My creative space

I have taken a couple of days off work to extend the long weekend.

5 days off in total, yay! I will spend as much time as possible
working on all my crafts for the upcoming markets.


Bracelets that need to be finished

And I’m knitting some more bracelets!

Beaded merino cuffs to be finished

And I’m knitting some more cuffs as well!

Yesterday I received a package in the mail. It was from my lovely sister MiA.
She is the most creative person I know and she’s amazingly talented!
She sent me this stunning yarn that she has spun herself. Isn’t she clever?
I know I should have taken the photo while they were still on the beautiful skeins,
but I was too keen to get them ready for knittting!

Check out MiA’s blog, it’s fantastic!

Summer bracelets

Bead-knitted bracelets in bright and happy colours.
Knitted with my handdyed cotton.

Bring on summer!

More to come

Skull brooch

Yep, yet another brooch ready
- a skull with silver beaded teeth.

Isn’t he kinda cute with the fluffy border?
Looks like he’s wearing a fluffy hoodie!
He could be one of the characters in South Park!

So what have I been up to this week?

Well, I have finished three brooches:

Hello Kitty

Space Invaders

Oooops...

Still have to finish the merino cuffs with skulls...

...and the new ones with a frill. I really like this new pattern!

And I’m working on a beanie, made of my hand-dyed cotton

Ooops, too late...

For a long time I’ve been planning to join My creative space.

A website where crafters show what they are working on every Thursday.
I like it!

This morning I took some photos but I didn’t have time to blog them.
I sat down to do it tonight and... ooops... it was to late...
The collection had already closed...

Next Thursday I will get up earlier in the morning. Today I create my own

My creative space

I’m working on an embroidered Hello Kitty
that I will turn into a brooch

I’m knitting another ring. There will be heaps of them at the next market!
Thanks MiA for the tip and thanks Sofia for sharing the idea!

And I’m knitting yet another pair of cuffs. They look really boring so far, I know,
but they will get a frill at the end that will be finished with golden beads. Cute!

These WIPs will be finished and for sale at the next market
Devonport Craft Market

Golden skulls

Well, the space invaders went down really well,
so I decided to continue exploring some new patterns.

Golden skulls

And I reused this Inca-inspired pattern,
that I knitted many (oh, so many...) years ago.
