College Work

This Week I have been very busy in college. I'm incorporating knitting into my project. It's a self-directed project and assessments are next week so I'm busy knitting away.

I've taken scraps of the material used in canvas making before its been made and cut into strips. I've sewn these strips together and rolled them into balls.  I'm using my purple US13 needles and knitting 18 rows on 15 stitches. I'm planning on making a large canvas once I have enough squares.  Here's a few of the balls. 

For notebook and experimentation I also knitted with plastic.

This Weekend I have been mostly Extreme Knitting....

Hello.  I gots a pre-Birthday Present from Mammy cos I won't be at home for my Birthday.  Duane and I are going to spend a few days with Mel and Chris. Yay!  

Anyway, the present I got is a book called: The Book of Crafts.  I found a lovely knitting pattern in it for a floor cushion.  So I decided to use the pattern to create my first piece on my new extreme knitting needles.  Margie (Mammy) and I got out our stash of oddments of wool and we merged a few different colours together. I started knitting. Now, the cushion is going to turn out looking like a small beanbag.  I have 1 and more than half squares made so far.
