Knitted Graffiti and other projects

I have nearly completed my crocheted Graffiti for the kulturfestivalen. I ran out of beads and then I got bored of strips, so I have just really being playing with the stitches. My favourite type of crochet.

I have been using the red cotton to create the imaginary zipper. The place that you can pull the dress tight(to skinny) to fit and that of course you have a little give (if larger) the access point.
(I just cant think of the right word;-()

Hook size 8, 5 then 3

Crocheted letters
(My E)

E for Eat me
, Drink me.........Part of my Alice collection.


Tuesday at Hurtigs
Carin and Gunilla
A lovely cup of Earl gray tea, we got to sit outside and chat.
We really laughed, it was a very funny knit cafe.
Whom ever thought of the knit and
stitch a very skilled multi tasking women,
Because when you chat and stitch add laughter, inevitably this happens

I had to unpick a few free-form rows(go figure), Gunilla lost count of her stitches
.

I learnt something new

Carin
show me how to crochet the 2ND yarn in, as if the back of a fare isle knit all thready was how my 1st attempt looked, but on explanation a little twist and stitch the tread was neatly in.
(My best explanation)

I'm making letter again and I'm trying it the make a crochet square way using the two colours at once.

Before I made the shape of the letter, then I crocheted around it.

Yarn for poetry

4ply
Not acrylic and a light colour, all that was required.
I had to ask around about 4 ply and wool, not anything that I have used before.
4 strands it was all quiet simple, really I guess.
But with a little advice........(That what experienced knitters are for)
I found this at 23krs a ball, I think a pretty good deal
Soft and minty
Work began

12 by 12 inch square
size 3 hook
59 chain? this was more like 8 cm. A little math reqiured (kim star)
90 and that made the 12 inch required.
Then I began, I didn't get far with such teeny tiny stitches, but it's all in the name of poetry so I won't complain.
