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!
You're crazy all right, and in good company :)
