New Knitting Thread (And spinning) (And crochet too I guess)
Raven JR:
I'm a crochet newbie, and an even bigger knitting newbie, though I havepicked them up pretty fast. My first knitting project is a scarf with a cat face on it done in shadow knitting. (If you don't know what Shadow Knitting is, here is a good example: http://site.voila.fr/cheapknitter/pillow.html ) I've done 3 scarves with my crochet, and a hat that is simply waiting to be finished, and I am almost done with a blanket for my cousin. And, like any good yarn jumkie, I have about 30 projects in my cue. Pictures will be coming soon. :)

I love it! (So much so that I registered to post...)
It looks like the one from the knit.1 magazine, only with thicker legs. How did you attach them and do the bottom?
I'm a beginner knitter. I do scarves. Exclusively. I'm thinking of venturing into hats. Maybe even a knit purl pattern. So far I can't crochet. Need to learn properly. But I'm hopeful. In the mean time I'll stick to churning out scarves. I've got a small mountain of yarns to use up. :P
yelley:
the bottom is a crocheted circle stitched on to the dome body, the legs are tubes sewn shut at the top and stitched around the base.

My first scarf! It was a pattern designed to teach garter, stockinette, and ribbing. Now I'm trying to make a baby blanket and twisting stitches. (I do not like these wacky circular needles!) So I'll make a bib instead.

No pictures but I'm in the midst of my first actual, non-accessory garment - an olive-green swing cardigan, designed for Rowan Big Wool but I'm obviously using an affordable substitute. Knitting on 10mm really does go fast; in only 3 days I've just about finished the back already!
The excitement!
