Here is Gir, dressed in the neon green dog suit he made so that he could "blend in" on earth. We both agreed that Zim's dumb, yet faithful, robot companion Gir was the best part of the show. When we first subscribed to Netflix the boyfriend and I watched a lot of episodes of Invader Zim. I'm hoping it will be easy to substitute out one of the contrast colours for another. Right now I have my eye on a pink bookmark, but I want to replace the pink with the shades of green that are used in one of the other patterns. I also really like that all the patterns use four shades of a contrast colour and then the gold knotwork. If I have time to stitch, I can usually complete one of these in 2-3 weeks. At least not compared to Wentzler's larger designs. These are really beautiful designs and they don't take too much time to stitch. This is the second bookmark I've stitched from Teresa Wentzler's Knotwork Bookmarks collection. After all, he'd be even quicker to stitch up.Īnd now a quick break from crochet. I'm thinking of trying the little guy that gets shrunk in the film. I really do have to find the time to make a couple of these for myself. Every time I look at this I'm struck by how cute the minions are. My minion was made in Bernat Satin Sunrise, which turned out to be the perfect corn cob yellow for a minion. Rather than crocheting the eye, I just chose the largest googly eye that I could find in my collection, then crocheted a grey circle around it. I created this one-eyed minion as a part of a friend's Christmas gift. It's very easy to follow and easy to alter to make your favourite of the many minions featured in the film. WolfDreamer came up with this fantastic pattern for the minions from Despicable Me. Usually it looks better wrapped up in the skein, but I really like using it for these dinosaurs. I think it's often hard to find projects that look good in variegated yarn. I love all the dinosaur patterns at PlanetJune, but I chose the stegosaurus specifically because he has so many pieces that a small child can grab with their hands (or teeth!). He was a gift for a friend's daughter for her first birthday.

Here’s the large version of the Celtic A: Here’s the small version of the Celtic A: The original alphabet was small – about an inch and a half to two inches high. I thought I’d offer two sizes of the monogram here, to make it easier for saving and printing. You could also work the letters in chain stitch or any variations – rope stitch, heavy chain, etc. For a lighter look, you could try feather stitch, or fly stitch. You could also try a variety of different types of fillings that would take curves well. The shape of the letters can be satin stitched or simply outlined. These areas can be filled with tiny seed stitching, or left empty. The original alphabet, from Journal des Demoiselles, features a specked area inside the curves of the knotwork. I like this alphabet a lot – there are many embroidery options for the letters. This set is a bit Celtic in flavor, as it features some loose knotwork. Here’s the beginning of a new set of monograms for hand embroidery.
