Its gated preview (where you can temptingly see a board for a second, then are prompted to log in), and its dubious attribution, made me hesitate to join up. However I've finally given in, and have enjoyed gathering together <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pixelmushroom/dresses-sewing-inspiration/">a set of dresses</a> to inspire sewing ideas.
<p>
It's certainly a useful tool for visually grouping inspiration, and storing associated links.
<p>
Now I just need to find some sewing patterns that match up with all my pictures... then actually sew things...

Colour 75 has long stretches of bright pink with dashes of purple - which I didn't feel went well with the other colours - so I am removing the pink sections as I go. I quite like the remaining combination - it seems beach-y.PixelatedMushroomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04425481796697382106noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104472868205632275.post-40986517993480187282014-12-27T10:27:00.001+11:002015-01-11T10:02:14.408+11:00Mobius Mitts v1: featured projects 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hope everyone had some lovely celebrations. It was great to see the new Christmas Tree TARDIS projects <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/badges/redirect?p=christmas-tree-tardis"><img align="absmiddle" src="http://api.ravelry.com/badges/projects?p=christmas-tree-tardis&t=.gif" height="24" style="border: none;" width="100" /></a> springing up over December.<br />
<br />
I only managed one gift-knit this year - some Randiriel socks for my Mum. They fit! Hooray!<br />

Sock knitting is becoming more enjoyable over time - and I love the look and process of knitting patterns with travelling cables.<br />
<br />
For this pattern, the heel and toe are not provided. I am still a little unfamiliar with heels so used the heel from the <a href="http://ravel.me/pixelatedmushroom/r2">Rick</a> socks.<br />

I dropped in to <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/dairing-dl-2-linen">Dairing</a> (Teresa Dair's unique fibre and knitwear studio) yesterday at lunchtime, and discovered a 20% off sale. Hooray!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a birthday voucher to spend, so I picked up some <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/dairing-dl-2-linen">DL-2 linen</a> to play with. Couldn't wait to play with it, so did a little swatching on my train ride home. It's a very interesting texture. I'm going to wash the swatch now and see if it ends up more drapey, or if it continues to hold its shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I haven't received any formal documents yet but hopefully that part of things should go through smoothly. More time is available now for sleep(!) and for crafting ^_^ I can't say I'm using my time very effectively at the moment *cough <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Skyrim">Skyrim</a> cough*, but I'm planning some new pattern writing soon.<br />
<br />
My quest for a proper graduation hat is still unresolved, due to my first university having no-hats for undergrads, my second university holding their graduations in an unappealing massive stadium, and my third university holding their Graduations in Albury. I've resolved to make my own hat from paper to celebrate.PixelatedMushroomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04425481796697382106noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104472868205632275.post-13809615593784030372014-11-14T20:35:00.002+11:002015-10-08T22:45:57.635+11:00Ruins pattern - now freeTo celebrate the release of <a href="http://pixelatedmushroom.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/chiaroscuro-fingerless-gloves.html">Chiaroscuro</a>, my Ruins pattern is now available for free.<br />

<br />
Dreaming of castles in the mist, and adventure? Ruins is an intermediate pattern, written for a knitter comfortable with a circular needle and the magic loop (or two circular needles).<br />
<br />
With three sections using different techniques (stranded colour work, basket weave and layers) this pattern is perfect for the restless wanderer who quickly tires of repetitive patterns.<br />
<br />
Alternatives are provided for the first two sections if you are finding the techniques too tricky.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to those who purchased this pattern while it was available! Profit generated during the last year was donated to charity.

<b>Pattern details - Chiaroscuro fingerless gloves </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Chiaroscuro - in painting, photography and cinema - strong contrasts between dark and light
serving to achieve a sense of depth and volume... </i></div>
<i><br /></i>
This pattern was designed to feature metallic yarn (or other specialty fibres) without the commitment of a full garment. The delicacy of the metallic yarn will affect the durability of the project for every-day wear, but will also produce an individual creation depending on the yarn combinations chosen, like a small work of art.<br />
<br />
The gloves are knit from the bottom up, in three sections. The first and third sections involve creating two layers for a shadowed appearance; the middle section involves a cable on the back of the hand creating a vignette effect.
This pattern is rated as challenging - due to the nature of the delicate yarn, and the fiddly-ness of having two magic loops available simultaneously.
<br />

