February 2012

Sorry about missing January. what I have been working on  is completing the DVD I have so now I have 8 volumes. I will up date my list shortly.

One of the DVD I did was re-purposing a sweater. Back in 2006 when I started with the Ultimate Sweater Machine. I made a pullover. I loved the color (a real pretty green) but when I got it done. The sleeves were too long and the collar was too wide, so I did not wear it too often.

I decided back in January to re-purpose it. So I took the sweater apart (I used Redheart Yarn) and re-knitted it doing it as a cardigan. I have worn the sweater more often in the past 3 weeks than I ever did since 2006.  This is what it did look like, I will post a photo as soon as I locate it.  Now it is a cardigan with a darker green trim and a shirt type collar.

What have I been doing

Just a short note to let you know the I am still around, I am making mittens to go on my next DVD that I am creating, I am playing with my new garter bar from KrisKrafter, which is absolutely wonderful. can't say enough about it. It make decreasing so much easier, the tines do not move on you like the hand made ones do. Believe my I have made my share of homemade garter bars. the KrisKrafer does not even compare.  I plan on a few short videos for youtube using the garter bar. So stay in touch. I will try and do the same.
