My current projects have nothing to report at the moment, so I dug up some older ones to flaunt. I was a bit surprised to realise they are all done this year. And they aren´t by far the only ones. Crafty year.
Here´s my masterpiece. I started in January and finished by March, I guess. Portraits are double knit (so there´s a negative image on the backside) and name tags (in Dwarven runes, mind you!) are cable knit with two colours. I made the charts too, so if you´re interested...
This one was actually made last December, as it was a christmas present for my uncle. Why Lenin? It´s a long story that boils down to bad jokes. Double knit again.
I do like double knitting, as you see... This one was made for an awesome Star Wars fan.
And then there´s this. I really enjoyed making and braiding the beard. It was good practise for doll hair... Come winter, my hubby promised to use it. I´m going to make sure he does.
When I wear this thing I look like I´m one of the ZZ Top...
And the dolls. (The big one I bought second hand)
Meet Frodo, Ginny (sitting on the drum), Peter-Johannes, Anna, Raisa, Kauko and Siiri. I intend to make more, and maybe introduce these guys in their own posts.
These gauntlets don´t look much in this picture, but they have nice braided medallion on the back of the hand and around the wrist it says Khazad (dwarf) in cableworked runes.
Some more cablework. This one also says Khazad.
And this one Amralime (my love/I love you). Longer word for a bigger head...
So the big knitting themes of past year have been double knit, cables and dolls. When the mood swings me that way again, I´ll continue with the doll project. There are many national costumes to knit still, and I have some other weird ideas too...
