Bought lots of good stuff with my 6000 yen :) see you soon byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee or Sayonara as the japanese say ;)

Inittoknitit is off to TOKYO!!!

Konichiwa! (hope I spelt that right!)

arrived in Japan today after what seemed like hours on a plane! :( Had to have my bag strip searched because I had a crocet hook in there which looked odd on the x-ray sreen thingy so that was fun :/ Its extremley interesting however the language is unreadable and didnt 'get far today as still trying to get bearings but tomorrow we are heading to the city centre :D Hopefully I will find something craft related or be able to get some good inspirational pictures there! keep you updated :)

I will leave you with this line from a menu from a pizza place, does anyone know what this means!!!??? : S

"Spaghetti with enough protit of nood bird and cabbage"

Talk soon and will upload pics when i get back home :0 bye

All this for £2.....

Hi everyone :)

My mum has recently been teaching me how to sew! Im currently making a dress I designed myself (ohhh how exciting I feel like im on project runway :D) I wanted a mannequin to make my dress on but they are vvvvveeerrrrrryyy expesive! I found a tutorial online which told you how to make your own. It was brilliant! all you needed was an old t shirt, newspaper, a coat hanger and duct tape. I bought 2 rolls of tape for £2 in my local pound shop so that was all it cost me to make the whole thing which I think is really cheap :0)

Heres how mine turned out:

Im really pleased with it. I used wrapping paper rolls to make a tripod so it is free standing :)

I feel dizzy but I won't stop spinning!

Hiiiiiiiiiii............

I have been practising my spinning lately and I definately think im getting better! Its very addictive though (like I spent hours doing it!:0) My wool is getting thinner nd more consistent everytime,videos from youtube and ravelry really helped :) Check out my wool I spun! (first attempt at the top second attempt below)

Ohhh im sooo pleased!

See you later (aligator!)

Ravelry swap!!!!!

Bonjour!

I took part in my first swap on Ravelry and was delighted when I got home and my parcel was waiting for me!!! :) I recieved a wonderful package from my very generous swap partner :D (The theme was rainbows) I got some slipper socks, sweets (yum!), some unspun wool (which willl be great for practising with), a beautiful rainbow pen and buttons! Not to forget a little knitted fish which I named Frederick. I REALLY NEED THE PATTERN FOR HIM HE IS SOOO CUTE!

Here are some pics of my wondeful parcel! :0)
