Stashalong week 4

Not an awful lot this week. I have been concentrating on other things, namely finishing my clapotis.



I have used 2 totally different coloured skiens one is more purply and the other is more blue, you can just tell the difference if you look closely at the image, IRL it is so much more obvious.

I have also this weekend gone taken part in a bank holiday challenge, it was to knit a full sized garment in the time between friday evening an monday evening. And this was as far as I got.



And this is what I am making




Its out of june last years simply knitting, I think I have probably cast on the wrong size but I will see the project through eventually.

Anf finally, the results of last weeks stashalong. I think I have lost my flair a little after such a good start, the number of items I've made has dwindled, but at the same time I have been making much larger items.

Results of stashalong week 3

Not much knitting this week, have been making lots of jewellery so knitting has fallen by the wayside for much of the week.

The results for this week, the first 4 are made from brightdyes yarn, the strippy one is made from 3 discountinued colours of jaeger matchmaker merino and the final soaker is made from british breeds yarns. The last 2 still need the ends sewing in.







I have alsomade very little progress on this months socks



I have also started a clapotis, have finished one skien of yarn. Have increased it up to 59 stitches and plan to use 2 skiens of hip knits silk, though think after seeing just the one knitted up I don't think it will be long enough. The shade is Blueberry.




And then to my beads, also an a quest to use some of my stuff up.





3 bookmarks using tibetian silver butterflies and faceted plastic beads on silver plate bookmark and findings.





2 memory wire bracelets, one made with plastic dice, the other with an array of different glass beads.






A pile of stitchmarkers, mobile phone charms and earings, all made with glass bead and silver platee. The earings are lampwork beads.








A pile of charm bracelets using moon hearts, tibetain silver beads and some dice again on silver plate.

And last but not least some necklaces made with lion tail, crimps some plastic faceted beads and lampwork beads. I love the result even though they haven't come out as I had first thought they would.
