Getting inspired

July sock... to publish a pattern every month... *hmm*

World's biggest stash This is Anna's Mother-in-law's stash... or part of it. She presents this "Church of Knitters" in her blog "Mochimochi".

My own stash isn't this big and after seeing this I pray it will never get this big either... though I am inheriting my mother's stash (from 70's and on) and as she is of a crafting family, there's quite a lot of it - but not this much... and I am tossing away some of it. My mother has a taste of novelty yarn, which I personally detest.

My first thought after seeing this room was "Dawna would be thrilled to get to organize THIS!"
Then I wanted to take a picture of my stash as a comparison... but before I can do that, I need to clean up this mess... because I'm a REALLY messy person (Remember, dogs play with yarn?)
Right now my stash is all over the living room, buried under paper, dog's "mess" (sticks and bones), books and clothes... So - no pictures. I have no problems saying that I'm messy, because no-one believes the extend of it anyway - EVERYONE's a little messy. Even people with "cleaning sickness" believe to be messy.

Posted by Ketutar at 10:49 PM No comments: Links to this post 10 Projects Challenge

"Vacuumed" from "Tale of a Shooting Star"

The Purpose:

The purpose of this challenge is to reduce the amount of patterns you have not stitched.


I have received a lot of yarn from my mother - most of her stash, actually :-) So I think this challenge would be great for me... and I have A VERY LONG LIST of "to do"... There's also a 50 projects challenge...


101 Things To Do in 1001 Days

Well... I think I have made an effort to do this as well.... er... I hope not. Because I haven't done anything.

101 goals... hmm...

I want to get into the school
move to Turku
learn French properly and fluently
Pay the bill to the library and start using it again *blush*
get the sewing machine to the repair man and get it fixed
get the dog vaccinated against rabies
make the yule stockings
fill to the stockings
knit the socks on my to do list
Read the classics on my list
(my craft projects list on 43 things)
Get the house cleaned properly
get rid of 1/10 of the book collection
write the cook book
write the witch book
write the craft book
buy a washing machine
Get the laundry pile done
Get ourselves a "kolonilott"
make this apartment a HOME instead of a place to live in

I have a problem with this... I'm optimistic, idealistic and over-achiever... So I'd need to break these up to baby-steps...

The Finishing Challenge

An article from "Needlepoint Now" Nov-Dec 2006, Volume VIII, No. 6 There are some ideas of how to finish the needlework pieces at Needle Nook's Stitchers' Corner
I find the pillows extremely fascinating... So beautifully finished... Posted by Ketutar at 1:12 PM No comments: Links to this post 

About crochet, weaving and Japanese craft magazines I read Dora Ohrenstein's "Busting The Bad Crochet Myth", and I found it inspiring... It is true that we have our preconceived notions of what can be done with certain crafting methods - in this case the article is about crochet and clothing.

Now, not all have the same taste in clothing and crochet... some people like things I wouldn't touch with a lit match. It doesn't mean my taste is good and theirs bad - it's just different...
Some examples are in the before mentioned Brazilian crochet blogs (Croche Croche!). For example the "sexy" swimsuit "bodies", mock vintage fashion dolls and the kitchen appliance covers... *brrr* - but at the same time... I'd LIKE to have matching towels and kitchen sets and... yes, I admit, kitchen aid cover... *blush*
I have a certain shameful attraction to tautology, kitsch and Victorian bric-a-brac mishmash... *blush**blush**blush*
(But my tautological kitschy bric-a-brac mishmash has to be tasteful ;-) :-D) So in fact I admire the people who manage to manage their crap and make it - tasteful - even pretty and desirable... :-) *sigh* (I have just a mess LOL)

I was looking at Japanese craft magazines and books, and they really challenge my ideas of what can be done - even though they don't do anything extraordinary or amazing, just ordinary stuff - but the thing is that ordinary stuff - like this cute doggy in his tiny basket - is something *I* haven't thought of doing...

It makes me a bit at unease, because I have a good fiber craft education, I'm very interested (read curious) about all things done with fibers, textile crafts and such, and I consider myself very imaginative and creative... and I haven't THOUGHT of certain things...

For example, I salvaged a tiny children's loom from carbage because I have ALWAYS wanted one. It has been standing in the corner for over a year now, because I wanted it, I got it, but now when I have it, I don't know what to do with it. I'm a professional weaver by education, and I don't know what to weave!
Until I saw this Japanese craft book and it told me what to do... And the thing is, it's so simple, easy - self evident! The runner is very nice, though it's not as "professional" as I'd like it to be - and THAT*S THE POINT. I have let my education limit me, instead of widening the horizon! I have learned that what I do has to be perfect, flawless, immaculate - and that's the biggest lie in the whole history of crafting! I could be doing small tapestries like this - the tiny loom is absolutely perfect for such. These would be the prettiest and finest pot holders anyone has ever had ;-) :-D

I could be weaving Kente cloth. I could be weaving straw runners. I could be weaving runners of "poppana" and "ripsi" and other techniques I know... *hmm*

Charming Christmas Doily from Thata's Patterns

And this is something I just have to give a link to... page after page of INSPIRATION - mostly crocheted toys, two or three patterns, but over 700 pictures of things people have made... Inspiring :-)
Posted by Ketutar at 1:24 PM No comments: Links to this post I have been doing doilies lately...
I really like to crochet, and doilies are quick and complicated enough to keep me interested - BUT I don't USE doilies... So I saw this picture of Anne Peach and her doily canopy - and THIS is a great thing to use the doilies for :-D
So I have been making doilies for a canopy now for a while.
(No, not this successful LOL - I think I have like 10 doilies - small - for now ;-))

Anyway, the internet is full of doily patterns. I have bookmarked some of them, but - it's the internet. What is up there today might be down tomorrow... And of course the internet is full of link lists etc. but those change too and... well... you know :-) I just wanted to put all the links I find in one place, and if people can use this - great :-) If not - well... I'm using like 2MB's of my 1024 MB's so - who cares. There's always room for more ;-)
