    I wouldn't start getting worried until after a couple more weeks. I used the cheapest shipping (because I am poor and a student), so the estimate they gave me was 4-6 weeks. I haven't had anything go missing in the mail yet, and I sent 3 packages to Russia this summer. I'd imagine your postal system is more consistent than Russia's, so remain optimistic!

    Heh heh. Yes, I hope it is! (No offense to Russia but that's one big country and not altogether stable...) Thanks for the info! I can now rest my nights somewhat more easily for a time. For I don't know how bad I'd have felt if this one had gone missing for good. The stuff from the USA that never arrived were just bought items (the friend bought them and sent), not something someone spent hours to craft by hand.

    After more than a month I had already lost my hope and succumbed to the dire feeling of hopelessness. And so I was unprepared indeed to the surprise the post had carried me today, but what a pleasant surprise it was! I was grinning as if it was a premature Christmas when I realised the nature of the packet I was holding in my hands.

    My greatest thanks to you, KitKat! It's bigger than I expected, thicker than I expected and just as warm as I expected from a handicraft by you! A wonderful gift indeed.

    I wonder if it is too late to request something, hope not. If you have time a pair of plain black fingerless gloves with the initials "DR" on the back would be nice.

    Happy Holidays.

    It's never too late to request something, as long as you're willing to wait an indefinite amount of time to receive it. I'll add you to the list

    I haven't made much progress on the request list lately because Christmas knitting has taken priority, but I hope to have Lucifus' request finished by beginning to mid January.

    In the meantime, here's a couple pics of a hat that I designed. I'm not totally happy with how it turned out, but I think it's pretty good for a 'first draft'. It's still unfinished here, but you can get the general idea.

    Well, I haven't made much progress on my request list, because I got distracted into joining up with all these other blogs that were having giveaways. Here are the things that I made for my giveaway, in all their geeky glory: Red Mage and Black Mage potholders, and a 1up mario wristband.

    You are still missing White Mage.

    Jolly good work. I haven't read 8-bit theater for like half a year. Maybe I should catch up one of these days...

    Neat patterns. More stylish than many of those made with different colours. Gives a far more 3D feeling.

    I will echo Kraco's sentiments.

    Those look amazing.

    Neat design, gives off a vibrant display of 3-dimension and overlapping patterns.

    Thanks guys! I should have mentioned that the pattern isn't mine - it's published online here. However, I did modify it a bit to add in thumbs.

    Today I also finished my first cardigan ever. I made it with lace yarn, and I think it turned out pretty well for a first sweater attempt. The pattern is Stardust from Knitty.


    In terms of original designs, I'm in the middle of figuring out how to do the FMA logo from the back of Ed's coat with a cable pattern (not an easy task...but I'm making progress) as well as how to make a lace shawl pattern that will be a pac-man level. We'll see how these ideas turn out.

    Right on KitKat! Both of those look amazing! I can't wait to see more of your work. =)
