#16 Knit for Tat!

Hold My Sock Game!

Ok so while I'm working on the next issue I thought I'd do a little post about something I love to do. . . The Yarn Harlot's Hold My Sock Game. The jist of it is that if you meet a celebrity you get a picture with them holding your sock in progress it has to be on the needle. So for my mom's birthday last year I knit her socks and was able to get a few celebrities to hold the socks.

First up was Jane Lynch!

Then I was lucky enought to meet the Yarn Harlot!

Then I got an email from Crystal Bowersox and she came to my Stitch n' Bitch group.

 So my mom was really excited to receive her socks and to be there as they were being held.












So this weekend I was able to get a pair of socks I'm making for myself held by a pretty famous guy in the knitting world Franklin Habit!

 

That's all for now the next issue should be up soon I'm sure you will all like it alot!

Character Inspiration #2

Hey everyone I thought I'd do another character inspiration post today. Today's focus....

The Skein Monsters

The Skein Monsters came about as I was getting ready to help out at Windy Knitty for the Chicago Yarn Crawl last year. I was gonna make some fun signs for the window but was kinda stumped by what to do then it hit me do pictures of yarn crawling. Hence the Skein Monsters were born. This is where Skein n' Bones really started to come together. I knew these characters would be perfect for the comic idea I had and then the format and stories started to come to me.
I hope you've enjoyed this insight to the characters. Keep checking back for more character inspirations.
