mobeus

still my favourite colour

mobeus

have now cast on my mobeus
I did not use the instructions in the knitting magazine but used the one from cat bordhis wonderful book magical knitting
It worked
now I am using double knitting on a 6.50 circular needle lenght 60ins
I am just doing plain knitting as I have not knittied for years and never on a circular
I am hooked
I plan on buying some denise needles -the ones that you join all together to get the lenght you want
hopefully in a week or so I will be confident enough to use the eyelash type yarn and make a huge brown-ish one to go with my new trouser and tops in that colour

colours

now my favourite colours are blues purlples and greens with a hint of hot pink,all clear and zingy,but
last year we went to stokesay castle , a fortified very old manor house and I saw these tiles.I have now bought lots of fabrics in browns-dark chocolate like these very old tiles ,creams and such.I never thought I would wear what I always thought to be boring beigey neutrals.however I am still drawn to purples and aquas.we are lucky cos although my wardrobe co-ordinates well and so nothing will go with my sew colours ,I can soon remedy that with a visit to the fabric shop

I am determined to learn to mobeus knit......

a frock made from bras -did not really like this but took it to show my friend don!!

these trousers are amazing ,taken at the V&A when philip took me to the couture exhibition,was disappointed in the fashion gallery this tiem -I know they have to change it around,but the exhibition was wonderful and had me purring.I loved the oriental garments in the other sections and just wanted to look how they were constructed.thank you V&A

just love rainbows

thimble and bundle playing

the underarm is so deep you cannot raise your arms or carry a lot of bags....still I dont care I love it

close up of cuff detail

I love vintage clothes,this coat fits me! more than can be said of any clothes I could buy today.I just love it and do wear it but not in the rain.I do beleive it is dressmaker made ,so thank you the lovely person who made it

this is my bias cut petticoat note the bust dart,I love this pattern

old bra

this is the photo of one of my old bras,note the only elastic is under the cup and at the centre back
these for me are sooo uncomfy -I usually break them because my rib cage expands so much
