Yes, it’s a uterus.

July 9, 2008 Marissa Rhoades

I’ve officially been flaked on, and it sucks! I sent an awesome package all the way to Leeds for the Rockabilly Swap on craftster.org, and I got zip from my partner. Anyway, (arrgh!) I also included a little extra surprise that I wished I had kept. My partner is trying to have a baby and wants to make a fertility shrine, so I made her a womb from knitty.com. It really gave me a hard time since I used ribbon yarn that wasn’t so forgiving. My fingers were cramped for days! He turned out pretty cute though. I called it my “Happy Uterus.”

here are some pics of the other stuff I sent:

knitty’s Quant

December 16, 2007 Marissa Rhoades 4 Comments

Here is my first FO from knitty.com’s winter issue, Quant. It’s a panta (knitted head warmer) done in an entreloc pattern. I used a %100 peruvian wool hand-dyed by a craftster named xladyluckx.
I didn’t block my Quant because I liked the texture. I hope the person I’m giving this to loves it. I’m making another one for me. Thanks for looking!

Intolerable Cruelty

I love love love this skirt! After 6 hand numbing weeks, I finished Intolerable Cruelty by Ashley Moncrief from knitty.com. It was my first clothing piece, and first time knitting in the round. It was a good learning experience for me. Here are some pics of my FO:
