1  KNITTING / Knitting: Completed Projects / Vintage knitted collar on: September 27, 2012 08:13:07 AM
A little while back I made a detachable lacy collar from Claire Montgomerie’s Knitting Vintage.

It was a really straightforward pattern, and is perfect for using up the last half ball of wool.

My original images are on my old laptop... but I did manage to put them up on my blog before they disappeared.



Full pics are here:

Has anyone else made this/other detatchable collars?
2  KNITTING / Knitting: Completed Projects / Military-style jacket on: February 21, 2012 02:28:02 PM
As part of my Christmas knitting I decided to knit my two and a half year-old nephew a jacket to keep him snuggly warm, but which also looked nice.

A month earlier I'd spotted the FOs hung-up at the stall where the pattern books were being sold and I fell in love there and then. I knew I had to make it.

Sorry about the rubbish quality of pic, but here it is:




For the record he loved it Grin

3  KNITTING / Knitting: Completed Projects / Sparkly capelet on: September 27, 2011 07:58:42 AM
It's been soooo long since I last posted here *slaps wrist* and with one thing and another (studying, post grad studying, job hunting etc etc) it's been a while since I knitted properly.

Anyway - I decided to branch out and knit something other than a scarf/hat/mittens and saw this little beauty in Vintage gifts to knit (Town & City tufted cape by Susan Crawford) and knew I had to have a go.

And here it is - modelled by yours truly (I'm no model, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like)

Front.... again

It was a fairly quick knit and I'm really pleased with how it's come out - comments/thoughts?

Anyway down to business.... mine and my friend's 20th birthday are a day apart so we're going to have a joint birthday "do". We're going to go into bars/clubs in fancy dress. The only requirement is that you dress up either as something beginning with "H" or "L" (the first letters of our names). We only decided on it tonight - and we have til the end of march :p we had a go at coming up with some stuff - I just wondered if any of you crafty lot had any ideas.....

H

Nelson (Horatio)
Hulk Hogan
Hobnob (I think this is what I'm planning to go as! As long as I can be a chocolate one! I have some brown leggings and plan to make a huge cardboard thing that goes over my shoulders - ideas anyone?)
Hells Angels
Hot air balloon
Hobo
Human rights activist(!)
Head of state - ie King or Queen

L
Lightbulb
Lemming
Lion
Leopard
Leper
Leprechaun

We got tired after a while - we're gonna get a dictionary tomorrow (instead of revision for our exams!)

Any ideas welcome!!!
5  KNITTING / Knitting: Completed Projects / Sparkly arm warmers WARNING: IMG heavy ;) on: January 24, 2007 02:24:32 PM
Well, I'd seen quite a few arm warmers that I'd liked the look of on Craftster. So when it came to me doing some leafleting in November/December in the UK (which means it's super cold!) I knew I had to have some - that would keep my arms/hands warm whilst leaving my fingers free to leaflet (they also had to be pretty) hence the choice of yarn - enjoy!
Action shot:-

Left arm:-

Right arm:-

Close up so you can see the sparkles:-

Proof there's two(!)

Yet another shot!

Hope you like! (Excuse the state of my room!)
6  KNITTING / Knitting: Discussion and Questions / Could someone please help re-size this pattern? on: January 07, 2007 08:13:36 AM
I saw this free pattern a while ago whilst looking at this post --> http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=100694.0
I knitted them (and was very pleased with the result) the only thing was - they were INCREDIBLY small, I was wondering if someone could resize the pattern slightly - just a little bit bigger so that i could make them for a slightly older baby.
Thanks for looking - I hope there's someone out there who can help! x
7  KNITTING / Knitting: Discussion and Questions / knitted monkey! on: October 05, 2006 02:37:18 AM
hi! i have a friend who is OBSESSED with monkies (don't ask!) and I quite fancy making her a knitted one for christmas (yes i know i'm early). I did search for a pattern, but couldn't seem to find one. Anyone know of any? Am I being dozy looking in the wrong place?
Either way - if you know of anything, please let me know... you'd make my friend very happy! Cheesy
8  KNITTING / Knitting: Discussion and Questions / Gauge help needed :) on: September 05, 2006 10:28:34 AM
I posted in the completed projects board about a pair of baby booties i made --> http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=102116.0

it's a great pattern, although the booties are incredibly small (obviously due to the fact that they are for newborns - 3 months).
I was just wondering if some clever crafter(s) could help me scale them up a little bigger.. i.e. I'm not sure which bit to scale up or by how much.... Huh
any help would be appreciated - thanks!  Smiley
9  KNITTING / Knitting: Discussion and Questions / Leg Warmers.... technicality... :) on: August 15, 2006 10:27:35 AM
Hi - just seen the new edition of elle (uk) and legwarmers were a feature. it was knitted love at first sight. I think i get the gist of knitting in the round.. just a couple of questions..
(1) how many stitches do you reckon would be enough? (i have pretty "regular" size ankles/legs!)
(2) Not really a question... but can someone explain the whole dividing stitches across the 3 needles (i think i read somewhere that it had to be a particular no - divisible by 3/4) Huh
thanks for your help Grin
