Tagged?

Well this is fun, I got tagged by Steph =3
The prompt is to post 10 things you don't know about me, but would like to know, then tag 10 other bloggers.... Ah this should be fun XD

1. I try to teach myself a new knitting technique every week. This week? Bobbles.
2. I was raised up a nerd. I watched Star Trek TOS+TNG, Doctor Who(Tom Baker is my first Doctor =3 ), and Star Wars when I was a little 'un.
3. I really love writing letters and having penpals.
4. I cosplay...alot. >_>
5. I love to go to museums and gardens. Balboa Park is my favorite place, as it has lots of both =3 (English fail, but I'm running on 1 hour of sleep.)
6. I taught myself to sew and to knit. My mother has a dressmakers+tailors degree, but never taught me sewing. I watched once(she was taking in a pair of my pants when I was 10), and went with trial and error at age 16.
7. Adorable plush things make me squee.
8. I collect Asian Ball Jointed Dolls.
9. I've been listening to TikTok by Ke$ha on loop....and I have no clue why.
10. I'm not a very interesting person.

Now for the fun part, tagging 10 other bloggers...
Piccino Luna, Alyoops, Bianca ...Uhhh, yeah I'll get back to this. If you want to do this, go for it!

I'll hopefully have some WIPs next week. Maybe a bit of sewing progress from my cosplay =D

What's on my needles?

Hello all! School is finally out, and I am back from FanimeCon! Ya know what that means? working on cosplay for Anime Expo and SDCC More knitting!! =D

I was up at my usual...eh, 1am, looking on Raverly, and I came across an adorable new patterm from MondayMorningKnits(melissamonday on Raverly) It is the 'Bloom Couture Knit Headband' I instantly D'awwed over it, and started knitting a headband for my little sister.


I think she'll enjoy it, once I'm finished... granted I don't keep it for myself. It's too cute! ; ~;

I have a friend's Pullip coming to visit me soon, so I decided to take a stab at making a cute little beret, using the 'Écolière Beret' pattern from Parasoldoll (keyinherpocket on Raverly)



I've also been slowly working on a cosplay piece; Martha Jones' hat from the Doctor Who Episode, Human Nature. I'm sure when I finish it, I'll wear it pretty much everywhere XD

It looks like a purple pancake >__>

And finally, some FO's. I've been making these little knitted hair bows like crazy as of late.


They're so fun to knit, and people seem to enjoy them. I made one for my penpal Bianca, which She blogged about.
SO I think I'll go ahead and take commissions on them, and sell the two above. They will be $15 USD+shipping. Shoot me an email at okamishoujo[at]gmail[dot]com if you are interested.

Take care, and happy crafting!

Oh school

-dusts off this blog-
School is almost ending for me, and during the knitting-crochet blog week, my anthropology class got super intense.
Ah well I will completely participate in k-cbw next year!

I've been knitting quite a few little hairbows as of late, in my next post I'll show some of them off.
