Knitika's Knit Fits: A grey tunic, all finished!
http://knitikas.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-grey-tunic-all-finished.html
Monday, November 17, 2014. A grey tunic, all finished! I finished my hand sewn tunic! It's a bit tighter than I'd prefer. I can't layer it over anything, or it puckers like it's too small. I lined, stitched, and beaded the hem. I decorated a pocket to cover the butt logo. It looks a little crooked on the dress. Oops. But I'm pretty happy with it! I'd stitch some more things to wear, but I'm mired in giftmas knitting for the time being. Nicely done, Val. And it looks great on you :). In my mothers name.

Knitika's Knit Fits: Prototype Dress
http://knitikas.blogspot.com/2015/01/prototype-dress.html
Saturday, January 03, 2015. So this starts with my interest in the All Saints Zeeda dress. I've been interested in making one. Except you can't make one. It's totally doolally. Someone bought the dress and counted and documented. The seams in it, and there's 33 panels. I don't know how it even came together. Look at this thing:. And I added sleeves, in hopes that the prototype would be wearable. Who needs sleeveless midwinter? I'm pretty happy with the results! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Number ...

Knitika's Knit Fits: The Taupe Dress
http://knitikas.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-taupe-dress.html
Wednesday, March 04, 2015. And here it is, the Inspired-by-Zeeda dress! It's not at all an attempt at a copy, it's an homage. It's a princess-seamed pattern from Alabama Chanin, designed for knits, with alterations and embellishments to the skirt. I cut two copies of the dress from the pattern, making a lining that had the main structure of the dress, but not the extra skirt action. Here's the inside:. Let me show you the back of the dress. And the details of the side panels:. View my complete profile.

Knitika's Knit Fits: September 2014
http://knitikas.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The Long and Twisted Story about The Chocolate. So I've made two trips to the homeland this summer. The first recreational, the second for an urgent family matter. During the first, I was looking for gifts to take home for the family, and so I picked up some local chocolate. For my husband, the exotic Raw Dragon Chili Chai, and for the kidlets, the guaranteed pleasers of a solid milk chocolate for her, and a raspberry dark for him. The day before he departed, I asked my siste...

Sunday, May 31, 2015. I found a very cute monkey shirt at the thrift store. So I found some other shirts that matched it. And made a quick skirt! It was all machine sewed with my serger. Nice, easy, and fun to wear. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My works in progress, ravelry style. When goths go to the grocery store.

Knitika's Knit Fits: Costume notes: River Song
http://knitikas.blogspot.com/2015/03/costume-notes-river-song.html
Wednesday, March 04, 2015. Costume notes: River Song. What do you do with a taupe dress. Dress up like River Song, of course! I needed some accessories to go with the taupe dress. I got some leather-like upholstery fabric at the fabric store and punched rows of holes in it with a knitting needle. I used brass tacks to fasten it. Fastening 15 brass tacks around my middle took flippin' forever. Eventually I figured out that the middle column didn't all have to be fastened through both layers. Two Books: Su...

Knitika's Knit Fits: November 2012
http://knitikas.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 18, 2012. To the casual observer, knitting is just knitting. It's a shawl, a scarf, a pair of socks, whatever. They keep you warm. I'd like to tell the story associated with one of my recent project. It starts with Doctor Who. But not all of them, just one. But not him, either. We're talking season six. Specifically, the mythology of Melody Pond. Whose name was embroidered onto a prayer leaf for Amy Pond. And the inspiration for a gorgeous skein of yarn. Confession: I haven't worn them a...
