Recycled Piece

I bought a top on charity shop and made a knitted extension on it with some barcain special yarn with cotton and flax. I used a needle to made the starting edge and then I used EU 3mm-6mm-8mm-10mm circular knitting needles to add widht without adding stitches. The knitted fabric is very nice and smooth, but unraveling wasn't good for the flax- cotton blend because the different fibres unwind and strech.

Undyed vs dyed

I have been dyeing Viking Naturgarn with Kool Aid and used the yarn on this leaf pattern. The dark gray is same yarn type in natural dark gray. Both are knitted garments. The dark gray is made in garter stitch with EU 6mm circular needles, the dyed piece is made with EU 10mm circular needles. The leaf pattern is from a Russian knitting book Bol'shaya kniga.

Tunisian Time

I recent sending stuff about unfinished objects but here you see a nice pictorama of my dearest Tunisian projects.



The yellow one is becoming a coat and the blue-green one is a old shirt I'm turning to a jacket with some Tunisian decorations. The yellow coat is made of skinny wool yarn with a EU 5mm Tunisian hook. I started by making a square and then I made a square next to it and went working around until I had a square large enough to become a back piece. Then I hooked sideways leaving armholes. The decorations on the shirt are made with some special yarn with gold and turqoise. I experimented with the Tunisian stitch to creat lacy effect.
