my better half...

In other amazing art news... a special shout out to Mr. Greenstarstudio, for his 2nd place win in the highly competitive and highly bizarre Baltimore City Paper's 8th Annual Comics Contest.

he won a $100 gift certificate to a wine shop... which is hilarious because if asked what specialty store we'd be least likely to ever use a gift certificate for, i think wine shop would place second after hunting store.... and even at a hunting store we'd probably be able to find something we could re-purpose.

but it's not about the prize; it's about his 2nd time in the coveted number two spot, and his 3rd time in print in the city paper!

want to see some more?

yay AJ!

COASTERS!!!!

Thank you all for playing along, and thank you for all your awesome guesses... (and GREAT ideas for new stuff to make!).
CheddarFish guessed it correctly, so she'll be getting a free coaster sent her way, post haste.

In the meantime, if you'd like a set of FOUR knitimal coasters, you can find them here. I'll be adding more sets to the shop over the next few days. If you want a custom set, in colors to match your decor, let me know!

xo, danamarie

The big reveal...

... Will be postponed til tomorrow (due to me forgetting that today was the 2nd and not the 1st and also due to extreme sleepiness).

Last chance to get your guesses in!

Knitimal medical exam

Take 2 toddlers.
Add one "little Md" kit.
And a very loved knitimal and you get this...

During the course of Froogoat's exam he had his blood pressur taken, his heart listened to, his eyes checked, 4 shots, 2 bandaids and something called "mouth medicine shots". He also had a splinter (one of those plastic wires they put price tags on clothes with).

When his temperature was taken he was 45-E21 degrees.

Oh! A new patient has been brought in... brb

knitimal in the celluloid (sorta)

somethings - test reel from Datamouth on Vimeo.

don't you just love happy, inspiring, gleeful things? with good music? and soft, sweet plush?

yeah, me too.

i like it even more when people i knew a million years ago, send me emails with amazing collaborations of goodness in them.
my good buddy, Christian (who was one of only a very small handful of people i actually LIKED in high school), adopted a Knitimal from me some time back. The knitimal's name is Okechobee.... this is what Christian did with him.

ok, now the challenge is out there--- what have YOU done with YOUR knitimals?
