Inspiration: Procrastiknitting

I finished my BIG SECRET PROJECT the other day (I’ve got it blocking right now, and I keep checking on it every couple hours… it continues to be damp, much to my chagrin).

I’ve got two other big projects waiting in the queue, so I really should get straight to work on them.  Buuuuut…..

I don’t wanna.

I just want to make something fun and cute and silly.  (And, since I really should be working on other projects, something small.)

So, let’s look at some little-bitty cute projects that I could work on while totally not procrastinating!

I love this teeny tiny kitty.  I don’t know what I’d do with him, but I think I might need to make him.

Inspiration: Fast Projects

I’ve been so busy- I have a half-dozen patterns in various levels of done-ness and with various deadlines (some of which are coming up faster than I would like).

So, with all these deadlines, my knitting has become a bit of a chore.  (Which is lame.  I want knitting to be fun.  Obviously.)

What can I do to make knitting more fun?  Quick, little, projects I can do in an hour or two with a couple dozen yards of yarn.   Want to join me?

These bunnies are so adorable and would be a great way of using up little bits of leftover yarn.  Look at their tiny faces!

These little gnomies are so super fun.  (I’ve actually made a few for friends with matching baby sweaters for fantastic new-baby presents.)

I don’t need this crown, but I think I might need this crown.

Look at these fantastic little fish!  How amazing would a  school of these be hanging from a mobile?
