Broken seed socks

My last post gave me lots of suggestions on what to do next and the yarn-order has been made for the new ideas. While waiting to make something out of the ideas I try to learn some new things and made these socks using a "broken seed" technique alternating between two different yarns, in this case a solid green and an alternating grey/black.

Will be nice to have later this year =)

Looking for inspiration

I've been doing this knitting thing for about 7 months now and created over 20 patterns and learned A LOT about how to knit and increasing my overall knitting skill. The things I have knitted has mainly been my own ideas (with a few exceptions) and when I started I didn't expect to run out of ideas this fast, mostly because I didn't expect to create this much in such short time. I now need new inspiration and ideas on what to make. Please share your ideas and thoughts with me and if I like your ideas and make something of it, you'll of course be rewarded in some way.

Mainly I want ideas regarding:

1. 8-bit-stuff
2. Other gaming things
3. Other nerdy topics
4. Other stuff you would like to see knitted 

Send me the ideas on Twitter, Facebook or comment in the blog.

Pacman hat

As previously mentioned, I have a lot of yarn for Pacman-related work. Here's a simple beanie featuring the circular arcade hero, quickly made other the past days.

In other news, I've set up a shop at Etsy to complement the already existing presence on Ravelry.

Cthulhu wristband

Last friday I played some board games with my colleagues. As we were going to play Eldritch Horror, which is partly based on the story of H.P Lovecraft - Call of Cthulhu, I decided to make this wristband on that theme. It is double knitted which makes it reversible and this time I wanted to try to add an additional color (the yellow eyes) to see how that would work.

I highly recommend reading the novel about Cthulhu and play some games on that theme =)

Pacman wristband

Keeping the theme with Pacman going for another week with this simple wristband. Switched to use a smaller gauge of needles than before as I wanted the pattern to fit on a single side and previous wristbands has been a bit wide.

Currently working on some Lovecraft-related stuff for a while. Will hopefully finish them within the next week and add them to the blog.

Pacman and Blinky mittens

I know, spring is finally here (at least here in Sweden), but I can't seem to stop making mittens, hats and other winter-stuff. Also, I made a huge mistake when I bought the yarn for the Pacman and Blinky scarf so I got lots of blue and black yarn over from that project so expect more Pacman stuff in the near future.

These mittens feature the circular hero and his nemesis, but can of course swap hands or be adjusted for your favourite ghost.
