Extreme knitting
My, it's a busy old time.
A couple of weeks ago I received an e-mail mentioning extreme knitting needles. What? I thought.
Okay, cue some googling and an 'Oh' and 'Ah' and a 'must try this' kind of moment. I dug out some lovely 10mm bamboo (super lovely to work with) needles I had bought a few years ago in a moment of weakness and started experimenting.
I absolutely love this type of knitting – using several yarns at the same time it's possible to combine colours to make your very own colour scheme and texture. Fabulous. I must admit that I got quite carried away and the results are now on Etsy!
I've been making lots of bags too and still sorting out my next batch of corset designs. I'm planning on launching a little 'collection' during the next month so I'm trying to rationalise the ideas I have and create a cohesive look rather than being swept along with the scattergun of things I like.
