 Last additions - Catsnhats, on to the hats and what went horribly wrong..... |
Another "what happened" moment9590 viewsOkay, what was in my head isn't what came off the knitting bed. I've been working on improv for this one as well and found buttons shaped like sunflowers, (in Kansas yet!) and will be sewing them on. Not exactly my cup of tea, but if all else fails, I can turn it into a teapot cosy.....hmmm, there's an idea.Feb 06, 2010

Once again not enough of either one8706 viewsBelieve it or not, this is two shade of Navy Blue. Shows ta go ya that navy is in the mind of the beholder. The striping isn't nearly so pronounced in real time. Cameras are very odd toys no?Feb 06, 2010

Those styrofoam thingys are useful but....8344 viewsThey are NOT attractive. I spent some time yesterday cutting strips of old fabric and gluing them to the head form with white glue. So far so good. I intend to give it a couple of coats of spray polyeurethane and call it good.
I'm rather pleased with the improvement.Feb 06, 2010

OKAY, this went horribly wrong7620 viewsI try hard to keep my wool and acrylic yarns separate. This nice dark chocolate brown yarn somehow made it into my wool stash. On a human head, it looks a whole lot like Gilligans' hat....remember Gilligan? *sigh*....my fevered little brain is now working to improvise a solution.
Stand by!Feb 06, 2010
