Turn Around Time

Projects from start to finish seem to take me forever! I have like a pile of things unfinished and yet i have more started! This is bad...

I have class tonight, and i am dread going, because I'm not good at wheel throwing!

Since I'm stranded here without a computer or proper equipment to upload picture i can't show you the mess i made! But soon i will post tons and tons of picture. In two months i hope to put a new face on this blog. I really hate the emptiness. I was lazy to create a template for it, hehe. At the time i had too many "personal" things happening to deal with the template.

I was thinking of designing a spring 08 collection of knitwear top and accessories. (ER can you say crazy? -laugh-) At this rate i don't know if that is possible. With me being slow writing up the patterns and knitting the sample at the same time. This idea will be postpone to another year, or season.

A peek at my knitwear portfolio!

Most of the things i designed, comes to me when I'm going to sleep! My notes of the idea is a scribble of a mess. The gauge changes, depending on what yarn i have. Because i'm broke i only use the yarn i have. Sometime i ignore my own good consciouses i go and buy some anyway

I was going to write these pattern up and send it away to Knitty. But It has been a long battle from conception to the raw manuscript.

I'm not sure what step season designer takes in the process of design. I haven't read anywhere on the proper "step".

The last one is my favorite. I give the pattern the name of "string ring" The color combination is SO me. I love it soo much. I put in a lot of hours into the design of the pattern. I charted the increase so consistence. I have a weird thing with color design. I must have a logical movement! I have size XS through L charted out and written. The written direction for this project was link to an excel chart so. Changing calculation was easy. A quick change in input change the effected number and repeat of the instruction. Everything Is linked, i love it!

I was thinking witting up these instruction to give away for free. But I'm not sure if any would want it! so its push to the back of the list to make room for new ideas.
