crochet: Starknuts June Challenge
Meet Crookshanks.
Yesterday, the Harry Potter knit & crochet community starknuts posted a new challenge for June. I loved the idea so much, I, ehem, am done.
What?! I had a spare hour and just the right yarn so…
Crook is made with Nimoe’s Miuku The Cat pattern and Yarn Bee Cameo yarn and has a DMC scarf.
He’s a clever kitteh, but is also a very brave Gryffindor.
I added a join, ch 1 at the end of each round, which I found easiest to work with because of the fuzz factor.
Add it to your ravelry queue 
His scarf has stripes (and gave me a cramp in my right hand…)
Bottlebrush tail and slightly cocky ears. Love him!
Meeting some of the family…
Crookshanks with Merlin, who kept knocking the poor wee thing over.

A HUGE thanks to my lovely daughter, for her creative input.

Talk To Me Tuesday!
Now that I have stopped the vlogs cutting off early, my mic seems to be going out. I didn’t realize it until I’d rambled for 8+ minutes. Crap.
I also just realized for the first time that it’s been almost 13 years since my grandfather passed away. I said 11 in the video and immediately knew it wasn’t right. Dang, it doesn’t feel like that long ago.
A HUGE Happy Birthday to my Dad… not that he reads my blog…. 😛

Sewing: Turkle the Turtle
Deep in the wilds of my backyard lives the ferocious Quiltus Turtleus, called Turkle by his friends.
His markings are wholly unique and set him apart from all other Quiltus Turtleus.
A canny camera person can get quite close to Turkle, just watch out for the super massively strong jaws!
Quiltus Turtleus are known for their pointy and exceptionally cute tails.
When forced to show his belly, Turkle will display a fierce purple leopard print, frighting off predators for fear of a badly dressed…oops, this a “G” rated blog!
Ancestry of the Quiltus Turtleus, decended from the Quiltus Buttericktus Family.
Happy crafting!

Stencil: The Angels Have The Phone Box
I admit it freely. I am new to the Doctor Who fandom. My best friend is old school DW and my hubby has been into DW since he was a kid. We’ve been catching up so we can go out with 10 next year.
My daughter has taken Doctor Who to heart and this is the latest in a line of Who craftiness.
One Doctor Who-inspired stencil:

*the original stencil was lost in a tragic file-accidentally-deleted mishap since this was originally posted. The current stencil includes an approximation of the original, plus a bonus, much more scribbled looking version.
Loads more stencils, right here on Sewhooked!
Add your Sewhooked-related photos to my flickr group and you might be featured in a future post!
Video: threadly tip
I received an awesome goody bag from a friend recently that contained (among other things) tiny lint rollers. I tossed them in my sewing basket and went about my business.
That is, until I had some serious seam-rippage to take care of and got totally frustrated at the million and one wee bits of thread!
This short video is just a quick tip, a time saver for quickly conquering all that itty bitty post-rippage thread!
As always, if you make any pattern or craft from sewhooked, I’d love to see a photo. Email me or add it to the Friends of sewhooked flickr group.
Happy crafting
