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!

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...

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...

Is ma hair alright?!

More City & Guilds Module snippets!

The course with the The School of Stitched Textiles really allowed me to move out of the comfort zone. You know the course is so varied in content there is no room to get complacent. For instance this print below. The brief was use an artist style to design a Print. This stops you, it did in my case (!), from falling into the designs you usually come up with. I used Paul Klee's Full Moon (1919). I did manage to make the stencil achieve a border repeat and made a Lino cut stamp for the tree. Fun and challenging! Another, Module 7, had us making beads, buttons, tassels, braids and edgings to fabric panels...loads! I personally love these fabric bell tassels on hand made cord. I believe the design comes from India... Here's some of the other tassels that were the least unwieldy to fit into my Module 7 Sample fabric book! This is a Lantern! The base fabric is Organdie. Fun was had researching into the best fabric stiffener because i have...
