Blizzcon craft, ahoy!

A new thing emerges! Guh, it’s been forever since I’ve made anything at all. But now I’m moved in, unpacked until I get shelves, and things are more or less settled.
So what is it? Hint: I’ve abandoned making a costume for blizzcon. Sadface, but yay to not have the dual pressures of having [...]

Page one of Blizzcon pics!

Hooray!  The murloc hats are front and center—albeit grainy and dark—of page 1 for the Blizzcon 08 pics Blizzard posted March 26.

Sidenote: since I was the magic ticket-clicker to get our tix and a notorious typist, Bigpoppie’s ticket name was very nearly Bigpoopie.

Switching from Alliance to Horde

There is no way to do this in-game, but I’ve all but abandoned poor li’l ol Nimb the Night Elf in favor of big clompin’ Gnim the Tauren.  Yes, they’re both druids!  I’m not uncivilized, sir.
To reflect my hordey ways, I’ve updated my gravatar almost everywhere I can think to do so, thus:

Hat trick? Why yes. Yes, I did.

I forgot to post my hat trick from January!

Started way back in November based on Shazza’s Muse Hat, a funky beaded variation of my own.  Unblocked, blah blah.  I think I made it too big, but oh well.  It’s pink and sparkly. I’ll deal.  For me!
Horned hat. For a D&D friend.
Started long, long ago [...]

It’s the fi-nal mur-loc!

Know what comes after the final murloc (duh na nuh-NUH!)? And no, it’s not the end of the countdown.
Next comes a pattern!

Wrath of the Lich King preflight check

1) Pre-ordered game.  Check.  I broke down and decided to go to the big event.  It’s unique.  It’s gonna be mobbed but at least my friends will be there.  It’s one of those experiences you’re “richer” for later.  The clerks were hassling us there tonight, but they said they were just sooooo tired of answering [...]

They cannot win. Here, the penultimate murloc hat lies slain, less his eyes, spikes, teeth, and hands. *ahem* So, here, the penultimate murloc hat _body_ lies slain…

Re: blog feature, bah! Re: almost done with this murloc: yay!
p.s. no, not knitting at work.  Well, unless you count lunch.  Then yes.  And taking a picture at my desk, then also yes.  But the rest, no!  No, I say!  I can do all this stuff from my super [...]

Dead (OT–> MT *flex*), dead, 8 of 9 on the needles, 283 unread (down from 984).
I’m almost caught up with my life since moving 2 weekends ago. Whew.

Murlocs cometh

Be afraid. This weekend I’m devoting to 1) finishing Jeff’s murloc FINALLY, then 2) starting on more murloc hats (I found a whole ‘nother base hat while I was packing for the move), and finally 3) writing out a pattern per many requests (yay!).  Oh and drinking.  Heavily.  Nat Pagle heavily.
I am going to [...]
