Spider-Man (Miles Morales) Inspired Convertible Beanie

The Miles Morales version of Spider-Man...

I made this beanie over a month ago, just didn't get around to posting the photos on this blog until now.  This is just another version of the Spider-Man Inspired Convertible Beanie I made here. Yes, you can see through the eye mask as  well.

Pretty Kinda Dirty Face

Lately, all I have been listening to is The 1975. I actually saw them live back in October when they came to New York, but I want to post a proper blog entry about that so I am not going to talk about that now. This post will be about a beanie I knitted (about 3 weeks ago) that was inspired by one of their songs, "Robbers."

Did I mention that I got to meet the band members? No? Well, that's because I am saving that for another blog entry. LOL.

If you haven't checked them out, please do so.

"Robbers"

"Chocolate"

I'll be seeing them again in December. :)

Thor Beanie (Knit and Crochet)

 

I actually started (and almost finished) this around the time I made the Loki Beanie. But before I could sew the wings on to the beanie, I misplaced the beanie. Seeing the Thor 2 movie trailer, I was motivated to work on this project again, and I decided to just start from scratch. The beanie and the wings were inspired by/based on several photos I've seen on the internet.

The beanie was knitted, using a light (heather) gray yarn. The "silver" yarn I found was just not thick enough to my liking. I crocheted the wings using white yarn, and hand sewn it to the beanie.

(Sorry for the low quality photos. I was too lazy -and too excited- to take decent ones...)

Thor v. Loki? I have a soft spot for "bad" boys, so Team Loki all the way! (Also, because I find Tom Hiddleston hot!)

UPDATE: November 06, 2013

The Thor and Loki beanies are now available for sale at www.charmed.etsy.com. :)

We got spirit. Yes, we do!

My co-worker ordered these beanies from me. They were inspired by the University of New Hampshire's Wildcat mascot. I used the school colors, which are gray and blue, and put cat ears on them. She gave them as Christmas gifts to a couple of people who attend the school. According to her, they loved the beanies. :)

Maybe I should make more animal inspired beanies...?  Maybe, but right now I am currently working on another project. I am super excited about this... Hopefully, it'll turn out the way I want it to..

Spider-Man Convertible Beanie

I actually made this beanie about a month ago for my sister. She was attending one of her best friends' son's birthday party, and she wore this as her costume. I was too busy with holiday orders so I couldn't really make this available in my online store until now...

And yes, you can see through the eye mask. :)

And I know I should have taken the pictures with my camera instead of my phone but I got lazy. :/

Maybe in a couple of days...

Loki Beanie

After watching Thor, I had fallen in love with Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Then, after falling in love with him some more in The Avengers, I have been inspired to make a Loki beanie. Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I couldn't really work on it until the last few days. After much trial and error (with the horns), this is my finished product.

I looked up images of Loki online and found various versions of his headpiece. This is the one I chose to make. I could've made the whole thing gold including the beanie part, but I thought that would just look too blah. I chose not to make the horns too long because I wanted the beanie to be wearable. :)

So... with my husband and family's insistence, I had relaunched my online store:

www.charmed.etsy.com

For the last couple of weeks, I've been busy filling orders, trying to get it to my customers in time for the holidays.  I would usually do this after I get home from my full time job, which means I am sleep deprived! I have averaged about 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night!  Thank God I have a very supportive husband. :)

Anyway, I should really get back to my orders... Maybe I'll take a break later and blog again. :)

So I went to see "The Three Musketeers" a couple of weekends ago with the husband, my siblings, and friends... Orlando Bloom is so effin' dreamy! A few years back in my old blog (Hello my fellow Xanga heads!), I used to talk about how in love (obsessed?) I was with Orlando Bloom.  It got so bad and I knew that I had to stop... So I quit cold turkey.  I made a conscious effort to stop watching his movies.  I would change the channel if one of his movies happen to be on.  And I was successful... or so I thought...

I love him... *Sigh*

What do I need to do to get over this crush?
