I achieved alot today.....

Well firstly I climbed a mountain!

Snowdon in Wales to be exact.

Its the second time I've climbed it now, before I climbed it on a geography field trip but this time I did it with my family :) Its 1085m tall and we managed to walk allllll the way up and down in about 4 hours. It was hard on the way up and I ache now but you get a real sense of achievement so its definitely worth it :0) I even managed to knit a row of my latest project at the top!

 Here is a pic I took on the way down:

Also I am pretty much finished with my bag of inspiration for the Project Yarnway runway tomorrow! YAY :D

I'm sooo pleased with how its come out! I can't wait to enter it into the competition :0)

See you all again soon,

Bye xxx :)

On my way to the runway

Yo people!

I have finally got round to actually knitting up my design idea for the project yarnway challenge on ravelry!!!! It took me a while as I had to knit a tension square first, then print out some knitters graph paper and colour in all the little squares to create my design before I could finally pick up my needles. Don't get me wrong though I enjoyed it all its just nice to actually start making and see it all coming together :)

I'm reeeeaaalllyyy pleased with how its coming out, the words are really clear. Its cool to watch all the sayings appear before your eyes as you knit each row. (I'm also secretly happy with my intarsia, especially as I'm pretty in experienced with it but its coming out quite neat! :D)

I'm definitely using this bag when its finished. Ive got to get a move on though as its due on the runway by the end of May...

I'm off to knit a couple more rows,

Bye!

p.s If you notice that any of your comments are not shown on the blog anymore it is not because I deleted them. Blogger crashed about a week ago and they have been lost in cyber space I think :( Hopefully they will come back soon!

See ya xxx

Project Yarnway!

Hi guys :)

On Ravelry I joined a group called Project Yarnway (If you ever seen project runway you'll get what the group is all about. If you've never seen it GET WATCHING NOW, IT'S GOOD!)

I missed 'season 1' but now season 2 has come around so I can join in :oD The design challenge for this month is as follows:

> Aliens invaded earth, destroying governments, infrastructure, and communications before moving on in their galactic rampage, and now you’re on your own. Using only materials that you currently have access to, what will you make that will be useful to yourself and your loved ones in this vastly changed landscape? (Please be able to tell us how your project will be helpful and why.)

Sooo I got my thinking cap on and came up with this, the bag of inspiration!

I figure this would be very useful as obviously you can carry stuff in it but also when you read it it will make you feel better. I think you'd need a bit of inspiration if aliens really did invade earth to help you go kick alien butt!!!!!

Now the hard bits left, making it, its gunna be ALOT of intarsia! :0)
See you all later,

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE!
