The NES controller one you made for me gets a lot of positive attention at punk shows.

I made this as a Christmas present for my cousin's son. It was less work than I expected.

[Tooker]

That is made of awesome. :)

Oh, something you want to look into - conductive yarn.  Use a little in the fingertips of gloves, and they'll work with touch screens like an iPhone.

[Tomara]

I have been looking into that, actually. People have been asking us (= our craftsclub thingy) to make things like socks for iPods and other stuff related to electronics. I have yet to find a product I could actually buy and use, though.

[Tooker]

We were trying to convince a local yarn store to carry this stuff - they could even make patterns and sell them, without too much trouble.  But A) you don't live by me, and B) they totally dropped the ball, and presumably, a kitty carried it off after that.  (Heh - yarn ball joke.)

My wife found a company that actually sells what you'd need.  She says they'll sell in smaller quantities - most places that make it sell amounts like "10 tons" - and that they'll dye it.

Of course, if you were just looking to make an iPod holder, you wouldn't need that.  Just if you were making something people would touch the screen through.

I made an octopi army :D



And a pokéball keychain.

[Tomara]

This weekend I went to the saddest little comics convention in the Netherlands. I doubt there were more than 100 visitors, so there wasn't that much to do. I worked on some amigurumi and we had entertained outselves with posing them.



Blue kitty loves unfinished sheep very much.

[Tomara]

Cute, deadly creatures are deadly and cute.

[CastNuri]

I think my brain may have just imploded with cuteness. D:

Love the jelly fish and octopi!

[Tomara]

I wanted to make a little crown for the jelly fish, because that would make it a Princess Jelly fish. Sadly, I didn't have the right wire for the beads I wanted to use, so in the meantime...



I made a Kirby!

Adorable. I love the octopi and the jelly fish too.
