Woolly walk along pimp.

Woolly walk along pimp.
operation harbour railings(lots of)/ New Zealand, so beautiful.
knitty Graffity did her thing...... getting so many involved for such a fun project.
 
A world wide collaboration of street art/yarn bombing/knitted graffiti.
I love that the knit is so out in the open, that you can walk and touch it
feeling the yarns and all the stitches watch it weather, grow old.  Well for a while at least;-)

It won't last forever but captured by photography is a perminant memory, my kind of art.
Below the links to read all about it.

My Mitts/arm warmers.

Night-time it's becoming extremely nippy,  especially on the night time dog walk.

I'm sooooo season confused I even unpacked the winter duvet then had to get my shorts from my hardly worn summer packing (back out) as we have had a lovely few days? 


Back to cold nights 
 
A free-form two ball/skein project (with spare) crocheting each line both at the same time.  Mitt one ,then mitt two not literally at the same time, or else two pairs of hands would be requried and Im no godess I only have one set ;-)

Currently completed, all my ends and there where plenty of ends stitched in.

Inspiration, Dedication, Crochet Experimentation.

My Fiona Hat

(Biggest Beret ever, featured if you scroll down the blog)
I really tried to make it smaller but with my best effort,

It still fell down over my eyes,

So a bag it is! (Yes Angela, we think very alike)

I made the strap free-form and when I took the photo,
I loved the shadow.

And of cousre, my new hobbie seems to be play on
Paint Shop.

So I Crocheted played away,

pleased with my Art Knit results.

International Friday,

my most recent Stockholm knit cafe.

A quick mention for the school knit cafe I run, this week had the biggest turn out yet 11 and two babies. 8 different country's represented, randomly three Brits,

French,
German,
Maltese,
Australian,
Canadian,
Swedish, and Macedonian.

The group is split almost 60/40
(knitting the most popular, but I'm working on that:-)
knitters and Crocheters, beginners to advanced. Some just stopped by for a coffee and to be inspired.

Aleah a knitting Newbe, eventually got the confidence to (KIP) knit her stitches in public and even learn a little crochet, Celine and karin happy to help.

Sabine modelled her newly finished lilac top, Anita working away at those slippers Norwegian style.

Suzanne getting thorough her projects at a rate of naught's!!!
(looking forward to the cushion unveiling)

Our aim
Chat, pass patterns look at inspirational books and just generally have fun.


Angela Hatton

My dear friend, designed a free form dress inspired around me!

"Free form expert, is quoted on her blog"

(I'm very proud) Angela (aka Quirky lil knits)

A knitted professional so I feel privileged that I inspired her.

As she, to me......Vise'r(Vise)... Verser.

A dress I made in 2008 Angela
(Inspired by yes you get the theme here, Angela)

Inspriational over load.

Here's to following a pattern or NOT?

My Beret

My pattern following explained!

Maybe my OPENING sentence should actually be.........

That I'm Loosely following this pattern.

Here is a photo (above) of my organised, what row?,post it/note-let

My notes as I go, so I know exactly/knew exactly Where I actually am, in following the pattern.(oh yes I do!) So Far so good!

NOT (As Borat would say)

All is not as organised, as it seems......

My squiggle is because, Hap hazard notes mean I'm lost more than I'm found.

This is why I'm mostly free form.

What does it all mean?

k2 skip one la la la, star to end.........It's just all to much

So I'll play with paint shop to make this post look more interesting.

At this point in the pattern

It says that I should have 91 stitches!!!! and I actually have........

Current count 112

Oj oj oj

Frog it! or just continue......(tough one)

I say continue

After all,I have come this far.

Winter dress progress

I have framed my perfect little stitches.

Perfection;-)

Autumn inspiration in Stockholm

The End of a knitastic Week

My knits on route to the Kulturfestival by Tram & train, Rich helped me with the mannequins;-)

VHS dress in a bag, carefully packed as its quite crushable.
On way to it's grand finale.......
The Sticka Verissage at the Kulturehuset.

Gunilla and Carin ,my Hurtig's Tuesday knit cafe buddie's.

Man knitting
I feel a pretty rare site , so I asked if I could take his picture. He was very happy, pretty relaxed as his dog. I cant image my pup will ever be able to do this! K,I,P that is.....;-(

Sigun(Gino's and knit lab knit cafe buddie)
In the back ground you can just see Helen the organisers her rainbow free-form shawl, quiet lovely.

VHS dress

My picture not so good for the debut, but the dress went down very well.
One guy said that "I was very inventive", the dress attracted a lot of attention.

Curiosity I guess?

I like to watch peoples faces the experienced knitters unsure of my creations.

(free-form/not the norm!)

The elderly dears come to touch and check the quality of my crochet, with a smile on there faces, it's not to everyone liking but pretty much a thumbs up from most.

For the future

I think that if it spends to much time on show, that it would have to have a sign unfortunately saying "not to touch", as just everyone had to have a feel.

Realistically it's pretty breakable, but for yesterday it did well. A shining example of my knitted Art;-).

Some blog entry's about the festival knitting adventure.
