I recently bought a fantastic empisal knitting machine, and let me tell you it is BEAUTIFUL!!! I played with nothing else for a week! Just mucking around with tension and different fibers and stuff.
I only actually created one thing (the pumpkin further down.)
I completed two custom beanie orders for Eagles colours. I think they turned out pretty good and my customer was very pleased!
I read through a Knit scene magazine awhile ago, I think it was the spring issue. I came across the "Boscombe Socks" in the deductions section by Lisa Jacobs.
They quickly became my favourite pattern of the issue and I decided I had to have them, (I very rarely make anything for myself).
But I changed them to knee length, just something I've always wanted to have!
I made this on my thrifted semco tapestry loom, I couldn't find any info on the internet about how to use it or anything so I went in a bit blind!
But I think I really pulled it out in the end, my dragon obsession is a bit clear? For those who don't know it is Toothless' symbol from 'How To Train Your Dragon'
This is the aforementioned pumpkin, made as a gift and pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!
Here is a picture of my first voyage into shuttle tatting, not nearly as hard as I'd imagined.
It just takes a bit of practice to remember the motions, I now have to make SIX more to complete the doily.
I think it will be well worth it when I'm finished.
And finally the makings of a childish duffle bag, I can't think of what to do for the next panel though!!! Suggestions?
