Hello! I...made a K-9. I built him on a radio controlled toy car, so he actually moves, if he's on smooth pavement. He's mostly cardboard, foam, paint, spare bits of metal, and copious amounts of sweat, blood, and tears. Oh, and way too much of my time. XD But anyway, I'm rather proud, and thought some of you guys might be interested. Have a very geeky day!

Just a few more sketches from the Santa Ana Zoo sketch day. The monkeys rarely stopped moving, which made them hard to draw. I was in complete envy and awe of my friend Kim's drawings. She worked in animation for years for Disney and really captured the way the Gibbons swung around, back, front and sides.

You can see some of her lovely work here.

Had sajex's party yesterday. We missed Cora's, which made me really sad, but we were making a sweet cake. Pictures of that later.

Saw the Princess and the Frog, which was good. It wasn't the Lion King, or Beauty and the Beast, but it was good. ( thar be spoilers. )

And I also have to go to the library!!

~~X~~

Okay, pretty much packed now, checked in to my flight, my little Christmas tree out... Okay. I think I'm good for now. :D

Do your hands hurt after crocheting for a while? my middle finger on my left hand (im a righty) is so sore..and my hands get so stiff while crocheting that the only thing that makes them feel better is popping my knuckles. Oh and both of my thumbs skin are sore :( any advice?

Ive also noticed a lot of free pattern hubs (lion brand yarn, ravelry..etc)...which ones do yall use the most?

 So I'm looking for a pattern for a gecko or a rhino. I can't afford to buy one, so I was wondering if anybody has one? I've looked online quite extensively and not found one I really like for free. (It's a gift for a friend of mine that really doesn't like the goofy anthropomorphized animals with clothes kind of thing, or really goofy anything, so that restricts my searches more than anything.) Also this would be the second thing I've ever done at all, and the first thing I've ever done without a more experience crocheter watching my every stitch. x.x; If I was more experienced I'd feel more comfortable just making it up as I went along, but I don't even yet have much confidence just in the doing stitches right. And my crochet goddess is in another state until January, so.. I really like the look of this gecko. I think he'd like it a lot. Also, there's the rhino that I think he'd think is adorable. Does anybody have any patterns, or know any websites that would have patterns, that look similar to either of these? Lizard/geckos and rhinos are his favorite animals, so I'm trying to find those. Help? j-j
