Hattie is a comics scholar and obsessive reader from Brighton(ish) but living in Glasgow, Scotland where she is working towards a PhD in Canadian Studies, more specifically about Québécois comics and politics. Mostly she reads comics about other peoples’ lives because she’s nosy like that. She is an enthusiastic, if not experienced, seamstress and could win Olympic Gold Medals if only Procrasti-Sewing and Procrasti-Baking were recognised sports. A not insignificant percentage of her free time is spent worrying about whether her cats like her as much as she likes them. She is resident Quebec Comics Monkey over at Graphixia where she likes to lay claim to being more Canadian than she really is. Twitter: @HattieK

I started a new job 8 weeks ago and it involves spending almost three hours a day on trains, not to mention weekly travel for meetings throughout the UK. I’m too tired to read some days so I am getting back into audiobooks and my hands are getting bored. With this in mind I have decided to make a lot of my Christmas gifts this year and put all of this new travel time to good use.

Being the comics fan that I am, I love wearing comics themed accessories and I think that some of my friends and family would love these patterns I found online. I’ve got a couple of nice quick patterns that I can do while I work out what commuting crafting looks like, and then a couple more epic options that might be best suited for my trips to Scotland and Wales.

Crochet HobbesI am beyond smitten  with this crocheted Hobbes by sukigirl. I definitely know which tiny human is going to get this under the tree this Christmas.

 

Speechbubble Scarf by Nerdy TogetherI might have to make myself one of these Speech Bubble scarves by Amanda from Nerdy Together as well. I love how it is a subtle but still clear nod to comics and how they work.

 

 

Wonder Woman Dishcloths by Stefanie GreenThese Wonder Woman dishcloths by Stefanie Green are the perfect stocking stuffers for my mum and sister (two totally awesome women that kick ass every day). I’m going to choose yarn colours that match their kitchens and make them a handy stash of them to stick under the sink!

 

 

Spiderman Blanket by Anne MThis Spiderman Blanket is going to test my attention span and my knitting skills but I really love it. I can’t wait to wrap it up for one of the new tiny humans in my life.

 

 

Captain Marvel Fingerless Gloves by Maritini KnitsI love fingerless gloves so, so much. These Captain Marvel ones by Maritini Knits will make a great Christmas gift and will be an easy train knit for me.

 

 

 

 

Snoopy Hat by Sarah ZimmermanThis Snoopy Hat by Sarah Zimmerman is the most perfect hat that ever possibly could be.
