...and I have always loved to make something, it could be baking buns for breakfast, a very unhealthy cake with load of whipped cream...haha... or just a nice meal.
....oh yes, and my crafts.... I don't think I could live without my sewing machines, my knitting and crochet needles and all the other stuff I have, such as buttons, thread, stickers, laces, zippers and so on....
...and another thing...
I put up photos on Facebook on my site called VibbesWorld, and the best part of that is, that people send me photos, asking if I can make this or that.... and I I love a challenge (and I easily get bored, if it is the same thing I will have to do over and over - all though I made a blanket of grannysquares once...long time ago.....)
I just delivered at special hat to a friend yesterday. He sent me this photo of a Scottish Tam and "accidently" I had some nice wool from the Faroe Islands at my storage in the attic, so I started at once:
This was the photo I got from him, and I found the pattern on the net, my luck I can read the english patterns, though I am Danish!
The yarn was as thin as sewing thread, so I knitted with 5, and it was tangling all up, during, until I found a way to separate them by putting each skein in a bowl. The result looked like this.......but
It wasn't quite finished yet. I had to felt it. It is not that easy to see the actual fabric/material on the photo but this was the reason. First knit, then felt.
I did that by hand in almost boiling water and soap and lots of hard rubbing!!!!!!
At the end I threw it into the washing machine to make it felt into the measurements iI wanted.
And here you have the result... I delivered it yesterday, and I can tell you it looked great on the happy recipient.
Now the next projects are waiting:
 |
| A cardigan, kitchen cloths, which I always bring in my handbag, and a Mermaid throw for a 7 year old |
 |
| and I have also cut out fabric for 3 t shirts and 3 shirts for my son |
You see, I am never bored.... take care until next time.....
