I've finished mine... I found it quite quick and easy...I'm not a particular good knitter...I knit continental, was wondering if this pattern might be easier for that way of knitting?

Anyway,I'm happy with it and my Mom will like it...
so here are some (hopefully motivating) pics for you guys...





Hang in there...

13  Re: ghetto blaster transfer (Tutorial) in Other Image Reproduction Techniques: Completed Projects by redgreen on: November 26, 2006 04:15:46 AM

Ok, so here's the tutorial, it's super quick and CHEAP...(the images are not very good, but you get the idea)

Sooo... you need:
-some light material ( i think you can use just about any type of material but the image will always turn out slightly different)
-genuine turpentine (I tried substitutes, they don't work)
-duck tape or something to fix the image
-a spoon and a brush

and of course an image, b&w or colour, it needs to be printed on a laser jet printer or simply photocopied



-tape the image upside down onto your material
and brush turpentine onto the image, do this with Windows open, as the fumes are very strong
 


now start rubbing the image onto the material, do this at first only with the round side and then the edge, being careful not to tear the paper



Repeat this a couple of times, putting more turpentine on and rubbing all over the image.
Now peel off one side and check if the image has transferred strongly enough, otherwise keep going.

You can also layer a number of images
I found the image starts to fade a little bit in the washing machine, but I quite like that...

14  ghetto blaster transfer (now with Tutorial) in Other Image Reproduction Techniques: Completed Projects by redgreen on: November 24, 2006 02:45:50 PM
This shirt wasn't exactly stencilling, more image transfer...

I just printed the picture with a laser printer and transfered the pic with turpentine onto the shirt.
It makes a really nice effect, kind of vintage and its MASHINE WASHABLE, no problem at all...


one corner bled out a bit, no idea why...
