just finished mine about a week or two ago. i love it! plan to make another [smaller] one though. I did 100st and its still huge. oh well.

i haven't been to a wedding since I was about 12, and was super excited to go to my cousin's wedding a few weeks back. It also gave me a great opportunity to make a dress for the wedding. Without any other random chat, here is my dress. let me know what you think



needless to say, my family was impressed that a 17 year old made this, and i couldn't believe myself either.

and just for fun, a not so awesome picture of me and the family.

don't we look so happy?

So i decided that i really wanted to wear a nice dress to a show this past friday. so thursday evening, i broke out my pattern and fabric i had stored away and went to work. i finished about 30 minutes before going out the door to the show. >.<
now this is probably the quickest dress i have ever made. ever. but i'm absolutely in love with it. hopefully you will be too. here it is. enjoy!

in the 'stitch and bitch nation' book, there is a scarf that i believe is called a cheat cable scarf, or something like that. well, i loved the idea of it, but already bought lion brand wool ease thick and quick for my christmas gift scarfs. what did i do? well i fixed up the pattern of course and loved the results of my even more cheatful cheat cable scarf. so i made one for a friend and this one i just finished for my grand mother, who is going to get it tonight. i thought she deserved one, she did teach me to knit after all..
merry christmas grandma!!


modeled by me. for those who want to know, the scarf itself is about 5 1/2 ft long.


and modeled by my floor.


and a better view of both sides. the back (left) is basically ribbed, but mines a bit wonkey for some reason. and the front is cabled. pretty amazing.

EDIT!!
my grandmother loved it! and now i can continue to create one for myself, but first...

heres the tutorial. i am sorry if it is a bit confusing, but if you are confused, just let me know. ill answer any questions.
also note that this is the first tutorial i've ever made, so be kind.

materials-
size 13 US needles
yarn- lion brand wool ease (you will need 2)

gauge- 9st/4in

CO 13 st

row 1- K1, P2. repeat until one is left on the row, end K1

row 2- p1. heres where it gets confusing. K on the SECOND stitch on the left needle. don't move anything yet. then K on the FIRST stitch on the left needle. pull off those two stitches from the left needle. you should now have 3 st on your right needle. this is what makes your cable. if it helps, you are just making a cable stitch, but not taking any stitches off on a cable needle. after doing those first three stitches, repeat P, K second, K first, until one is left on the row, end P1

continue the row 1[back] and row 2[front] sequence until desired length, and voila! a beautiful new scarf. 

thread revival! just wanted to thank you for the tutorial



i made this for my boyfriend [who has my camera at the moment, so forgive the horrible webcam quality] for christmas, so its huge on me because i added on 12st for his big head. hes going to love it! thanks again for the pattern ^_^

thanks so much for the tutorial. it helped alot. <33

so with the help of gnacissej's tut..http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177602.0

i was able to make my very own hoodie..i think it came out pretty awesome. granted its a bit tiny but awesome none the less


yay, my first hoodie.


oh look, its music notes. how fitting for artistic musical me. <3


and it even has a gigantic hood to hide under.

can you tell i love this hoodie?? let me know what you think too.

if anyone is a fan of my chemical romance, they know helena. if not, go to youtube and search helena. great video. it is probibly my favorite one of all time. so i made the dress for halloween and got my awesome boyfriend to be gerard way. everyone at school loved it.


me and my love


my friend becky, who is basically in love with my sewing. she reminds me often that she wants me to make her all kinds of things. i love her

so what do you all think??

i got the simplicity 3882 pattern during one of those 1.99 pattern sales and then i found this awesome stretch fabric from wal-mart, and i went to work. this was like my "stretch fabric experiment" since i've never really worked with stretch before. all in all, i think it came out pretty good, if i do say so myself. 




with out the belt and leggings. sorry its a bit blurry.


and a typical mahspace photo just because

so? what do you think??

I love the sash! Here's my version of the same top:

thats so cute! everyone who makes something from this pattern always has it come out so cool.

Wow! Love it! where did you get that fabric?

odd enough, i got it in joann's bargain fabrics. it was like $3-ish a yard.
