Fandom Knit

I posted a chart for knitting the "Hawaii Five-O" writing sideways this time (for a scarf etc.), along with instructions for making a simple poncho with it, here in my lj.

I've knitted a Hawaii Five-O pillow - photo and chart here.

Hi everyone,


as the community's mod I have to apologize for being slow at reacting to recent spam posts in the comm. Also wanted to let you know that due to the latest ongoing slew of spam I've temporarily switched the comm to moderated posting. I'll try to let proper entries through as fast as possible, but feel free to poke me via lj message if it's taking too long for your post to show up.


And to add some knitterly content to this entry, here's a rec: KnitHacker is a great site that showcases inspiring and sometimes strange knitting designs, fannish and otherwise. :)

I'm experimenting with patterns for Kindle. I just thought I'd pass on the link to my first one. Hope people enjoy! This one was modeled off a modified sock I saw on Make It or Break It, while babysitting.

I made a Metalocalypse Scarf. It is filled with zazz. Also yarn.



( More pictures, and some charts if anyone wants to try making their own... )

Hello~ I'm knitting a my first scarf for Netherlands (from Hetalia) for my brother and I'm having a mini crisis with the outcome of my rows.

First of all, as background, I'm knitting it vertically, for one. But this way I only have to switch colors four times instead of a billion. XD These are my dimensions:

5 stripes; blue, white, blue, white, blue. 294 stitches per row (7 ft). 8 rows per stripe.

I'm using 2, 19", size 9 circulars and garter stitching. The yarn is Vanna's Choice.

So. The reason I'm freaking out is because I just finished what I assumed to be 8 rows on my second color (white), but the yarn finished on the other side. Here are some pictures to illustrate:

( Pictures. )

So can anyone tell me if I have indeed stitched 8 rows of each? Is it normal for the yarn to end on a different end? I'm I freaking out over nothing?? HELP.

EDIT: Thank you!! I counted the CO with my rows. orz I'm taking a row out so that it'll be even. c: Thank you again~~

When I first watched the Scott Pilgrim movie, I said that I might have to make Knives' scarf. And I finally got round to doing it.

Hi everyone,
I'm a lurker, crafter, and graduate student studying fandom crafting for my masters thesis, and I'm doing a short informal questionnaire about fan craft over at my journal. If anyone happens to be interested and wants to answer a few questions, I'd really appreciate it!

You can find the questionnaire here.

( And so this isn't just a plea for help )

I've tried to turn the watcher symbol from the Highlander tv series into a pattern for stitching on knitted fabric - pictures, the stitching graph and instructions for the wristlets I stitched it on can be found here in my lj.

I've attempted to make knitted handwarmers with the IDIC stitched on them - a picture and my stitching/knitting graph can be found here in my LJ.
