Punk jumper?

Hello! I'm new, 16 and from Bristol in England (dunno where most people are from here)

I want a punk jumper, one of those big holey things that's barely held together and is waaaaay too large for any human being to fit in. If anyone watches The Mighty Boosh, I'm looking for one like the one Vince was wearing in the episode where he's a punk.

How do I go about making such a thing? I've only ever made scarves before haha

Help please please pleaaase

Is it a sock? Is it a cozy?

Allo everyone!

I recently came into possession of a nano, very exciting indeed! While I was at the store looking for accessories, I noticed that you could buy knit socks for i-pods.

This got me thinking.

So, with a little search or two through Ravelry, I found that someone had made an "endpaper mitts" patterned cozy for her i-pod. I quickly found some grey and hot pink left over wools, and made one of my own! The pink is a bit brighter than it shows up. I really should pull out my good camera sometime soon.

Ravelry Group

There is no Punk Rock Knitter Ravelry group. Would anyone want to join if I started one?

I made awesome pillows!

This was my first thing to knit that wasn't a scarf and I am super excited. They turned out great!

You Spin Me.

i just finished the RPM socks from knitty.com. I used all the methods I've never tried before, to make it more exciting (i.e. short-row heel, and the pointed toe). I ended up frogging the heel like, 7 times, but in the long run it was totally worth it.

i actually had enough yarn to make the a lil' longer but i was afraid of coming up short.





Pattern Particulars

Pattern Source: RPM Socks by Aija Goto via Knitty.com
Needles: Addi Turbo US size 1 32" circular (Magic Looped)
Materials: 1 Skein STR lightweight in Lemongrass.
Time: alot, i started them the first time in May and frogged a lot of times.
Loved: the pattern!!!!! mindless repeats=watching subtitles.
Hated: the short row heel, i don't ever want to do one again.

Piggy Tail/ Dr SEuss Hat

I so hate bugging you all, but a while back i had printed out a pattern for a hat, it had holes for piggy tails but they were more on the top/side of the head and looked like smallish tube holes, like something from dr seuss or the sea. I have misplaced it and so had the perfect friend in mind to print it for....do any of you know which hat i am thinking of? I searched old posts here and have been surfing looking for it but.....sigh, this one was perfect. All i have found just have plain holes on the lower side. Thanks if you can help! (i had swore it was knitty but no luck!)

Duck feet in a row

Here's a little stash busting project I did. See the blog for details.

Speaking of knitting and tattoos

Speaking of knitting and tattoos. This one is my first and is now 2 weeks old. However, this photo was taken right after I got home from having it done and cleaned it up.

Tattoos and Knitting

Ha, I never got pictures of it the first time around, so I decided to do a second take. :) Remember, I knit while getting tattooed, it keeps my mind off of the pain. Really, I have a low tolerance for pain and I know if I'm knitting and focusing on the simple in, around, out, off motions I will be fine. Nik loves it because he says it keeps me still, which makes it easier for him to do his job. Also, with my last tattoo he said that he has seen full grown men complain more than I do! Which made me feel rockin. Okay...I lied. Here are all of the pictures. Trust me, this isn't even half of them. Kyle took LOADS of progress shots. You can literally see the tattoo develop. One of my favorite shots was an accidental one, he meant to photograph the tattoo, and instead got Nik's hands in there. lol But I think that is kinda cool. Oh, those are the Nermal socks I am working on there.

Knitting For War

Hello Peoples, I am checking in with my new project. i am writing a book for charity knitting groups called Knitting for War. The war by the way is on suffering and cold fingers.

Anyway I am look for original patterns for hats, scarves, mittens ans sweaters. The book is a fund raiser for our Humor Therapy Clown Troop. Much like a women's club writing a cook book. Except we have men and we are clown and it is knitting and not cooking. Other than that it is just the same.

There is a Ravelry group where I am testing parts of the book.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice. And Happy Halloween

Question/Poll....nov 1st almost here so...

who has made their xmas knit list, who has started, how "evil" is it and what are you knitting?

For me: I have already knit a hat/scarf from the Knit1 mag for daughters best friend...she is like my second daughter.
hat for daughters boyfriend.
Afghan for mom.
socks for MIL. (or a lace type scarf)
That may just do it!

Help..need a guys hat pattern..ideas?

Ok, my daughters 15 year old boyfriend. I am looking for a cool yet "easy/lol..no cables" hat for him. I want to knit him a hat, he is a sweetie. Down to earth, I was thinking of using a blacker based Nori yarn but not sure what pattern to use. Any ideas from you Pro's??!! Thanks....off to sneak another peanut butter cup, extra time working out tomorrow!

Knit for a Spell

Happy All Hallows Eve!

Pumpkin Pouch treat bag

Just a very quick knit for trick or treating, since my two year old doesn't go out to get huge amounts of candy... and I can't stand those plastic pumpkin pails... I made her this pouch...






I think she will get one that looks like an ornament for christmas... instead of the stockings everyone else will get.

"I'm dancing like a monkey!"

If there are any fans of Invader Zim here you'll love this pattern I came across for a knitted Gir doll. I plan to make one in the near future after I'm caught up on making baby gifts!

My, are those runs in your socks?

I've been busy, busy it seems! I found this awesome pattern called Bellatrix from Socktopia on my searches through Ravelry. It's a drop stitch pattern, and it leaves what appear to be runs in your socks! For those who don't know, Bellatrix is a crazy dark witch from the Harry Potter series, also, it is a star in the Orion constellation. I have one mostly finished, I need to rip out the toe and make it longer though. I swear, I'm doing toe up socks next pair I make...
Well, I just find it to be a pretty punk/goth pattern and thought I'd share!

Yummy purse of cables!

My new purse!
Originally uploaded by zsanica_zsanica

School might be keeping me busy, but apparently I have learnt to knit faster, muahaha! Also it is rather fun to knit in class. So my last project was a cabled purse in a raspberry colour. Very pleased with it, even though the pattern was a little difficult to follow because of poor wording. Too bad the photo is a bit fuzzy. I've been lazy and just using my webcam for photos lately.

Oh, you can see a hint of the purple in my hair too, peaking through the bottom just a tad.

My version of Juju

I know this guy has been posted before but here he is anyway. I made him for my hair dresser and she LOVED it. I have requests for eight more at this point! Bad Juju from Anitcraft:


I altered the embroidery b/c it was my first time and I was bad at it.

Lambs Pride Sweater finally finished!

I finally finished my lambs pride sweater!
My first shot at designing a sweater, using the top down raglan style. I aimed for the neck to be sort of square, so that worked out pretty well.
more pics on the blog, but I'd love your feedback for next time.

thanks for looking!
