Purty, huh? I love the yarn and the pattern... I think these are going to be my favorite pair of socks for a while.
I've also been playing with ShrinkyDinks a lot lately. I have no stitch markers, and I've gotten sick of using hair elastics, so I made these to fill the void. All but Shaun are still waiting on large split rings so they fit on needles larger than size 3.
I just made another set a few nights ago after being inspired by the first Shaun the Sheep marker. He's so darned cute that I found a bunch of screencaps of him, traced them, and baked up seven more markers. They're waiting on split rings (split rings at Michael's: utterly useless), which are waiting on cash, which is waiting on a band teacher in Sabinal, Texas to buy my bassoon. Tangential, eh? Here's the new Shaun-y goodness:
There may be more Wallace & Gromit characters coming soon. If I can trace Gromit knitting, that'll be the next one.

Those are so gorram cute!!!
You knew I had a weakness for wombats, didn't you?
With a butt like that, what's not to love? ;)
Those are awesome stitch markers. I had no idea they still made ShrinkyDinks. They're very cool!
Michael's has them, usually hanging above the embossing supplies in the paper section. They even have Shrinkydinks for inkjet printers! I think they're about $10 for 6 8"x10" sheets.
You know you wanna get some. ;) Make tags for your soap bars!
shrinkydinks! I am all OVER those! I think I might have to get myself some of those to make, once Christmas knitting madness is done.
Shaun is amazing! I love your Shaun stitch markers. The magic of Shrinky Dinks. What are screencaps?
"Screencap" is short for "screen capture". It's like taking a still photo of a frame of video.
Whats so bad about Michael's split rings? You could have just asked me and I could have picked some up at work this weekend. Think you need them before this coming weekend?
