Britany....

This is an up date on Britany! (this is whom the dress I making/designing is inspired by! I know what your thinking why? and the answer JUST BECAUSE)
So she has issues but coming together, I'm not sure where I am going next with the dress but I have now stitched in all the ends that as the insides where a complete mess.
That's a good start!

This week I've mostly been finishing!

Spinning my yarn, this rainbow colour I purchased from the knit fair. It was 98kr so around £7:50. At last weeks knit cafe I was kindly shown how to take it from the twist to a ball. And it made the one you see and also enough to make one more, so I will spin the other this weekend. So a bargain as I took a risk buying it this way as I was unsure how much of a ball it would make up too. But It was more than I expected and a fun thing to do!

Knitted sculpture, I made this as a random knit sample, meaning I used many yarns on large needles.

I then made a huge tray with plastic and set the knit in pva(glue). I was hoping as it was a thin layer that it would just firm the knit but the glue did not spread evenly so I had to add more making the glue set clear in places and then in others white.

I made a metal frame from garden wire a basque shape but the knit fabric ended up so heavy that it looks more like a large vase!

Here is my paper and pearls sample, tricky on a 15 hook. Fixed beads are too difficult to knit I need to buy some cheap charity beads and re tread so that their is more space in between each stitch.

To get around this I alternated with the green paper string, So I did a crochet square with beads then picked up the paper and did a crochet square in between.

corners of my home

I found these old, industrial-looking wire baskets at a flea market. It seemed a waste to keep them hidden as under-the-bed storage, so they've found a new home in the kitchen...
...where they are nicely holding tablecloths, napkins, and domed food covers.
More 'corners' here.
