Lately, I've been picking up the needles more and more! Not that I didn't knit and crocheted and nalbound as much as I used to do, but well, I just thought 'hey, let's share some new stuff'.
So here are some pictures I made with my phone, over the last few weeks. I've been trying out more, and made more, but mostly I just forget to take a picture
First, some knew knitting stuff. It's still just a start, but I learned this technique only yesterday when a friend came over to visit and showed me the scarf she was working on. She has just learned knitting a few weeks ago, but all ready is some knifty knitster
In Dutch (or maybe rather French), this type of knitting is called 'ajour' and Google Translate says that it's called ' lace knitting' in English (but I'm not so sure).
It's actually way more simple then one might think, seeing the result.
Though this purple thing began as a swatch, I decided to make it into a scarf for the gal who thought me the technique because she claimed she loved the colour so much
Second, some mini-projects I started. A few weeks ago, on the very last real summerday, I had to lay down on the couch all day because I was so sick I became dizzy when I got up to make some tea... But it's really hard to sit around and do nothing (besides watching series and reading a book) all day, so I though 'hey, let's try this amigurumi thing'.
I've seen some fantastic fantasy-animal-stuff lately, here and on other places on the Web.
Here is my take on it:
This is the first one I made, not finished yet, but almost there.
This is the second one I made, and I just love the thingy on the head. It still needs some good eyes and such.
So, I want to show you more but I don't have any more pictures.... but as soon as I have them, I'll share
