S is for... Scarf

Today is an S day.

 

Well, that's not entirely true,

however...

 

I am playing along with Katy from

nobigdill.com as she

sews through the 26 letters of the alphabet &:

 

This week's overdue stitches are inspired by the letter "S".

 

 

If you are a purest, I have forsaken you.

Arguably crochet and knit

don't fall into the sewing category

so perhaps I'm cheating.

 

It isn't the first time,

it won't be the last.

 

 

I'm adopting the rules of Fight Club

The first rule : There are no rules.

 

Ok, maybe that's NOT an actual

rule of fight club, but if I were to start a

craft version of Fight Club,

that would be my t-shirt.

 

Sidebar:

Ninja's would totally be welcome in

my craftastic fight club.

 



 

Well why not?

Just like every other group

there are probably some real

Ninja jerks,

but also some excellent Ninja future friends.

Just waiting for a hug.

 

It's possible this post is more relevant

to Ninja's or people contemplating a

future career in Ninja skills training

than Stitchers.

 

That being said,

just in case you're not here for that,

I used Delia's pattern for my purple friend above

and it was painless, easy and quick...

 

Just like a Ninja assassination.

(full circle).

 

 

 



Phat Gratification

I love a little large and in charge for quick and easy knitting.

It's a speedy little shrug that I did without a pattern.

(a pattern would have improved it greatly, undoubtedly)

Big needles and chunky wool.

Check out the cheese-dog face on the mannequin?!

I covered the buttons with the newest Etsuko F fabric

And this shot is the closest approximation of the actual colour

of the giant washcloth I'm going to wrap myself in.

It could be warn a variety of ways:

Figure 8 scarf (which is everywhere these days),

shrug,

or as above-

struggling beauty queen sash.

Knit & Purl

Even I can handle that!

Really, this is just another excuse to wear my bed out in public.

Check out the shortest one heading out of dodge before her

twisted mother tries to drape something on her

and call it a shrug!


I'm linking to Make it and Wear It today

Baby it's Cold Out Here

There's a chill in the air

and I'm in cozy mode

One scarf for Nu.

One for The Sweetie

& one for Pu,

who is really proud of cutting with scissors these days

Oh Yah!



Swirly Twirly Scarf

More recycled projects!

This was made from off cuts from my reclaimed t shirt skirts 

I love this spiral scarf from annekata

A terrible snap, but you get the idea.
