But now I am done, about 1½ months after my intented deadline. The prowd recipient, Anna (sorry about her chin and lip, she had a quite severe encounter with a very heavy ladder the day before):<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.loehmann.dk/blog/annakitty.jpg" border="0" /><br />So now I am working on making a small version for Annas BabyBorn, Maja - later Anna will get the Surprise HelloKitty purse which I know she will totally adore.<br />By the way: I chose to sew the Hello Kitty onto the top afterwards instead of knitting it directly because my intarsia skills are not up to my maybe perfectionistic standards - now Kitty is even, no jagged edges or anything - but maybe a bit heavier fabric, which I can live with looking at.Bettinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14592331676556680843noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12469426.post-1119928533420748822005-06-27T20:14:00.000-07:002005-06-27T20:15:33.426-07:00Action Shot!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos17.flickr.com/22058090_7b511d8219.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://photos17.flickr.com/22058090_7b511d8219.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Okay, so I promised I'd get you a picture of Penny wearing the shirt.<br /><br />Here you go!<-----Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12469426.post-1119648615445363032005-06-24T14:28:00.000-07:002005-06-24T14:30:15.450-07:00Knittacia have finished her bag!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4751/988/1600/DSC010551.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4751/988/320/DSC010551.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />It took some time, but now it's finely finished!Knittaciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16944032609491089714noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12469426.post-1118984210907793782005-06-16T21:53:00.000-07:002005-06-16T21:56:50.913-07:00Finished Penny's HK Top!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingpizza/14981254/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://photos14.flickr.com/19821014_0f9c26c5ba.jpg?v=0" alt="p 003" height="180" width="180" /></a><br /><br />Hooray! I finally have a picture for you all. I wanted to get a picture of the recipient wearing it, but she won't be over until the weekend, so I had to at least post this picture. What a fun pattern!

It doesn't look perfect, but I think it is cool. I used an acrylic yarn - Bernat Berella "4" because first project, you never know what might happen, eh? But it turned out well<br /><br />So, Bernat Berella yarn, Hook J size and I didn't use 4 skeins at the same time since the yarn was thick enough.<br /><br />I wasn't so sure about the flower I had 5 tries before understanding that the 1sc, 3dc, 1sc had to be in the same one sc.. I'm a beginner, after all so crocheting in the round isn't something I've done before.. but all in all - I've finally done it!<br /><br />and here it is:<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/missusem/crochetbaghk2.jpg" /></p><br />Thanks Oslofia for the lovely pattern!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12469426.post-1116740925020926192005-05-21T22:48:00.000-07:002005-05-21T22:57:48.726-07:00Sunny's tote & top<div align="justify">I am so proud of myself for finishing these in less than two weeks.

I have not tried intarsia knitting often but I know I don't really like it. In this summer top there is both Fair Isle and Intarsia - and the Fair Isle border with the hearts went okay - but Kitty's head was awful, in my oppinion. I know I am a bit too "symmetrical" in my head, I prefer mu Opal socks to match as perfectly as possible and I hate it when pictures or shelves are hanging ever so slightly skewed...and I also know many knitters would have said my intarsia-Kitty was very fine - but I unraveled it and knit the front just like the back and now I am simply sewing the Hello Kitty face on the top instead. Part of my problem is the rather thin yarn - if I had been knitting intarsia in thicker yarn it would have been more even to look at but I disliked the uneven stitches.<br /><br /> I do not have pictures right now but it will become obvious when seeing the front; For the hearts border I have knitted <em>one</em> heart white and the rest pink; the white heart is intarsia and the pink hearts are fair isle and there is a very obvious difference (to me, anyway). *lol*Bettinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14592331676556680843noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12469426.post-1115900566302949992005-05-12T05:12:00.000-07:002005-05-12T05:22:46.306-07:00my hk tote is finishedyou can see it on my hello kitty blog<br /><a href="http://www.hkcreativity.canalblog.com/">http://www.hkcreativity.canalblog.com/</a><br />I crochete it with a smaller hook 3<br />I have some probleme for put my picture on hk summer kall blog<br />I"ll try next time<br />perhaps at the finish we can do a gallery with all our tote<br />bye bye<br />laurencelaurencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10714396635346121619noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12469426.post-1115865384317435452005-05-11T19:32:00.000-07:002005-05-11T19:37:59.716-07:00Look What I Can Do!!Wow, I'm sooooo happy with this!

The pictures clearly showed me what I had been wondering about; The Norwegian pattern said "rettstrikk" and in Danish "retstrikning" is the same as garter stitch, knit every row - the English pattern, however, did say stockinette stitch, which is "glatstrikning" in Danish!! So I could have been in real trouble. *lol*Bettinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14592331676556680843noreply@blogger.com4
