We finally got hooked up to the Internet yesterday!
This is me as seen through the eyes of The Teen. She used the Sketchbook X app to create this moment of frustration and happiness rolled into one pic.
What am I up to in the land of hooky?
Hooky Inspiration
Two beaded bangles I bought in Dubai many years ago from a South African stall.
The Idea
A throw reflecting these pretty bangles. I used the amazing doceri app on my iPad to fill in the squares with my chosen colours to get an idea of the end-product.
The design is by Pertinitaco from the Crocheting my Brains out blog. I love that blogtitle so by the way. Head over and check out her title and masthead!
The Work In Progress
I am using my beloved Vinnis Nikkim Colours, hand-dyed 100% cotton in colours Stone, Midnight, Orange, Lime, Tangerine and Kingfisher.
Cheers! I am logging off now as I am about to upgrade to Windows 8 and wanted to do a blog posting before I explore an exciting new operating system. Have a great weekend!
wow this is going to be a nice throw!
ReplyDelete(I dont App but like the 'plan'!)
It is starting to look lovely!
DeleteGorgeous colours and from such a beautiful source of inspiration! I can't wait to see the result! Kind of a creative junkie myself, I find it hard to focus on any one process for long, so I'm always bouncing around with a bunch of WIPs in the wings. Just found your blog and am totally following!
ReplyDeleteTee hee,I FORCE myself to focus but it is not easy. I also would live to try more subdued colours and work more with interesting textures, but my fingers grab colours each time I plan something.
DeleteWooo I just checked out your awesome blog, jampacked with inspiration and fabulous yarns!
DeleteOoo what a nice prospect. Will see what I can do and welcome here too!
