Wonder Twin Knit Powers ACTIVATE

I am in a cosy knitting FRENZY! And I shall share my patterns with you!

DS
Body -cast on 40 stiches and knit for 10.5 inches.
sides - cast on 10 and knit for 3 inches (roughly 20 rows).
Button loops - make a crochet chain to length and sew onto underside of flap with loops hanging out. Choose buttons to your preference and attach to appropriate location.
I also did some light blue embroiders to match my loops and buttons. 

iPod cosy
Cast on 33 stiches and knit for 4.75inches (roughly - I was using 6 colours at 5 rows with each colour). Cast off and fold and half and sew up the seam. Use a darning needle and yarn to create a drawstring. I used a star bead to use to close it.

I also attached another star at the bottom. 

Cosy for my 13in laptop. Here is the pattern I made. I used different colours for each thing to add some uniqueness and fun to the pattern you can of course use the same colour.

Using size 8 needles and worsted weight yarn

Knit two rectangles of each of these-
1x9 (One yellow and one Silver) Cast on 10 stitches (sides)
13x9 (I am making them different colours. Red and Blue) Cast on 75 stitches (front and back)

Knit one rectangle of each of these-
13x1 (teal) cast on 75 stitches (bottom)
13x6 (Purple) Cast on 75 stitches (top flap - leave button holes on far sides.)
4.5x9 (white) cast on 25 stitches (flap center detail, leave button hole.)

I don't know how many rows it works out to yet, I just knit and measure as I go.

When complete assemble the pieces.
Center pieces - purple to red, blue to teal, teal to blue.
Sides - yellow left and silver right.
Attach the white along the purple/red seam and attach firmly to the purple using a darning needle and white yarn.

Use one large button for the center (white) and attach to appropriate location. Use two smaller buttons on the right and left (purple)

My buttons were light blue (small) and green (big).

I don't have any pictures yet cause the laptop one isn't started, it took a while to get the pattern correct.

Videos - incoming - maybe

Still haven't figured out how to post videos. Might have to just link to Youtube whenever I do one. I wish Ty had a cam we could vlog back and forth!


EDIT: VIDEO UP

Cause I'm kinda a Writer

Writing…

You know most times people see that word they groan.

‘Why did my English teacher assign this paper?’

‘Why do I have to write a story about my summer?’

My question? Why not?

You remember writing about your summer way back in grade one right? How did you feel? Was it a great story of all that you experienced? Was is a short story because you stayed home and gamed all day?

Honestly that was me, staying home, and gaming. Until my grade 11 year, I was not a fan of writing, maybe a sudden spurt of inspiration, but no real drive to get words to paper and dive into a make believe world where I was in control. I’d lost it, but thanks to my teacher, I was drawn back into it.

Now look at me, I can seem to stop, and it’s one of the things no one really knows about me. Though I want to keep it that way, I won’t be able to keep this secret for long. Meh, I don’t care much for that anymore.

So for all of you want to be writers out there, but you’re too scared to do anything with it, just give it a try, you never quite know what you’ll produce. Sure it won’t be a bestselling novel, but it will be yours and that’s worth writing for in the first place!

Want to get started?

What’s keeping you?

www.fanfiction.net or www.deviantart.com or www.fictionpress.net

Three sites with full communities of support! You’ll be getting praise from people you don’t even know, and that’s the next best thing to writing a novel if you ask me.

Give yourself a five minute free-write, about the first thing that pops into your head. Pick some ideas out of that list and build a story around it. Maybe it’s a memory, maybe it’s an action, maybe is a fan based interpretation of your favorite game!

Writing lets ‘disappear’ from your life as you describe your characters.

I’m waiting for your first chapter!
