My other love (crafty love, not people love. I love a lot of people)

So everyone who's ever met me knows that I love knitting more than air, but it's not my only crafty passion, actually.  I love embroidery. I do quite a bit of embroidery myself, but I don't post much of it on here, mostly because I find it very difficult to photograph.  This post, however, is devoted to some crafty individuals who are taking the craft to a whole new level.  This is a very small sampling of what's out there....

My rejection is your reward!!

Some of you may remember that 10 months ago I submitted my first pattern to Knitty Fall '08, and anxiously waited a reply. Amy Singer decided to hold that pattern for consideration for the Summer '09 issue.  Well, many months I have finally gotten my first Knitty rejection.  It was a very kind rejection.  But lucky for you, I'm giving all of you the pattern for free, as promised.

So here is my Rocket Ship.  I knit this for my brother as a graduation gift.  Last spring he finished his graduate degree in rocket science.  He seemed to like it well enough, though I suspect he was a little miffed I finished my first rocket before he did...  Enjoy!
