UK's fastest Knitter

Teenage project

On a large hooks 12mm & 20 mm I crocheted a waist band a few rows just enough to go around your waist.
The joined the edges together (circle)
Then crocheting on the round with a really quick stitch it took no time to knit up this quick skirt.
To I turned it into a dress using an old vest top and green cotton, the most dominant colour I had in my sewing box to match.
I attached the two together, not that neatly I may add(blanket stitch) but it was, quick thus making a funky fun summer dress.
Using up a lot of odd yarn balls, using around three at once.

Crocheted Pansie's(Pansy spelt correctly)

I saw this when I was surfing through addictive Raverly looking what forum/groups to maybe join. One was art and crochet perfect for me, when I clicked on the posts I read this as crocheted Pansies!(Well known Uk flower)
I'm looking at the Pink on White thinking they don't look much like flowers funny interpretation.
So I did what we all do next, Googled him (Jack Davis)
And got more pictures then I realised my big dyslexic mistake it said Penis's! that will teach me to check more clearly.
Still laughing out loud;-)

Baby pastels

Perfect;-)
Punky baby!
Baby
Possible neck, sleeve options, I couldn't decide so I tried a little Liz Hurley touch with safety pin sleeves, I liked the juxtaposition of the soft, colours with harsh metal
But the tops called baby so it just didn't work. Then I decided to frog the neck part and re-think it, in the end I decided no sleeves and an open neck. It's a bit like the pastels knit from the book "Sexy little knits"

A knit to close for comfort!

"A bit to close for comfort" A Uk saying that we Brit's use a lot, but with a knit-ism added;-)
I left my front room for 5 minutes and when I returned I found the naughty 5 month old a little to close to my new dress! And really he isn't supposed to be on the sofa? my dog training not going as well as my knitting.

Knit alert
Knit lab is not closed a slight miss understanding on my part. The owners away but the shop is open as usual.

Ravelry
Im getting there ,not quite up to forums but as far as logging on and accepting friends and listing a 2nd project, I have started.

It seems, if your not on! your not cool in Stockholm
Hurtigs (Drottningatan)Tuesday knit cafe, got four new members this week all because of Ravelry.

Darcy

Darcy
The bottom I'm still unsure I really need to get it on a mannequin's, my Kate (mannequin) is currently at knit lab for my exhibition so I will take it in and pop it on for a better picture so you can see the effect. When it's re- opened.
Darcy inspired partly by travel, partly by the book I am currently reading.

One Sleeve up close, two completely different in style this seems to one of my trade marks. I think that the multi colour scheme is very wintery.
I was just using up my stash and it was a whole load of odds I brought cheaply at a Co-op(Swedish supermarket)
They don't stock quality but they do stock funky teen type yarns! well they did the reason this was all so cheap was that on my last visit they where selling it all off a while back.

Ruffles

Nice knee's! sorry for bad picture and notice Rasmus that obviously doesn't have my camera shyness the big black spot in the corner. I just wanted to show how it looks, its heavy heavy so it will need some good sleeves and strong enough to stand up by it's self.

I think putting the pink ruffle has given it kind of an 80's feeling, I have run out of the pink so this project will be stunted for 2 weeks as my beloved knit lab is shut for a summer holiday.

Technique for the bunching/ruffle effect
Long dress and then every other new crochet stitch added with the bright pink I got up and down the section of knit.

I did once all round with an 8 hook and then am doing a second row on top with a 5 hook to pull in the stitch a little bit more.
