These made a splash in the blogosphere back in July/August 2011 apparently – WHERE WAS I!? xD My lords this is such a great idea on behalf of the artist, Siren Elise Wilhelmsen, and I do hope they get released commercially. Mechanical Knitting Nancy hooked up to a clock mechanism so that it slowly knits...
This tutorial is a few years old, and I found it a few years ago. xD BUT! Its a gorgeous and very easy tutorial so I think it bears repeating. For some reason I thought I’d already posted it – I have a PERFECT memory of this – but that’s clearly not possible because this...
I’ve not posted anything in a while ^_^;; WHOOPS! But I have good excuses. Like Christmas. And New Years. And Birthdays. AND SO MUCH KNITTING! xD I stumbled upon this free crochet tutorial (on Pinterest no less – I CAVED! Its wonderful xD) though and thought it would be such a cute way to...
Had a SUPER busies day and so I didn’t start today’s stocking until laaaaaates. And since I was rushed I decided to just finish off the pairs I had. New colour TOMORROW! So yeah, photo is all OH HAI I AM TAKEN AT NIGHT IN FAKE LIGHTS! Which is a bit… Well, yeah, less than...
I’M SO LATE AND WE HAVE TO GO BUT HURR HAS A STOCKING..! I promise tomorrow’s will be different colours xD To make up for the COMPLETE LACK OF POST, here, have a cast-on tutorial for SERIOUSLY stretchy cast on action. I’m not even kidding, this thing ROCKS for ribbing like you wouldn’t believe:
DAY TWO! Could actually be daughter of Stocking I. ITS POSSIBLE! Finished early in the afternoon but then, uh, kinda forgot to post it until now – FORTY MINUTES LEFT OF THE DAY! Its still good, right? WE BOUGHT A NEW CHRISTMAS TREE TODAY! $12! Can you even believe it!? On the 2nd of December...
This whole advent idea + the Christmas themed Bonds commercials on tv atm have got me thinking about thematic ornaments/projects for Christmastime based on the Twelve Days of Christmas. The GOOD thing about is, however, that they don’t start ‘TILL Christmas, so as the Advent Calendar ends, then this project (probably) begins. WOO!
ITS THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS YOU GUYS! And since its the first of December, and I don’t have anything on my plate at ALLLLLL, no, not even a little bit of it I decided WHAT BETTER TIME TO START YET ANOTHER PROJECT?! And the project? One squishy baby stocking a day between now and...
UNF! Just came across this really gorgeous blanket @ Sewing Daisies – a mix of sewn squares (Kaffe Fasset ‘charms’) and blanket stitch + crochet borders to connect them. SO SWEET! I must make one of these, FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Just the thing to use up all of the myriad delicious fat quarters I pick...
I saw a yarn ball wreath last year and SO wanted to make one, but we weren’t going to be around for Christmas so I figured to hold off on the COATING OUR HOUSE WITH REINDEER, SHINIES and YARN!DEPENDENCY. Which was pretty valid, I thought, since we’d have to set it up, not enjoy...
A close friend collects Orangutans, which I find super adorable. For Christmas 2010 I thought I’d make her up a little tiny one to go on her desk, to go with some other gifts I’d collected throughout the year for her. Upon completion decided it’d make a great little pattern to share with others, remembering...
There’s a LOT of crochet star patterns out there, and several great free ones at that. Around a year ago now though I was embarking upon a project where I needed to create ‘under the sea’ themed knit or crochet items for an exhibition for the Adelaide Fringe. Called Knitting Nancy Dives In, the exhibit...
