And it starts all over again...

Well its that time again; new semester, new modules, new promises.

Been quite busy lately so hence the lack of posts, but later I shall upload some updates of my recent knitting works. The fun I've had with a knitting nancy and the scarf I am currently knitting to beat this cold January weather!!!

Have fun returning to uni and work guys!

Finger Knitting...

Finger Knitting is one of the easiest Knitting techniques out there, I strongly recommend if you've never done it before you give it a go! Its a lot of fun!!!
I have found this tutorial on youtube for all you beginners who may not be totally sure how you do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3LKAlDz9ig
This is just one of the many pieces I have created, I knitted this one yesterday afternoon! I really do enjoy the colours of this particular piece, the purples and reds work really well together. The brighter red, may be slightly too bright but we all learn from our mistakes and I shall be sure to keep the tones correct next time! The two ends of the piece, which could be used as a thin scarf or belt, I believe are really successful in the colour and yarn choice. Perhaps next time I will incorporate a totally different texture yarn to produce a different quality of knit.

Again, apologies for the quality of the photograph! I'm working on finding my camera as soon as possible!

Knitting Nancy Fun...

When I was younger I never had a Knitting Nancy, its something I've wanted to go back to and test out what I missed during my younger days! I went out, bought one and have had so much fun learning to use it...creating bracelets with the knitting nancy has become a very keen interest of mine in the past few days. 

It has certainly kept me entertained during breaks from revision... go on treat yourself, it'll keep you occupied for hours - especially during this month of exams and deadlines! Take a break and Knit something fun :) Youtube have tutorials on how to make flowers shapes out of the knitted tubes the knitting nancy produces. 

Apologies for the not so great quality of the image, I appear to have misplaced my camera so I'm having to use my phone for the moment until it appears or I manage to get a new one!

Happy New Year...

Well its that time of year again, one year ends and another begins! 

Resolutions and promises made that always end up broken...

Oh Well, another year it is! 

Happy New Year Everyone, Hope 2011 brings you a fabulous year :)

And for all you Artists and Designers out there...I hope it brings a successful and creative year! Lets see some masterpieces!!!
