Happy holidays to all, and I hope 2014 is going well for everyone so far!

Can't complain about my own - Live Night Vale show tomorrow~! \o/\o/\o/ Glad I'm seeing the very first show; I wouldn't be able to stop myself from reading spoilers otherwise. At this point all anyone knows is the title ("The Librarian", which sounds ALL KINDS of interesting - a librarian, possibly loose on Night Vale???)

No word yet on whether there will be any voices besides Cecil Baldwin. This interview with Carlos's new voice claims at the end that he'll be appearing in live shows in 2014 - he was in the last live show of 2013 however, so it might just be mixed messages. But fingers crossed~! (I'm thinking Carlos will be in there somewhere, as they know their audience...but not sure...)

(--Incidentally, for those who haven't gotten around to Night Vale, the reason Carlos has a new voice, as explained by one of the show creators, is an argument to listen to it all in itself. Beside the obvious reasons, that it's hilarious and clever, and the fandom has some of the most outrageous and extensive fanon I've ever encountered. And of course canonical (and canonically adorably domestic!) m/m romance, but if you're a fangirl you probably know that much already...)

As far as my own Night Vale fanning goes, for Christmas [livejournal.com profile] naye asked for my interpretation of Khoshekh the floating station cat, so I got busy with my favorite crochet hook and some lovely purple yarn:



(Really gotta take pictures and post my other geek crochet creations...)

I also have a couple more WTNV fics up on my AO3, including the end of "Unvoiced".

So the thing is, I've done crochet on and off for years - my grandmother taught me with a huge size K hook when I was nine or ten - I've made a few afghans, following patterns. But for some reason the idea of amigurumi never occurred to me (else I'd have taken it up young and never stopped, given my love for stuffed toys.) A year or two ago, however, I came across this free pattern, which was too good to pass up, especially since I love the popcorn stitch. Didn't get hold of hooks in Japan, but back stateside I dug up my old bag of yarn and got to work.

(I finished these a few months back, but one was a Christmas present for [livejournal.com profile] gnine, so I couldn't post pics until post-holidays.)
