Now I‘m working around a square with different techniques. A couple of roads of mitered squares using my lovely tweed yarn. </p><p style="text-align: center;">After that I did a celtic motif in fair isle. I steeked it so that I could knit in the round.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Now I must do the same on all three sides of the square.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I am enjoying this a lot because even if it is a huge piece the different techniques are a lot of fun.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a

I wish you all the best for the Feasts.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I am spending much time knitting and doing crochet.</p><p style="text-align: center;">It all began with my following the YouTube videos of Arne and Carlos of Norway. They are my family in this Covid time. I watch them all the time while working on my things and I began doing their knitted squares for a throw. They have the patterns on their blog if you would like to do them.</p><p style="text-align: center;">But then I realized that this throw has about 90 squares and I would be very negletful about posting in my blog if I keep knitting all the time. Also they showed the new ergonomic Prym crochet hooks and I couldn't resist buying them. I love crochet too. Now I had a real problem. Knitting, crochet + felting... Hmm... </p><p style="text-align: center;">And suddently yesterday night I couldn't sleep thinking of all this and I remembered I wanted to do a kind of Medieval big piece. So why not combine all of these techniques inone piece making it my own creation and having fun all along?</p><p style="text-align: center;">Thank you, Arne and Carlos, you wonderful people, for triggering my imagination. I will continue to use some of your blocks and creating my own Medieval ones. It is all about mixing all traditions I love and honour and spending the long Covid months doing something useful and fun.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Here is the beginning of this new history:</p><p style="text-align: center;">I bought the Donegal tweed knitting yarn because I love the quality and the colours. I choose these:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iLqZQkTlZj0/X-NbFPTyHbI/AAAAAAAAKx4/K1nnFO-byo4j90tNTB4yW_aJe9bWPXE6QCNcBGAsYHQ/s864/IMG_20201223_151039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="864" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iLqZQkTlZj0/X-NbFPTyHbI/AAAAAAAAKx4/K1nnFO-byo4j90tNTB4yW_aJe9bWPXE6QCNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_20201223_151039.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I knitted with the double knitting technique, where you have the reverse pattern from the other side of the throw. It is nice to not to have visible flows and it gives the piece a nice finished quality.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UaNkQbeNhJA/X-NcWH8IFUI/AAAAAAAAKyE/w5RcbtvenVM5oMBgPGky8i8l3K6v2NphwCNcBGAsYHQ/s864/IMG_20201223_150900_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="307" data-original-width="864" height="228" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UaNkQbeNhJA/X-NcWH8IFUI/AAAAAAAAKyE/w5RcbtvenVM5oMBgPGky8i8l3K6v2NphwCNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h228/IMG_20201223_150900_2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x92UMgJcOX4/X-NcWPY7OdI/AAAAAAAAKyA/pHHT2fCn8TYAhRUq79rSAijYpN-_4ZNfwCNcBGAsYHQ/s864/IMG_20201223_150922_2%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="299" data-original-width="864" height="222" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x92UMgJcOX4/X-NcWPY7OdI/AAAAAAAAKyA/pHHT2fCn8TYAhRUq79rSAijYpN-_4ZNfwCNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h222/IMG_20201223_150922_2%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">You can see the front with one of my little persons and the back with an appliqué self dyed fabric. This is to cover the back of the embroidery so that you can use the throw from both sides. It would a pity not to see the positive negative effects of the knitting!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Well, these are the first 3 of 90. 87 more to go! But then Covid will keep me at home for some time till spring comes and the woods call me. I don't enjoy that much to walk on icy roads...</p><p style="text-align: center;">Have a peaceful time and I'll keep you informed of the progress.</p>Sara lechnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00054644891427987363noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27607077.post-58435255553483716432020-12-02T11:19:00.002+01:002020-12-02T11:19:48.128+01:00Love at First Sight<p style="text-align: center;"> This is a mixture of patchwork and felting...</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am happy to see that you are following this challenge and either do it already or plan to do it after you finish your Christmas gifts!</p><p>I would like to explain that the Santa body you are making now is going to be almost completely covered by appliqué and embroidery so don't worry if it still doesn't look quite ok for you!! :-)</p><p>I will be showing today the finished body - well, quite finished - so that you prepare for the fun of embellishing it with other fabrics and threads.</p><p>You should prepare some matching fabrics and threads in the colours you want to use. I will be doing a woods Santa so that my choice is one of natural dyed and printed fabrics. You can use whatever you like most. Christmas fabrics, some collection of fabrics you haven't used yet that is laying in some cupboard... whatever. Try to use different kinds of fabrics, cheesecloth, tulle, gaze, cotton, sheers, etc. As for the embellishments you surely have loads of them.</p><p>Now to the Santa I'm making:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8RrBMhY2H6E/X7aAVL0hnkI/AAAAAAAAKpc/TU03XCMfji4MTHspUn22AGeM2XvdiVf5gCNcBGAsYHQ/s864/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="648" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8RrBMhY2H6E/X7aAVL0hnkI/AAAAAAAAKpc/TU03XCMfji4MTHspUn22AGeM2XvdiVf5gCNcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QWeibdtBGdc/X7aAVB4c0kI/AAAAAAAAKpY/vkEWlBOFPWodjouepO2fVg__yIHZcmL8ACNcBGAsYHQ/s768/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="576" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QWeibdtBGdc/X7aAVB4c0kI/AAAAAAAAKpY/vkEWlBOFPWodjouepO2fVg__yIHZcmL8ACNcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I put some fabrics on top of the Santa to see how they look like.

