the front and some more lines. After that it's finished. Awesome!

Tick Tock

I have been putting this project on the shelf for a while now, since I had some trouble with it and I started to knit 2 cardigans instead.

The good news is that I've started working on the Domi again, and hopefully I'll finish it today. I'm also gonna try do make a baby domi that I can fit to a key chain, but that's not prio #1 right now.

Pics later!

Oh right. I've been in contact with CCP since I want to sell some domis later on, and the sweet CCP Shadow gave me an adress to a lady who can give better answeres about selling my items on ebay or etsy for example. I just have to compose a letter about some kind of business plan I guess. If I get a 'yes' I will probably start an auction on ebay to see how much the EVE players would pay for a Dominix + 5 drones.

The left side is almost done, more work is needed on the front and the top. I know that the sidepanel on the real Domi isn't bulky, but I wanted some stuffing, in my eyes it looks better that way.

That's all for today, I'm restless and i need to move my body or I will start flapping my arms and run on walls.

Done for the night

The "wheels" are almost done, need to put on a few blue dots around the black lines. I also made something at the bottom of the Domi since it looked wierd without it and sine the Domi has something there. Erh.


The real Domi also has a small little man on it's belly, and I tried to replicate it, but it looks more emo than a silly homer figure. I will not change it though, I like it. This is my emo-domi.

It's late so I will not work on it anymore tonight, but I'll jump it tomorrow with needles and scissors, threads and fabrics!

Making progress

It doesn't look like much of a progress, but it's some progress at least. At the moment I'm stitching the top piece to the body, and I wil be stuffing it a bit on the 'back' of the ship.
The bigger grey iece will get some stiching in black and light blue to to enhance some lines and lights. I almost wish I had some tiny glas beads for lights, but that would be too much work I think.



This is the Domi after some stuffing. Personally I think it looks rather awesome.

Space whale coming up!

This is the main body for the Dominix. It wasn't that hard to make, except the big lumb in the front. I guess I should have stuffed it a bit more, but I got tired of it, and I was helping a corpmate with a cyno. The stupid alt don't have a good overview; it sees pilots with blue standing in space and that's not very good when I'm stuck in a cyno frigate. One of the blue had been naughty so he was showing up red.... The cyno alt is using my mission alt's OV so that's why it's a bit messed up.

Back to the Domi. I do not think I will continue working of it tonight; it's getting late and if I start something now I wont be able to stop so I'll start tomorrow.
I think I'm gonna use pattern paper and trace on it, cut the fabric and stitch the fabric to the body. After that I'm looking forward to several hours of stitching lines and "lights" on it.

Running missions with the alt, or start working on an Ishtar pattern...?

That's the layout for my Dominix, and I'm gonna try to make it look almost just like that. It will be interesting to see how I will assembly it; if I will have the sides and the top in one piece, or if I will have three peices (side, side and the middle stripe).
I know that the real Domi isn't as fat as this, but a fat Domi is better as a pillow than a thin one.

The wonderful fabrics! We have the green and grey for my Ishtars, adn the 2 gold, faux leather fabrics for the Avatar. I'm gonna try to make it HUGE, but we'll see how much filling I have left after the Domi and the Ishtars. It there's no left there's no catastrophe, it's only 29 sek a bag.

Ogre Prototype

Question: What do you do when you're bored and have nothing to do?
Answer: You knit your own Ogre.

It may look like a strange, mutated mouse, but it's not. It's a heavy Attack Drone, and though it may look cuddle it isn't really.

I do not know which yarn I used for it, but it might be some kind of mixture of wool and acrylic. Luckily I had two colours simulare to the Ogre's real colours (at least the tech 1 version), and I had some spare black DMC for making details.

It kind of looks like a skull with the dots and something that looks likes smile, and two pigtails on top of it's head.
Over and all it was fun to knit it, although I might make a pattern next time I knit one (if CCP are Ok with it, I might start selling drones for ISK). A pattern make it so much easier to keep track of the decreases and increases.

My next victim will be the Dominix, one of my favourite Battleships in EVE. It will be in shape of a pillow, probably 35 x 25 cm (14 x 10 inches). I need some more stuffing for it though, so I might head in to town and restock a bit. Chanses are that I'll buy some fabric as well, since I kind of promised to make an Avatar and an Ishtar (also one of my favourite ships).

Cheerio!
