I'm already planning some more foxes, for example a polar fox mode from wool fabric left from a LARP cloak.
Next weekend I am hosting my first LARP since about seven years, so from Friday I will be off to the 1980s... I hope it will be good...

Fox Pillow
After all the work with the yarn patchwork, I wanted to do something easy and fast. Luckily I found this tutorial for cute and simple fox pillows. It took me only two hours to make this and it was real fun. (Ok, I guess if you don't know that it is supposed to be a fox it might not be your first interpretation, but I like it anyway.)

Spectular/Unspectacular Pillowcase
A few weeks ago I wrote that I was busy with a project that was much more work that I had expected.
I fact, it was an attempt to use up all the little scraps of the different Zauberball yarns I had lying around. I got the brilliant idea to make little squares from them, each about 10x10 cm and to sew them together to create a patchwork-like effect.
What I forgot was that this means that I had to knit at least 25 squares for the front of an ordinary cushion alone and so I decided to make only one side of the pillowcase from yarn and to use some corduroy for the back. Otherwise I would have had to buy some extra yarn and moreover I discovered that I really hate to sew knitted fabric together.
Anyway, I like the result a lot and I think the colours look gorgeous on my sofa.
Some of the squares lost there shape during sewing because I had some problems with the right tension, but I think the pillow actually looks better that way. Otherwise it would have been too geometrical.

Fairy Lights
I haven't written for quite some time but not because there wasn't anything worth posting. I have made a number of things and taody I am fianlly motivated enough to start showing some of them.
A few weeks ago I made these fairy lights, based on a LED lights chain. I wrapped the wire in some yarn in different shades of green and brown and I made a little paper hat for every light. I really like the result, especially because it looks not only great in the dark but is also decorative during daytime.