I will see to open a Pinterest folder so that you can see what everybody is doing. Please send me your emails to my email on the Contact link of the blog and you will get an invite which you have to respond to. If you don‘t know how to do it please send me the photos of the development of your Santa an I will post them for you!</p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now Step 3:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Felters:</span></p><p>Take two pieces of cheese cloth of a size suitable for your face. You can see approximately the size on the photos. It is better to do cut the pieces somehow bigger because they shrink a little when they are felted. We will cut them and sew them together. One bottom side and one lateral side should have little wool on them so that you see the cheesecloth edges because this can look lovely. You see this too on the second photo where I put the face on top. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XcF-IME_2cs/X66X28e-8II/AAAAAAAAKnE/y4fXG8RFXsccWKohGA4cuJE37xuq2kzZQCNcBGAsYHQ/s864/IMG-3664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="864" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XcF-IME_2cs/X66X28e-8II/AAAAAAAAKnE/y4fXG8RFXsccWKohGA4cuJE37xuq2kzZQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG-3664.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WVg1X9tKVug/X66YILR5PXI/AAAAAAAAKnM/0tbZbG0RqIo_IfuAS4EBZs-Vf9Tz0ep5QCNcBGAsYHQ/s864/IMG-3665.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="864" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WVg1X9tKVug/X66YILR5PXI/AAAAAAAAKnM/0tbZbG0RqIo_IfuAS4EBZs-Vf9Tz0ep5QCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG-3665.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Because the felted body is going to show between the appliqué pieces you may already use a coloured cheesecloth and wool for this step! It‘s your choice. My choice is a nature in winter type.</p><p>My two cheesecloth pieces are already felted. I put some wool roving on each side of the cheesecoth, not too much, just a thin layer, because we are going to do embroidery and appliqué on the surface of the whole Santa. Then I felted the two surfaces. You can do this with the embellisher too if you have one. We are going to fill the Santa with fleece or wool after sewing the pieces together in Step 4.</p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Fabric:</span></p><p>Take four pieces of cotton fabric in a natural colour. It can be other than beige because we are going to cover it with printed pieces of appliqué and embroidery.</p><p>To give some body to the Santa you should work as if you were doing a quilt sandwich, that means that you put a layer of batting between two layers of fabric. After that you baste the 3 layers with small backstitches every 2cm. See photo.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2aVFof6ZKbU/X66YQuqU04I/AAAAAAAAKnQ/fFy-qzDiKJ86HOwIetdNNvkCtep1VsBuQCNcBGAsYHQ/s576/IMG-3666.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="576" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2aVFof6ZKbU/X66YQuqU04I/AAAAAAAAKnQ/fFy-qzDiKJ86HOwIetdNNvkCtep1VsBuQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG-3666.JPG" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Sara lechnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00054644891427987363noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27607077.post-42107788854432892112020-11-12T10:47:00.006+01:002020-11-12T16:17:25.791+01:00Who wants to participate in a challenge for Christmas in the Covid Age?<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> A stay at home challenge!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The idea is to make a Santa doll using the techniques you like the most.

I didn't want it to be a sad story but somehow it even evolved as a kind of thriller...!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I'm watching too many of them on the telly these days...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing is that these two nice Victorian girls were the best friends ever but you know what adolescence can do with these well behaved kids... What happened is that they felt in love with the same man. One of them even married him. The other one, I think it was the one to the left, the ones that don't look like it are mostly the wicked ones..., ended up finishing with the life of the couple and committing suicide. Wait... It cannot end like that. Well then, their spirits woke up in another life where there is no unhappy love or crimes or blood ...and now the three of them are the best of friends. Sadly I think that although they are in a kind of naturist realm it doesn't seem to be much passion there ...</div>

If you marvel at the boobs of the grown up girls I must tell you that they weren't made by me but I got them from <a href="http://karenannruane.typepad.com/karen_ruane/">Karen Ruane. </a> She does the most stunning embroidery, please visit her blog to see her work! They are made of silk and beautifully embroidered.</div>
