Sea Silk Contest

Remember this?

I purchased this beautiful skein of Sea Silk when I went to Santa Barbara last. Read more about that trip here. I am having a hard time finding the perfect pattern to make with this one skein.

I need your help, so I am going to offer a Sea Silk Contest! If you know of a great pattern using fingering weight yarn please leave a comment with the pattern name (so that I can look it up) or the web address that the pattern can be found.

Be sure to leave your email address or blog address so that I can contact you if you are the winner!

Contest Guidelines:

-All pattern ideas must be submitted by March 1st.

-I am looking for something wearable that will show off this yarn beautifully.
(Ideally I'd like to make a lacy shell or shrug.)

-The pattern must be able to be made with only 400 meters because that is all I have.

-The pattern must contain a picture of the finished item.

-Most importantly there will be a prize for the best suggestion. I will contact you if you are the winner and I will give you a choice between prizes.

I look forward to receiving all of your comments!

Union Jack

I'm currently working on a "Mock Union Jack". Slightly tricky and not as straight forward as the Swedish flag, as that was in rectangles so much easier to work in crochet.
It's going OK so far but we will see
(Also you will notice its not so traditional in colour, using darker shades).
The Swedish flag part is finished now I just need to work on turning it into a dress.

Tot's dress!

Vintage button's my Canadian friend Kim kindly leant me her inherited collection of vintage Nana's button's. To use some in my Art and knit projects and these worked well on my dungaree dress.

Where the project started from........

Crochet experimenting, I was kind of a free-form project which turned into a little girls dress, I was going round in circles crocheting all the stitches that I know/ and making up new ones. I was using three yarns at once and also separately or though It looks like I used a multi yarn.

I'm going to add a thick burgundy red ribbon to the waist band that bows at the back and the buttons needed to be stitched on as they are currently pinned on.
