Capricorn the Frankenknit



I've been trying really hard to put pictures of this on Ravelry, but neither it nor photobucket seem to be terribly inclined to agree with me at the moment.
These are pictures of the 'long awaited' Capricorn Knit, of which I'm rather proud. I don't have pictures of the white lion I made for his Grandmother, but at some point I'll bring the camera over and see if I can get a photoshoot done.

He's knit with small needles out of some of KnitPix yarn, and his most complicated peice is his tail fin, which is one piece. Mostly he's straight 'Fuzzy Lamb' from Fuzzy Mitten Designs, but his horns and from the 'waist' down he's all franken-knit.

Aquatica

So the Capricorn is mostly finished. I need to make horn nubs and a tail fin, but Mini Monster seems enormously taken with it as is. Congrats Knitpicks, he approves of your palate yarn! He and his unfinished capricorn are currently in his swing having a grand old time while I write. It's been a busy day, we went out shopping to get stuff for him at BJ's, and also to get mothers day goodies for his Grandmothers. We settled on earrings and Panera Gift Cards.

I know half of what I'm getting, but not the other half. Half of it is a new "Batman" babydoll t-shirt. My old one wore out, so I'm getting a Batman-Beyond one. I'm seriously looking forward to it getting here.

I also was loaned the DVD's for the A&E series for Horratio Hornblower.

This was classic geek time for me. My sister and I enjoyed listening to my parents read us the Hornblower Novels, and the series was also fun. I'm enjoying geeking to them all over again.