<br />
For this sweater I decided to use the pattern <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/julissa-scoop-neck-version">Julissa (scoop neck version)</a> by Vanessa Smith as a base for a cardigan (as I had heard it was very well-written) - but then decided that the cabling might not be quite enough to keep me entertained - so somehow ended up replacing the cable with multiple <a href="http://www.knittingfool.com/StitchIndex/StitchDetail.aspx?StitchID=833">Twin leaf lace</a> patterns and just using Julissa as a base.<br />
<br />
Perhaps a bit of a silly way to approach such a project with so many great cardigan patterns out there, but it worked in the end.<br />

I was hoping to knit the <a href="http://www.knittingfool.com/StitchIndex/StitchDetail.aspx?StitchID=833">Twin leaf lace</a> stitch top down, but after a little testing, I believe this is one of those lace patterns that can’t be reversed - so the leaves ended up facing downwards instead - not quite as leaf-like unfortunately.</div>

<br />
The yarn is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/skein-dk">Skein DK</a> in the Quill colourway. This is the only DK weight sweater that I've made so far that seems easy to wear. I think the cardigan-ness makes it much easier to put on than a pullover - but unfortunately the button band is a bit thick and droops a little. Still fairly happy with this creation :)<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This year the <a href="http://www.sheepshow.com/">Australian sheep and wool show</a> became a special weekend away with my Mum. Sadly my usual crafty companions weren't able to join us, so Mum had to endure a couple of hours of wool admiration amid our weekend away.<br />
<br />
As the largest collection of indie yarn/fleece sellers available in Victoria, this show is always an exciting one to attend. We had nice weather this time around - if a bit chilly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We took a little time out to wander into the wool-judging sheds and see some of the prize sheep (and accompanying tiny lambs).<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Not too many purchases this year. My favourite shop was '<a href="http://www.thepurlbox.com/">The purl box</a>'. Here I found one skein of Oyster Yarns' <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/oyster-yarns-superwash-bfl-4ply">Superwash BFL 4Ply</a> in the Elliot colourway (on special), and two skeins of <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/oyster-yarns-edens-blend">Eden's Blend</a> in the 'Sealer's Cove' colourway (love the name!).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The only other purchase was a skein of Mayhem and Chaos's LolliSox (<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/mayhem-and-chaos-lollisox-2">Rav</a> | <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MayhemChaosHandmade">Etsy</a>) in the Sunrise Sunset colourway. This skein has already become some <a href="http://ravel.me/pixelatedmushroom/r2">Rick socks</a>, and <a href="http://ravel.me/pixelatedmushroom/2hjyx">Bex fingerless gloves</a>.<br />

A new pattern has recently been brewing... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea was to create a pattern that featured metallic yarn without the need to knit a full scarf or garment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The gloves are knit from the bottom up, in three sections. The first and third sections involve creating two layers for a shadowed appearance; the middle section involves a cable on the back of the hand creating a vignette effect. The pattern skill level is likely 'challenging' due to the need to manage two sets of magic loops in the round, and to the fiddly-ness of metallic yarn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you'd be interested in being a tester for the pattern, I've still got one spot left - head over to the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/the-testing-pool/2968767/">Testing Pool</a> on Raveley, or email me at pixelatedmushroom (at) gmail.com</div>

For quite a few years I've been meaning to share and give thanks to my favorite crafty podcasts for many hours of entertainment and inspiration. These dedicated podcasters have made my fairly lengthy commute bearable, and have become familiar voices in the crafty community. Listening over many years has made it clear how much work and dedication is required to keep these wonderful free episodes flowing, and the communities that have gradually built up around them.<br />
<br />
If there's any podcasts you enjoy, I'd love to hear about them.<br />
<br />
Here's a few of my favourites - I hope you'll consider having a listen.</div>

Spin-able fairy floss?My brother gifted me some Persian fairy floss (vanilla flavoured) for my birthday - yum!
<br />
<br />
It looked somehow familiar... and when comparing it to the <a href="http://www.feltfine.com.au/products/banana-tops">banana spinning fiber</a> in my stash - it's actually hard to tell them apart (one smells better).<br />
<br />
I should be careful not to mix them up! :P<br />
