Book launch party photos...

Me sitting looking like I know what I'm doing! (When I was really very nervous)
 My rail set up, my clothes and accessories where displayed on a rail at the launch party in PUB.
People loved it! they looked and touched and asked questions and seemed really impressed with my technique style and design. It was great just sitting knitting and watching all of it go on around me.
This is the you tube from the Tv appearnce with Lena (knit lab) From channel 4 Swedish Tv. Sorry its taken me so long to put the link on my blog.

Here are some reviews about the book they are obviously in Swedish but you can read my name. Translated it reads something like, Alison's Fridays fantasy knits all made by hand. (Thank's Emma:-)
My husband sent me these links, hence the you are mentioned!

This week I have been mostly crochet-ing




Well it's been a busy week, and as every week I'm on something new with the knitting. This week I made the skirt part to the launch party out fit.
Basque top(made previously)
I made the mistake of not actually trying the basque top on before hand and it looked good but was extremely tricky to get done up!
(thank heaven for little girls!) I don't say that much but Monet proved priceless in my outfit organising. Need to rethink the ribbon and lace up the other way make help the issue.
Back to the skirt
The skirt was a real success, I cut the legs of old jeans and then hemmed with the sowing machine to turn into a skirt and with the left over rainbow top yarn I made a hippy/pride and prejudice look of an out fit, just by knitting random squares and then knitting them together as if a scarf then I attached it to the denim. Together it was a bit much, but I wanted people to know who I was!
But as separates the skirt is a great idea for teenagers to make with old charity shop jeans and an every day wearable knit.
Where as
The basque, very in at the moment and teamed with skinny jeans and a vintage blouse under neath,would be a good Christmas party out fit.





no knead Dutch oven bread

Is there such a thing as a 'no knead' bread, that takes hardly any hands-on time, but tastes like delicious artisan bread? I had not come across any, until I read in Mother Earth News magazine about the NY Times article.
The bread is made in a Dutch oven, which I have, so I thought I'd give it a try. It came out delicious!! A rustic flavorful crusty loaf ~ I know, it seems too good to be true...
If you are interested, you can read the Mother Earth News article & recipe here, and there's a video of the making of the bread here.
Happy Baking!
