next

now that thanks to kal2 i can produce wearable items i have a lineup. knit styles  are basically crews,

turtlenecks. boat necks and cardis. then you can make them oversized, normal and painted on body tight. sleeves come in various shapes but at this stage in the game let's say they only come in drop shoulder fashion . so far the gauge sample, but this one has the intention of a cardi. if all goes well i'm hoping to knock off the one hirose suzu wears in the netflix j drama i'm watching as i mentioned.i bought some big sporty zippers at a great notions shop in kyoto and i'm sparing myself from knitting buttonhole bands.

monoprinting

on a bad hair day.we're contemplating a big item and it's been somewhat stressful. things are going to work out however and monoprinting is like camping out on a sunny beach. thinking about working more with lines and monoprinting.

it went

well after all the predicaments. shoulders joined and first sleeve as well. will come back for full regalia. one thing that is puzzling is that i intrdoduced the gauge and numbers given in the pattern and the program i love to hate gives me some odd results. if i follow what the pattern and the kal videos  say  it does come out without problems.the program gives some weird decreases on hold whereas the pattern instructions say decrease by putting on hold 1 stitch every row 11 times.

would have thought that numbers were absolutes. there must be something that escapes me.
