Oh yeah, those were all over Deadster. I remember tons of people making them.
Very nice!! Much nicer than what my google was turning up ( which was almost completely voodoo dolls Oh My!)
I could see doing smaller needle felted versions!
So: elfish ears & fairy wings & fanciful hair-like things.
I believe the pattern belonged to a specific member of Deadster. She would let folks use it for the swaps. So everyone used the same pattern but got to customize it.
Ghilie made the patterns. She was incredibly generous with her help too. She had ALS, it was getting pretty bad before C-ster closed. Someone has kept her blog going.
Yes, the deal was that she’d send anyone the pattern, and in exchange you had to post anything you made from it on the site.
The patterns are all on her blog still, & instructions. I’m going to make some elf cupcake dolls for a lady I met in the mall. There’s a bunny version too, frikken adorable. I need some ultrasuede for their bodies, I haven’t had any of that in years.
Doeskin is also excellent for use in making these dolls. There are some pretty nice faux suedes and faux doeskin that are less costly and a lot easier to use. Joann’s sells microsuedes as well.
Sadly, Joann’s is not in Canada
The good news is that you have Ketchup Chips.
Nanaimo bars, poutine, buttertarts, beavertails, so many chocolate bars & chip flavours. We got the primo snack foods DOWN, for sure
Pringles makes a Ketchup Chip (available at Walmart) - just bought some yesterday for my son who loves them!
Whaaaaat? Okay now I have to see if any stores by me carries it.
Does anyone need a small fixed length circular needle? I got these for knitting 2 at a time socks but finally admitted that I am not a sock knitter. Looks like I have the following
Sizes
- 0 (2.0mm)
- 1 (2.25mm)
- 1 (2.5mm)
- 2 (2.75mm)
- 2 (3.0mm)
- 3 (3.25mm)
Lengths
- 24” x 2 (3 in the size 3.25mm)
- 32” (only 3.0mm)
If only I knew which makes what… I will make socks eventually. I just haven’t a clue how yet.
My grabby hands didnt even look closely and just wanted to hip-check people like brides-to-be at an old Filene’s basement gown sale lol
well let me know which one(s) you’d like! They’re not doing anyone any good sitting in my closet
Very generous offer, @photojenn … now that I am doing a destash and WIP roundup, I have found multiples of needles…I don’t need more and will curb my grabby hands… lol
OMG, same, LOL.
I don’t know what I would use these for…but I’m so tempted!
I’ll look through my stuff to see if I have any already. Are you on the hunt for anything I can look for to send to you?
