Basketweave Crocheted Social Media Icons

Posted by Lydia Lee on Mar 28, 2013

I hold a special place in my heart for crochet because that was what I first learned to do. Knitting came much later. The Knitted Social Media Icons were so popular that I made the equivalent in the Basketweave Crocheted Social Media Icons! If your site is strictly about crochet art, that’s what you’d prefer, right? There are only a few right now, but I’ll... Continue Reading

Slouchy Hat & Gaiter Set

Posted by Lydia Lee on Jan 14, 2013

I suppose I’ll come up with some fancy names for future creations, but for now, What You Read Is What You Get! And you can buy the pattern for $7.95 (below). SQUEEEEE!!! As you can see, this was a very sophisticated photoshoot. Lots of time and care went into it. Costly location… Sensitive model… (Prima donna quite frankly–*eye roll*) The style is...

The Jesus Gnome

Posted by Lydia Lee on Dec 24, 2012

… As opposed to just “Jesus Gnome”. Because that’s been done [here]. Nobody messes with The Jesus! I know what you’re thinking. ‘How does she do it!?’ I know. I’m awesome. Also, ‘What is the black growth on The Jesus’ hand?’ Let’s take a closer look, shall we? It’s The Jesus’ bowling brace,... Continue Reading

Maude Gnome

Posted by Lydia Lee on Dec 15, 2012

Well, I have managed to make knitting R-rated. Maude Gnome is funnier naked, but because I didn’t want to hit anyone with blatant nudity (should I even care??–it’s a gnome!!), I give you the censored version that you can select for the uncensored version (lol). Obviously, this is Maude meeting Jeffrey for the first time in her studio: knee-high black boots,... Continue Reading

Walter Sobchak Gnome

Posted by Lydia Lee on Dec 13, 2012

I love The Dude. He’s casual, cool, loves CCR and medicates with Caucasians to keep his mind, you know, uh.. limber. But Walter Sobchak is by far my favorite Big Lebowski character. A lot of love went into Walter so, behold The Walter Sobchak Gnome! I pulled the bowling ball color from The Big Lebowski 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Movie and Bonus Material DVD set. I...
