Knit kit tutorial

Knit Kit Complete!

So where were we!

So many things have happened since I last posted.....

Let's finish the scarf first though.
Now you have cast on your stitches, 160 makes a nice length.

All you do is knit each row until you have knitted one or two rows from the last colour on the ball.

Then cast off. Again you can see tutorials of this on utube better than I can describe. One hint though is to cast off loosely.
Try some of these:-cast off utube

And the biggest news is (drum roll!) I've completed my Zip up cardi......

Sorry it's very late in the evening! It's knitted up in this Wool Clasica

It's gorgeously soft and snuggly!

It still needs buttons on the neck and hip bands..debating which to use! I WILL be wearing it tomorrow!

Right off to bed.

Thanks for visiting, take care!

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

A little this and that tactics going on!!

So little time to keep up! Isn't this a beautiful brooch...straight copying from a Royal School of Needlework book on Stump work by Kate Sinton...this adorns my winter coat and I'm constantly receiving compliments. One of the reasons I am trying to teach myself Stump work is using the technique for a book I have had in my mind for years...years! So far I have several sketches of scenes within the story....I have made a start on the cover... Its finished but not complete as I have to wait for the measurements from the completed pages...I love it from its layered fabrics to the printing ink colour and the hundreds of hand stitching...and Shisha mirrors! I have my Introduction page finished too. Here's a detail image of the capital letter... So next came a Forest scene...this was my first choice to do as I 'thought' (!) it would be an easy one to start as I knew the techniques I wanted to use...here's the sketch for the page....
