Crochet graffiti gets recycled into a skirt

Vivacious

The big mistake........not any more.

My dyslexic S a 2?

Any how its no longer a problem as on the round who knows what it spells and if you stair for that long to work it out, you would be pretty noisy.

Pick up the stitches almost like knitting on the round only it's crochet.

A bottom warmer for sure, and I mist say needed........

What has happened to the UK a country that the thinnest jacket was required in

winter, it seems the season have shifted.........

I'm wearing my Swedish Jacket;-(

I thread the elastic through using a large darning needle, to help keep shape and hold up if the stitches should stretch and using the stitch that I have tried to demonstrate below cover up the elastic.

With this stitch.....

You are almost going back over what you have done before.

Party Dress gets a re-vamp


Potential party dress gets an overhaul

I made this last xmas and have just never been happy with the sleeves deciding that I could wear this as outrageous at it seems if I played down down the straps and put a black t shirt under (long sleeve of cousre) I figured it could be wearable.

Major problems

where as follows
1) I had no idea how I'd made the dress.
2) I could not just unpick (as the stitches where some how side ways)
3) had none of the original yarn to help fix.

Problem solved I cut off the sleeves (believe me I spent an hour trying to work it out! before I committed such a crime.

Below picked up stitches roughly with a life line.


Added an edge, as neatly as I could...... hiding the bitter mess of the insides, I'm showing a very selective picture as basically it was a major patch up.

Jelly Crochet

Not the wibbly wobbly, well it is! but it isn't

Washing line Crochet and Precious little things.

Precious little things.......

Tiny hands and tiny faces.

Baby J and his play doe hands, soooooo very cute.

Like putty in your hands. not a lot of stitches but plenty of cuddles.

Well that's when Monet lets me.

Washing line crochet.

Completed

Free form and graffiti and in my true style with a mistake, if your new to my blog the dyslexic part shows more times than not........

Always in innocent ways, like which way a S should sit? basic.

I can not explain how frustrating it is, it's more annoying I think now that I accept it than when I just made out that my education was not so good.

That my spelling/grammar was bad, but words and letters that I don't see make me yell. (on the inside)

And I do usually have my expert family that are always quick to notice my mistakes and of course completely miss all the good things;-), but the S escaped a few people, so it stayed.

Walking on Lake Ice & Tree Crocheted Graffiti

Yesterday I was having an knitted artist day over load,

my bag packed with things to tag, they have built up.........

I have had many must do! Must get too days..........(not happened)

So armed with my January's gone, get on with it inspiration.

Packed my bag, took dog off I went.

Sun was bright, snow blinding

(The temperature raised and I could take my gloves off)

Standing on ice, Its big Swedish thing!,

On my list of to-dos.

In the UK, we grow up with.......

NEVER STEP ON THE ICE!

Here's Rasmus and I

Yes on the ice..........

This is where swim in the summer,

I can tell you the water underneath was probably only as deep as my waist!

But my heart was pounding..........

This teamed with a quick thought of tagging a tree that actually in the lake!

Boom boom boom I thought it ,was going to leave through my throat.

Quick with the tagging (cable tie's)

To turn and see this huge, huge tanker coming through the ice.

The couple with the dog, just ambling along side it.

(unreal)

Captured for prosperity..............

EXTREME SPORT

Utter madness.

Feeling Manic

One day time public tag wasn't enough for me.........

I'd walked on ice

But not really thought about flowers but its really effective.

So welcoming, that on my front gate post

I put my frozen pom-pom

Sharing what it is I do, with my neighbour's..........

Eventfull Crochet

Karin cracked it........ my new Crochet stitch,

The one that I just could not make it sit flat. And my eventual progress turned it into my own production line of Doily's.
(Handy but not really what I was trying to achieve)

So here it is in my practice yellow acrylic size 4 hook. I had to master the proper stitch before I could work on my own version;-)

This is a Little to delicate for my liking but what a pretty little stitch.

WHY

Why indeed/My business card.

Image above at the very start of my new Project Graffiti lettering.

Me oh my

My new business cards, I'm very pleased and had my first occasion to give one out.

On a boat trip to town,crocheting as usual My why beginnings I attracted a little group of tourists, she asked me what was I making...

I guess if I had replied WHY! it could have been a little rude, so my answer just a W.

She took my yarn and hook and showed me a traditional stitch and then I gave her my card;-)
(fair swap)

Why Not!

Me oh my
