I'm so unbelievably THRILLED at how well this piece turned out! Oh stuff it i'm gonna give myself a round of these lol

This piece was made for the 'Knit your fave Beatle' contest over on Ravelry. To be honest, I can't really single out a fave as i'm insanely mundane and have major love for all of them, I chose John, thanks to the 'bridge line' as shown below, but also because I have always loved reading/watching/hearing his way with words...

'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.' -John Lennon.
'Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.' - John Lennon.
'A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.' - John Lennon.
'I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.' - John Lennon.
'I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!' - John Lennon.
'I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.' - John Lennon.
'If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.' - John Lennon.
'If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.' - John Lennon.
'Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.' - John Lennon.
'My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.' - John Lennon.
'Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.' - John Lennon.
'Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.' - John Lennon.
'Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.' - John Lennon.
'The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?' - John Lennon.
'The more I see the less I know for sure.' - John Lennon.
'There's nothing you can know that isn't known.' - John Lennon.
'You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!' - John Lennon.
'You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.' - John Lennon.
'Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.' - John Lennon.
Rock.In.Peace. John.

Over half-way now ma brudders and seesters!

Now we all know that when I hit the eyes, I tend to go balls to the wall and rush my hand into the ground to get it done....well...i'm banking that this will be no exception!
I honestly can't wait to get it done and today I realised why I must have 'subconsciously drifted' towards doing John from 'Hard Days Night'...
It's all because of one line...
Roll the tape Johnny....

Classic.
(No idea what The Lion King has to do with anything but what the hey, it was an awesome film too!)

Girl got a webcam, girl gonna use it!!
Testing, check 1, 2, testing....

Girl must remember to dust face with some powder before recording!!!
My apologies to anyone who was eating whilst viewing. That should have come with a warning...
Expect vlog's a trillion billion times better in the future!!
Much love,

So this young fellow chomping his finger is the source of inspiration for my next piece
Ok so I haven't gone with a shot of him nawing one of his digits off (although in hindsight may have been more entertaining), I have gone for a shot of him circa. 1964 aka 'cute John' - in my humble opinion -_^!
35% of the way through so far and i'm lovin` what i'm seein`!
I've decided to experiment on this piece and run the blue through the greys Hopefully it'll create a funky effect! (otherwise i'll just say that it's meant to look 'errr artistic?')



Much love,

HELLO WELLO ELLO!! Welcome to revamp number 543165547 of Totallee.net! What can I say, I get really bored, really easily
So the whole reason for the revamp was to improve navigation and make it a hell of a lot easier for people to scan their peepers over my crochet pursuits, so feedback would be smiled upon greatly!!!
I'm aware that it may be a little bit IN YOUR FACE for some people, as it looks as though a clown's thrown up on the page with so much colour splashed everywhere, so lil tip, if it isn't your cuppa tea, try viewing with sunnies on
Time to slip into tour guide mode...
To your right you'll find a mood board - basically to reflect what my interests are at the moment. I pinched the idea off a designer whilst watching 'Project Runway Australia'
As one does
Below is a link to the Hogwarts Bunch Blankie - which is so close to completion it's scary. It's going to be a little bittersweet once the final panel is done *sigh*. Below that is Free pattern for February, Mr. Ronald Weasley! I've gotten a number of requests to post my patterns for this project, so I thought i'd trial popping one up once a month and see how we go
On the left you'll see links to the gallery, which is still under conctruction, but will be completed over the coming days, and a little shout-out for anyone interested in commissioning a piece of fiber art
So feel free to have a poke around and lemme know your thoughts via the tagboard! Since Haloscan have decided to shut down and leave me without a commenting system *le sigh*. Bye for now amigos!!
Much love,
