Any pics ready?

Ha and more than a month after this post, still none and they are all on my old computer now which is rather disappointing.

Digging this thread out of the high past to show off my new scarf. It's the first thing I've ever knitted before, and apart from a few flaws, I consider it to be pretty good.

It's longer than that; more like 8 feet. The original strips were about 10 feet each, but when I sewed them together, they shrank.

I'm now working on an iPod sleeve.

That's really neat, DiGs! (At first I thought you'd done the stripes lengthwise, so they were super long and only a few rows and my mind was totally boggled but then I woke up and realized that they must have been short rows and lots of them. ) I bet the iPod sleeve will work up really quick in comparison.

Actually. . . you were right the first time. The whole scarf is only made of five strips. So the strips are like 8 feet by 1.5 inches.

Which way did you knit? The length-side? (The 1.5 in.) If not, I'm very much in awe of the needles used for the 8 ft! Did you use a pattern, or was is just freestyle?

Also, very very lovely for a first time! *cheers*

My first project, a few years back, was a very very crooked-rowed purse. I kept increasing and decreasing my stitches without realizeing it! And the gauge was sometimes too tight... And my first swatch/piece of knitting resembled more of a doily, the stitches were so loose.

Yeah. . . . 8 foot knitting needles would be quite the sight to see . I did the length side, which was a total of six stitches on size 10 needles.

Nope, it was just freestyle.

I will hopefully finish my iPod cover today

that's a really nice scarf Digs, (oh and an amazing chair ) I like the combination of colors.

post a picture of your iPod cover when your done (please )

Finished the iPod cover tonight REALLY pleased with the way it turned out.

Does that image work for everyone?

This was insanely easy to make. . . . I feel like I could whip one out every two days and sell 'em

really nice Digs A nice color combination, did you plan it out or use colors randomly?

I'm working on knitting a sweater for my nephew, but it's coming along really slowly. I'm hoping to have it finished over the weekends, cause I know my older sister is waiting for me to get it done, as my nephew needs a warm sweater cause the weather has gotten cold

The colour combination was actually in the yarn itself. . . it was multicoloured yarn (I had to buy it when I saw that they were almost Ravenclaw colours ).

I really wanna see pics of your progress on the sweater, wild rose!

Thank you JoHobbit, and it's good to see that this thread is still up and running!

Ok, so I've been gone for a while but while I've been gone I've been sewing like a right maniac so that means PICS and lots of them. I will show a small selection for now since I'm at school and will post more once I smileyfy myself through the power of MS paint. Also I have no clue how to resize these things so my apologies to the mods if they eat the page

Project 1: Apple-green circle skirt (for sale)



Project 2: Audrey-Hepburn inspired dress (for myself) as seen on the hanger:



MORE TO COME SHORTLY (I hope ).

digging deep deep to find this

unfortunatly, the sweater is taking a loooong time to get done. I finished the body and one sleeve, I need to make the other sleeve and the collar. I'm *hoping* I'll have it done in time for Christmas and then just give it to my nephew as a Christmas present

Ozymandias, wow, I love that skirt, it's totally something I would wear and that's a lovely dress, you sure have talent with sewing.

With the New Years/Christmas season coming up, I've been loaded by my older sister with costume sewing for her younger dance groups (3-6 yrs.) So far I've made 12 skirts and 8 blouses. I've still got to make 10 vests, 2 or 3 more skirts, I've got to make new sleeves for about 10 blouses and about 20 hair elastics...I think that's it . And my sister wants it all done by this Monday I'm not sure I'll make it on time, but maybe some magic powers will come to me....
