knitting

I've been knitting a fair bit lately while I've been watching dvds (Supernatural and Gilmore Girls, I'm a bit obsessed wtih both). I can only do a basic knit stitch and I can't read patterns so I've just been making scarfs. It's pretty relaxing.


This is a scarf that I've made out of a printed 8 ply acrylic. It reminds me of camoflage. Pink camo. :D


One of my works in progress.
I keep starting new scarfs beause I just can't always keep my attention on one set of colours and get a better idea for another scarf. I also found a heap of wool in the trailerload of crap that my parents brought down to me a few weeks ago. I've currently abandoned this scarf twice and I'm working on what I'm calling "the icecream scarf".

My sister has requested that I make her a yellow and black scarf like the bad guy from Where's Wally? and Sasuke wants me to make him a baby pink and baby blue scarf to make his Jimmy Eat World shirt that I plan on stealing when he moves in with us.

I'm still buying fabric and not doing anything with it.


These two are my most recent purchases. The skulls are what is called "boxer cotton" and was found in the sleepwear fabric section at spotlight. The zebra print is a cotton drill. My favourite kind of fabric to work with.

I keep getting distracted by the discount patterns at work.


I can see amazing things in this one. I've just been picturing some of the printed cottons I've got stashed away and I'm drooling.


This one I bought yesterday. For the loose pants. I've got some tiger print flannel that I bought years and years ago for a dollar a metre (so I've got heaps) and for years I've been meaning to make some pj pants out of it. Now I have the pattern. I told my housemate Emily about this pattern and she's pretty excited for new pj pants too.

I've only ever sewn with a domestic pattern once. So it should be interesting.

I've really been doing a whole load of nothing lately. Been a bit stressed and lazy. And a bad swap partner :(.
