This is the thread where we post pictures of stuff we've made that we're proud of maybe.

Could be cakes, jewellery, knitting, spice racks, cars or anything!

Let's go...

I did just make this Ferrari-clone. Don't have pictures of it though.

Well...

So there's this girl I'm crushing on (sssshhh!!!) and I made her this badge because she likes stars and purple, pink and red.

Will give it to her next time I see her.

Is that a penguin wearing a space helmet?
And why do you need all those books?

No. However the platypus on the left is wearing a fedora hat.

And why do you need all those books?

See response #3 on this thread

I saw that thread and that's why I said that! Now I know why ned defends himself with the winky.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 15 November 2003 11:12 (twenty-two years ago)

That last sentence was posted just to see if Dan was around.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 15 November 2003 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

― zappi (joni), Saturday, 15 November 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I finished this last weekend...it was supposed to be a scarf but kind of evolved into a throw. I still like it a lot, the yarn is beautiful.

why not, jbr?

I haven't painted much at all this year, everything comes out a little dark at the mo.

and my scanner ain't so great...

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 16 November 2003 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Great scarf, teeny! I'm in the middle of knitting one, too, but it is my first knitting project ever and I didn't know that if you only do stockinette that the thing curls INTO ITSELF. So it looks kind of limp and raggedy.

― Mandee (Jerrynipper), Sunday, 16 November 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

block it and/or do seed stich all around the outside when you're done...at least that's what I've read. That was my first scarf thingy and I didn't know what I was doing but it turned out. I am trying to learn how to purl now and it's fucking with my head!!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 16 November 2003 18:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay knitting! I learned to knit and purl at the same time--it must be confusing to learn one and then the other. One easy thing for scarves as a beginner is to purl the whole thing, which doesn't curl. I think it's purling, I don't even have the terminology straight. I usually do projects where you alternate so it doesn't matter which is which. I knit a sweater which I'm all proud of, I'll post a pic when I can get it hosted. I'm doing a baby blanket right now but I don't seem to remember how to cast on, which poses a problem.

I like the painting, jel.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 16 November 2003 22:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Teeny, I couldn't for the life of me learn how to purl from the pictures I saw (like on instruction manuals and such)... but after messing around with it for a few weeks I finally figured it out. It's like the knit stitch except completely backwards. GAH I hate not being able to demonstrate!! Next project I want to do is a poncho. That looks tuff, though.

― mandee (Jerrynipper), Sunday, 16 November 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm finally getting the hang of it, thanks for the sympathy! These big photos helped. It's still taken me all day just to do a sample swatch. I have a ridiculously large ball of fishermans' wool so I want to make something all about texture rather than color.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 16 November 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

also apparently I've been twisting my stitches until now. I don't see why this is so horrible, but I'm trying to relearn the correct way.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 16 November 2003 23:47 (twenty-two years ago)

who sanded and stained that wood?

grrrrrr usurper of effort!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 17 November 2003 01:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, block the stockinette. Or knit a scarf as a tube on circular needles! A garter, rib, or seed stitch might be better for a scarf, as it will be the same on both sides.

I found out my landlord has a digital camera, so once she's back from Ireland, maybe I can borrow it. I finished knitting my doll dress, I just have to sew it together (yuck yuck). Maybe I can get my knitting clubs to help.

teeny, have you read any of Barbara Walker's books? They have lots of patterns.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 17 November 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Scarves-as-tubes are much warmer for being double layered, I love those.

I was looking at some knitting sites and it seems like I twist my knit stitches too. Things come out looking fine, and at this point I don't want to bother to relearn.

The sweater I knit: (took me YEARS, and still needs to be blocked)

Wow, Julia, that's amazing!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 17 November 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Jel, that looks like crumpled velvet, what us ut?

― mei (mei), Monday, 17 November 2003 07:29 (twenty-two years ago)

mr telecom needs to give credit where credit is due--i am mightily offended.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 17 November 2003 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Ppl really like knitting round here don't they?

― mei (mei), Monday, 17 November 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

(thanks Orbit!)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 17 November 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Julia, that's awesome! I suck at finishing and blocking.

I did finally finish a bikini top. Maybe there will be a picture.
