No, I'm still working through the list of top 10 bidders, so far no-one's taken the 2nd chance offer. The rest of the stuff has been mailed out, though. |

$10k? Really? I don't think the winning bidder is going to actually pay more than $150 for those.
Edit: No offence meant, Saint. Those are awesome socks.

Yeah, but the problem is that some people bid such sums- and now they won't pay. Which is both against ebay's rules and retarded from them. Saint organized an awesome series of auctions for charity and these jerks just ruined a part of it. |

Yeah, it was a bit of extra effort but in the end the socks sold for $355 to a stand-up guy who was going to donate to Child's Play anyway, and ebay contacted me and said they would follow up on the fraudulent bidders. So I am not really bummed about it  But enough! My latest project, inspired by the Albino Goo from World of Goo (featuring myself in a wrinkled shirt and washed-out pants):  ... World of Goo was actually the first project I took on, only it didn't turn out so well so I scrapped it and returned a couple of months ago. I originally planned to do a Tower of Goo theme with Green and Blue instead of the Albino Goo, but I wanted to make it a bit more subtle and classy so it could actually be worn. |

Joseph from Machinarium, with crotcheted eyes. I failed to include all kinds of details but hopefully there is still some resemblance.  |

Instantly recognizable and really cool.
(Maybe you could add the pipe thingy at the top.)

Thanks! I thought about adding the chimney and the box at the back of the head, but I didn't want to put too much stuff on it... Maybe next time. Moving on, something from Knytt Stories. A lot trickier than they might seem due to 4 or 5 colors being used in a couple of the characters.  |

Oh, and I still need ideas for motives.
Something with the Art of Theft Trilby sprite? |

Thanks!
Trilby is a pretty good idea. I have another project right now and it will likely take a few months, but maybe after that...

...Yeah, so my intention was to make a sweater inspired by Mirror's Edge, I was done a couple of weeks ago but was really unhappy with the result. I managed to sort of salvage it, but it's still not very good. Then again, I usually do not wear knitted sweaters so perhaps I shouldn't have attempted to make one in the first place. Oh well.  |

Mr Gimmick, request from a friend. Probably should have been more careful and less in a hurry with the details.  |

Hey, I recently started knitting myself, I'm currently about half way through knitting my first jumper from a pattern (I thought I'd finished the back this evening but then I measured it against myself and it's not quite long enough, so I'm going to have to undo all my casting off to add a few more rows ). I'm interested to know how much planning goes into the designs on your things, do you plan out every stitch in advance or go in with a basic idea but largely make it up as you go? I'd quite like to try something like this myself, although I haven't tried knitting pictures onto anything yet. I especially like your world of goo one, it's subtle enough that to someone who hadn't played the game it would still just look like a really good design. |

Super Meat Boy. Edmunds characters lend themselves well for beanies, it seems.  ... While I tend to improvise with the knitting patterns, I usually just use a pixel-perfect representation of the characters and stick to that. Though tbh, I really should knit using only one or two colors and then embroider the images as it would make the multicolored stuff a lot more even... Good luck knitting! |

In school, originally. It's part of the arts & crafts curriculum in Sweden, or at least it was twenty years ago. |
