The ARTD/SSSS Yarncrafters Club

[Viisikielinenkantele]

So, this is what I got so far:



This I plan as the centerpiece. The fabric is hand-dyed cotton. It is paper-pieced. Now I´m working at converting pictures of the crew in a pattern. This is the first:



I´m still working on it and I think I must dye some cotton to get all the different shades I want. But first I must persuade the program to save my work on the templates... I made them already at least four times and it doesn´t want to save them... *argh*

Sssoo I was battling with myself over whether to post about this project or not because let's face it, I'm probably borderlining an obsession OR I'm just a really embarrassing fangirl, but anyway. Here's a work-in-process pic on what I've been knitting after the Braidypeysa. 

I'm using much thinner yarn this time, Léttlopi (the itchiness should be accurate to canon).

It's okay, we're all obsessed here.

Also, can I just say you are amazingly skilled?

I can't wait to see the Lalli/ rest of the crew!

Unfortunately sewing machines never liked me either. *is forever scarred by first and probably last machine-quilting attempt*

Holy.... WOW! Are you making the pattern as you go along or did you find something online?

[Laufey]

mithrysc: good, I guess I don't have to hold back then. Thank you!

starfallz: I make them myself as I go, but it's not quite as impressive as it sounds like. I've knitted so many sweaters that making them kind of gets in the system, so I know already what changes in the pattern make what shaped sweater in which size. The colourwork is easily drawn, all you need is a grid.

[starfallz]

Cool. I've knit a bunch of sweaters, but mostly in the round. I think I've only done one that was all assembled like that. Of course, I've not done any colorwork sweaters. SSSS has me wanting to take on a lopapeysa for my next one though.... 

My colorwork mostly is mittens and hats.

That is amazing! Love, love, love it!

I`m working at SSSS-quilt project, too. My star is partly paper foundation pieced and not quite ready yet, but here is a peak with the blue (possible) back of the quilt (and the cat, who approved the work). There will be something besides the star in front, but not sure what yet (first rule perhaps). My work tends to evolve along the way (like the quiltwork, that is my avatar)

*Gasp!* Is it the Siggy Sweater? I love it!

Also, we must all bow down to your amazing knitting skillage. I am seriously wowed.

Amazing! You are quite talented.

If anyone can convert this to a crochet pattern I will be eternally grateful.

Lopapeysa are fun to knit, especially if you knit them in the round. If I was brave enough to try steeking I'd knit even cardigans that way but so far the mere thought is just way too scary.

There's a tool for designing lopapeysa here. I'm not sure of how it works but so far people seem happy with it (English instructions are available).

Yes indeed it is! Thank you, and no need to bow since it's actually more of a - well, habit. I was taught to knit as a small kid and I liked it so it stuck on. 

Amazing! You are quite talented.

Thank you! Crocheting is something I never really got the hang of, not properly... I mean I know the basics but that's all I can do, the basics. Plus my hand is horrible, uneven and occasionally way too tight.  I'd be really interested in seeing this sweater as a crochet pattern too though making one is sadly far beyond my skills.

Ooh! Thank you! That looks awesome. Now if I could afford some Lopi... and finish the cardigan I've been working on so I wouldn't feel guilty....

[Aprillen]

Maybe we should rename the topic to "Textile Crafters' Club"?
Or perhaps,
"Fiber Wranglers' Association"?

Damn, am I going to have to cave in and install Silverlight? D:

Also, everyone's work here is so amazing, not least yours! I'm constantly being blown away.

I would rename it, but after those posts were added from other threads I'm no longer the creator of this thread so I can't rename it anymore (I think). Would someone with the power to do so please change the thread name? I like the idea of changing " yarncrafters" to "textile crafters".

[starfallz]

Name change would be good! Fabric is fabric, whether it is knit or crocheted or woven!
