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:

Ross had these clutch purses for only $4, so naturally I snagged ’em. Here’s what I did with them:

Clutches are way to small for me, (did I mention I also spent $150 on 4 Harajuku Lovers purses while I was there?) so if anyone wants these, let me know. I’ll swap or take $$ (unless you’re family. all i need is your address). First come first serve.

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!

Rusted Root

September 5, 2007 Marissa Rhoades 2 Comments

I finished my Rusted Root last month, and am just now coming around to posting it. I’m really dissapointed because it’s too small. I love the pattern. I love the yarn. I love it it would’ve fit on me. I will definitely be making another as soon as I can.
