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

I posted the pictures the wrong way round!

When the big freeze thaws.

Knitted boulder/update

My neighbours bright idea

(I set knitting in 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..........

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.

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

Park Life Pom

Waiting

But for what........

Rainy cloudy day

Dark and the park just looked so empty.

So with a little imagination.

This little pom lit up the play area.



Playing with my camera, in focus out of focus.

Hanging about...........




Park life

I really like the Juxtaposition of the Pom pom against the wire fence.

Soft and flufffy

Against restricted metal.


A day in the Life of Urban Pom pom.



Up close fab colours, this little beauty has just waiting for a photo shoot.



This one should be titled the Hungry Catapilar as the pom pom looks as if it munched its way through a whole bunch of leaves.

Pom-pom project elvis Robertson

My Pom before posting, chillin on the tram stop bench

Contact from elivs
my Pom-pom arrived to England yesterday!.

And seeing I actually posted it when we still had snow on the ground, I have no idea where my pom pom has been hiding.
(Swedish post or Uk? mmmm which one not so good?)

But any way, it got their!!!! In one piece and she was very pleased;-)
Happy that I have been part of such a great project and a project that's still in it's early days.

The winter is worth looking forward too, Pom pom wise!

elvis sent me the link below to have a look at some one else's post about the project, the more we post, I guess the more news will be spread............

Then it will be Pom-poms galore.
