Blooming Deer!

I can't work on him. I ran out of yarn. It's sad. Hopefully, more Lamb's Pride will arrive from Nebraska ASAP.  I'm ITCHING to work on him! I can't waste this enthusiasm!

I have the three other hooves ready and waiting to have live stitches picked back up and for legs to be knitted.  I wish I could start on the antlers, but I'm afraid to before I felt him, since the antlers won't be felted.  I have a rough idea of how I am going to make the cherry blossoms, but again, waiting for yarn.

Waiting waiting waiting.

But it's not like I don't have plenty of other things to work on in the meantime.

Resistance Against Baby Things is Futile

My husband and I devour television shows on DVD. Right now we're working on the third and final season of Veronica Mars, but not too long ago we finished Season 3 of Star Trek: the Next Generation. I grew up on TNG. My parents had Starfleet uniforms, and my twin brothers dressed as borg one year for Halloween. (I don't know how I dodged the cosplay bullet, but I did. I didn't really mean to. That's dumb luck for you.)

So when I saw this picture in the final episode of the season ("The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1"), I immediately wanted to figure out how to knit it. But I think it might just be one of those things I do just to sock it away for any future (and I mean fuuuuuture) children-of-my-own.

It's definitely got to have earflaps and some sort of snap beneath the chin, and the tubing can be done with i-cord. The "brim", I'm not so sure about, but I'm leaning toward something like ribbing that's picked up/continued in such a way to give it a layered look.

As for the chest implant? Totally something you can button on a shirt and then hook pacifiers to. Clearly. Isn't that what all borg babies do?
