And I need opinions. For those of you familiar with Pokemon, how close does this beanie look to a Pokeball?
I'm not sure if I like how the "button" came out. (It's duplicate stitch, so I can totally rip this out and redo if necessary.)
And I'm still working on my sister-in-law's birthday gift (which is now three months late). Remember?
The other day I was on Pinterest, and I stumbled across a video of someone crocheting this. Hooray! I get to see if I'm doing it right. And then...
And then I noticed that it was in French.
Alas.
Ah well. I can still watch it. All 30 minutes of it.
One of these days.
Here's the video (more so I can locate it later when I'm ready to watch it):
Now I've got *mumblemumble* more beanies to knit. Anyone see any cute beanie patterns? I'm in the market, so to speak.
I can't really claim to be familiar with Pokemon, but I thought that might have been a Pokemon-style hat when I first saw the picture (and before I read your question).
ReplyDeleteIf my French was better, I would offer to translate the video for you. I do have a French friend, though, so let me know if you get desperate for a translation. :)
Happy New Year!
I'll have to defer to a Pokeman expert on how close you've come in your design, but I like what you've done.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR. Here's to no dropped stitches in 2018.
Yeah. Alas, I am not a Pokemon expert either.
DeleteHappy New Year Liz - and good luck with the knitting and projects, let alone kids! Take care - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'm useless regarding your questions, but I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI hope you get some feedback on the Pokémon as I have no clue. I think the pillow you are creating is excellent in my humble opinion. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a fail then as it's a poncho and not a pillow. Ah well.
DeleteThanks anyway. I may have to find a Pokemon group of some sort to critique it.
Or...her gift is nine months early? Anyway, I think the pokeball looks good. It looks nice and soft, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Pokemon to me!! Love that Poncho. I'll bet you are spending your New Year's Day knitting....Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks. And alas, no. I'm spending today writing up a pattern and submitting it. Wish me luck :)
DeleteI'm going to be a lot of help (not). Know nothing about Pokemon and listening to the French of the video was relaxing but - I don't speak it. Happy New Year, though, Liz! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI took French in school, but I only remember snippets. We'll see how well I do...
DeleteI love how Youtube can bring us together, so to speak. How interesting that you found a vid of the poncho being made, but in French!
ReplyDeleteI know nothing of Pokemon, sadly.
Happy New Year from up North! Bea
Yeah, it was the oddest thing to stumble upon.
DeleteThe other day I got a catalog in mail and it had pattern for poncho I liked. But the sad thing or truth in matter of things. I got enough projects going, and don't need to add anymore...coffee is on
ReplyDeleteDon't think of it as being behind. Think of it as prolonging the Christmas joy. January is such a miserable month, it might be nice for people to get some of their Christmas gifts in January.
ReplyDelete*cough, cough* February *cough, cough*
DeleteYour pokeball beanie looks perfect to me!!! Hubby and his friend are big fans of it so it looks great :)
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you. An expert. I needed someone familiar to give me the go ahead. Again, thank you.
DeleteLooks like Pokemon to me. Love the poncho. It looks like a real challenge. Happy new year Liz.
ReplyDeleteIt's not too bad. A fairly novice crocheter could probably handle it. I mean, if I can do it...
DeleteOh day I saw pictures for a cute pattern and it was in Russian or something and google translate did not help matters.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, there was a chart for the poncho. Charts translate into any language :) (Do you work from charts? I love them.)
DeleteNot a Pokémon fan, but it looks good to me?
ReplyDeleteGuess it's time to learn French? ;)
Turns out I know enough. I can count in French. And I could see pretty much what she was doing.
DeleteWow that's really cool looking, Liz!
