Big thanks ;-)

An offer of packaging for my ever increasing dress.

Welcomed with open arm's.

Posted from way across the ocean.

Rasmus obviously sniffing the dog of (Grrl=Dog)

Dress so far

Fuller skirts.

I needed more packaging for the sleeves and the length.

(Undecided yet as to just how long I will go!)

A little Grease lightening

But who cares.

It was the one that I wanted........

Oh honey!



Back detailing........

(Made up stitch!)

Back

Lemon Aid, Halter Neck Knitted Top.

Front
Lemon aid.

I hope that you had a very relaxed Christmas;-)
Mine felt like robo Christmas!! ,the years the routine all just a little to familiar.
Robot me.......

(Scroll down previous posts and you will see charity shop buy)

Now my conversion.

Straps
(knitted on 3.5 /5 then 7 to widen ends as if a bow)

Back edging added.

Stitches up close/using a flash (Swedish darkness!)

Collage for future projects, colour and inspiration
(Just simply, I love to do collage)

English Eccentric

I love NY

Below completed Dance dress show.

Merry Knitmas

Huge Post, apologies

Merry Merry Knitmas;-)

Completed but I'm left with lots and lots of ends.

The crochet back bone needed edging.

Because you could see the join,

So I put on a top layer, using the same stitch.



Project charity.

This was a shop brought frog,

That

I have started to fixed it.

£2 bargain,

That I think will eventually become some sort of tank top.

I just love the mend part.

("Make do and mend")

Sad when stitches are bagged up and forgotten.

This was half way done, left to unravel

So I picked up the stitches.

knitted up a little,

Then I have dropped stitches to make a neck line

And make way for straps.

Mear's baby car seat blanket completed.

Perfect little crochet stitches.

Frocks and Knickers

New Dress

Back bone stitch.

Structure and the new stitch again, I think that I must have been thinking about
my friend Angela with out realising as her uni final piece was a knitted back bone.

I crocheted one with out even thinking.........strange.

My background art matches my dress;-)

Baby Mear's

Crochet Baby Blanket.....

It's a new stitch and it makes the yarn double the thickness.

These colours I think are ok for boy or girl.

The Lilac the only iffy one, but I have a boy and I was ok with lilac.
Pretty safe (modern day and all)

This will be a perfect size for a car seat.

Not made anything baby in a while, but who can go wrong

with a baby blankets as a gift.

From Baby to Vintage baby.

Another one for my collection.

Price 2 d

I have not seen this part before, a tension square, Very cute.

Ben Fogle who? facts below.

I know his dad is a famous vet, so the lime light, a chip of the old block.

Any way that's enough about Ben.

My new Free Form Dance Dress

Snow is falling

Unfortunately I missed the sun slot to take the photo, that's why
it's a little dark.

But the back drop is pretty.

I'm hooked, all other projects are mounting

As I'm crocheting round and round my mannequin.

(some project just work better actually stitched on the mannequin)

Technique for fitted or heavy dresses.

WHY?

You just get a better feel of the project working this way.

WIP'S

Free form- New Stitch

Plus packaging dress to the left.



Project charity is stuck in motion,

New stitches picked up and put down.........

Pom-pom in my garden/snow elements.

And I'm ready to start.

I just need to get some yarn/pretty much exhausted my stash.

Big Christmas hint..........;-)

Doily's Kitch or Cool?

Doily's ,doily's every where........

Kitch

Or Cool

I say cool,

And not for the traditional reasons,

(Well actually, that's a lie)

Ooop's

As I do have a side board,

On this side board, under my mirror

Is in fact a rather large quiet beautiful,

Orange crocheted doily.:-)

I never ever thought that I would become the type of person

That gets excited about Doily's.......

But that's me,

I use them in my art, It didn't occur to me
(Always having a stock of charity shop doily's)

That during the summer months the
charity shops, stop stocking.
(Say that fast!)

my carefully, hours spent, hand made, pop your pot plant on

Type doily's are....

Traditionally used in winter only in Stockholm;-).

But its that time again......

Winter

Vinter

And I found my self getting completely excited,

Over my 100kr around £10 spent on doily's.

Oh what joy, Christmas come early.
