Arf!

Make a Star Wars Halloween costume for your dogs. Because seriously, pomeranians are pretty much ewoks anyway.

How to make a Paper Nike Sneaker Costume, via Craft. This costume is completely hilarious. I’m assuming I can still post Halloween costume ideas because I sure haven’t figured out what I’m going to wear, so I can imagine some of you guys might not have, either.

This Background Radiation Scarf has inspired me to do some secret knitting of my own. More on this soon.

Apparently this Cochineal Scarf is vegan, and yet it is made with silk:

The vertical threads (warp) is vegan silk. The moths are allowed to emerge from their cocoons without being boiled, which is the practice in ‘normal’ silk production.

See, this is what I don’t understand. You don’t boil cows to get milk, and yet milk is not vegan. You don’t boil chickens. This sounds like a having cake and eat it too situation. If you’re going to call something vegan, it can’t come from animals. Period.

I have so many of these Ikea magazine things, I could make a whole column of these Catch-All Shelves. Actually, that would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it? It would be very high impact.

I don’t normally discuss patterns that are not free, but these mittens are BLOWING MY EFFIN’ MIND. They are totally cool, and I am coveting them with great ferocity. Wowzers! Deep in the Forest Mittens. If you like forests, or things that are deep in them, you should knit these mittens.

Vegan Yum Yum has a good article on Food Photography for Bloggers, but considering the scale of food (small) and the scale of knitting (wouldn’t you know it’s also small!), there are lots of things us knitters could take from this.

Most of the tips in here are ones I’ve heard before, but it did tip me off to these lovely Lowel Ego lights for shooting at night, otherwise known as any time during the winter in Canada.
