THE YEAR OF CRAFTING SLEFISHLY! Day 7

Howdy all!

I have spent time plotting and compiling!

I have even completed one project! Admittedly I am not keeping it, but that was all part of the plan!
I never said I wouldn't knit or craft for others, just I had to craft 40 things for me!

That being said there is progress on many things that I am making for myself.

I have a GAP inspired cowl (called GAP-tastic)inspired by a sample knit up at Knit-o-Matic!
It's GAP-Tastic - Name inspired by the show I just finished called The Story will make its debut showing here by the end of the week!
For those who haven't noticed, I've become a bit obsessed with Doctor Who.
What better way to show my love of the show then to craft it!
There will be various things over the year but I am starting with 2 items.
A stuffed Dalek & a Dalek inspired colour work hat.
These babies will be ready in the next couple of days.

But what I am currently excited about is my Technicolour Tapestry!
It is a pattern called Rams & Yowes. It is a blanket knit in the round and then steeked (you take scissors to it and cut the seam). A boarder will be added and then I will hang it like art!

This is a crazy exercise as I have very little colour work experience and I don't read charts so good!
9 colours!
4 charts!
I'm crazy right? 

I figure learn a whole bunch of stuff all in one go. I haven't done any really new skills in a while, so this is going all crazy.

I will talk more about the trials and tribulations for another day, but here is a photo to tide you over!

See Trials and tribulations! I Can't seem to add my photo at the mo!

I'll get it up for next time!

Word to your mother!
