knot and knit

My latest obsession = finger knitting.
Just in time to make summery bracelets.

Bumped a couple of weeks ago in a store into a Zpagetti ball.
And one thing leading to another I ended up at Vanessa's tutorial for finger jersey knitted bracelets. Watch her video at the bottom.
Reg found this tutorial on finger knitting and being the slow learner that I am, I had to get helped by this one in French.
The technique/result varies slightly provided you loop back above all your fingers or swirve back between fingers.

(four finger version)

Still have to try :

- head pieces with longer ties.
- mixing differents fabrics.
- not ending up not chocking my fingers with far too tight a noose :-)
- trying it with tricotin knitted wool/threads
- cutting fabric from an old t-shirt

Ideas...

Just back after another visit of our home...and finally able to show you a bit of my closet. Tieing my scarves on an unsued walking closet rod and by doing so, creating a closed area behind to hide luggage....Clever, isn't it? Not from me....I got the idea from TjMaxx.
Makes me think I would really like to know what people think of you by just looking at your clothes...I have recently realized I own scarves and cardigans in approximately all the colours of the rainbow....

Another good idea I could use right now is a 'find-me-right-now-that-b***dy-thing device'. You know, the kind of remote that finds you whatever it is you have lost in your home...a camera charger for instance.... Feel free to pattern it, you who will make it....btw I'll probably borrow your prototype....

Oh Joy! Amy (Butler) just sent me an email announcing her new yarn collection.
-yes, of course she sent it herself!

Anyway, the pumkin and its unexcepted colour stole the show for me...

and so did the simple yet brilliant braided yarn scarf.
Makes me wanna have one for this winter (understand ask my private knitter/Mum to kindly make me one!!!!)

Six pack

This is the reason I've been delaying posting pix lately. As if this could make up for it...
The long awaited baby has finally arrived....
Its name is Canon. middle name: Eos.
