I hope you guys know how to knit...

...because you are going to want to knit this. This was created by a wonderful knitter I found over on Ravelry named Kelly. Check out this adorable little Serenity she made!



It's so cute! It could use some glow in the dark yarn on the little engine parts, but whatever. Oh yeah, did I mention that this pattern is TOTALLY FREE? It is so awesome that she would not only take the time to write up a pattern like this (because writing patterns are a total pain in the butt) but that she would put it up for the whole world to use. So go forth and knit! Stay tuned!

You can't take the Firefly crafts from me!

For some reason I've been seeing a lot of (new! well, to me at least) Firefly related crafts out there. I thought I would share!

First off, some awesome crocheted and knitted versions of Serenity. I do like the crochet one better, I think (the first one) because I like the colors on it and some of the pieces are a little more detailed (I want the removable shuttles though!), but the knit one has a light up butt!
I think if I am ever bored (well, if I'm bored and I don't have mountains of work I'm supposed to be doing--okay, probably even if I do) I want to make one of these bad boys (or is that girl? Are spaceships girls too, like boats? Why are there so many parenthesis in this post?) but it does look rather intimidating. I'll keep an eye out to see if the pattern ever pops up.And then a cute cross stitch that was also found on craftster:
I like the ship, it's instantly recognizable. It's kind of weird that the quote is actually a small dialogue, but I think that the two colors of thread help that a little bit.

And now my favorite, even if it is a bit simple, I think the hearts are a great touch:
Ha ha! Jayne is so gross.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this stuff! Keep an eye out here for new stuff, and don't forget to keep an eye on crazy penguin Drake's adventures! Since I can't seem to get away from crafting stuff I'm going to be posting some cool tutorials over there, so stay tuned!

I love my captain!

Okay, so some people wanted to see more pictures of Mal, so here he is!

He's so cute! He's probably not one of the most complicated of the crew (you know, physically, not emotionally) but I like him. I like his jacket--he has a torn patch on his left arm that has been patched up from when he was shot in the first episode. You can't really see them that well, but he has two big gold clasps (just felt) on the front, too.

His belt is supposed to be uneven, but it was really hard to make it low-slung, so I'm not sure if that came off very well. His gun is pretty neat, though.
See, it's a little off-kilter. I'm pretty proud of his suspenders, too, even though they were a pain in the butt to make. And for any shippers out there-
Ha! I'll be back with more pics of the rest of the characters soon, so stay tuned!

Firefly!

Alright everyone, the Firefly crew is finally done! I said I would have them posted this weekend, and--okay--I lied. It's very very early Monday morning. But I wanted to show you guys so bad, I had to post them tonight!
Now you still have to tune in later, this picture doesn't show any of the accessories we made--and let me tell you, we made a lot and they are super cool. I'll show individual shots later, but I just wanted to get the whole crew out there. I hope you guys enjoy! More details will be posted later on today.
