I have just finished a test for a fellow crochet designer, it is for a barefoot sandal pattern, crocheted with cotton thread. This was a first for me and I was a little bit anxious but it turned out to be easier than I thought.
Anyway, enough words, here’s my first “sandal” finished, Payal: A Mehndi Inspired Barefoot Sandal by Shrone Designs
I’ve just knit these socks as a test for a fellow designer and friend Shirley (Jardinrouge on Ravelry, her designer page is here). I love this pattern! It’s very easy to knit and customizable. I have made the leg part shorter than what the pattern calls for as I wanted a really low pair. I will be knitting more of these with different types of yarn. They are also a super quick knit.
… but still needs blocking.
Lovely project and the Zauberball works really well with this pattern!
This is a test knit I’m doing for the designer. I’m almost done, the pattern will really emerge once the poncho is blocked. I’m loving the Zauberball colours!
Today I finished a test I’m doing for the designer. Not knitting, but crochet. I’m trying to get into crochet so I grab all opportunities to get better.
The pattern is for a hook book, to keep crochet hooks. I thought it would work well for my interchangeable circular needles, so I gave it a go!
It still needs blocking, but it’s finished – and full!
The front has the stripes, the back is all blue. And you can see how full it is in the picture where it’s open…
I love it! It’s such an interesting pattern. Judge by yourselves 🙂
They are made in brioche stitch. It takes more work, but the result is well worth it!
Pattern “Feather Mittens” can be found here.
Moving on with my mittens…
This pattern definitely has an interesting construction.
This is a pair of mittens made with self-striping sock yarn that I’m testing for the designer, the yarn is Regia Best of Effects 2, I think it works perfectly for this pattern. 🙂
