If you've been following me for awhile, you guys might remember that I'm doing the Master Hand Knitter certification program offered by The Knitting Guild Association.
I started the last level in 2016....yes...2016, you guys! Holy crap! Where did the time go? TBH, I ended up not working on it consistently. I lost my knitting mojo sometimes. I took another knitting course by TKGA. I started drawing and sewing more during my spare time. Life happened.
Well, I'm happy to say I finally submitted my work for review! YAY! It was a lot of work, and never really thought I can finish it, but hubby was encouraging me along the way.
I would like to share the hat and sweater I designed and knitted for the program, and also show you the video of the binder I submitted.
This sweater is inspired by the Norwegian Setesdal sweaters. I named this sweater design after my hubby, who also modelled it:)
This was knit in pieces and seamed together. If you knit, you'll know that sweaters like this are usually knit circularly but I decided to knit it flat.
Cabled hat (Aran inspired)
Me wearing the prototype and my eldest modelling:)
Video of the binder I submitted. Lots of written work.
Let me add that my work has not been reviewed yet. I just mailed it out, and it takes a few months to get the feedback back. There are re-submissions as well that I know I'll have to do, but for now, I'm happy to have done the first step!
Well done on submitting! The heats and the knit look amazing - so much detail in that knit I never would have expected it to be handmade! You did a great job!
Wow you are talented. I hope when your work is reviewed you pass with flying colours. And how kind of your hubby to model that sweater as I know he hates having his photo taken. :D
Oh my goodness! The amount of work you've done is truly astounding. And the pieces you created are just wonderful. It inspires me so much to see all of your creativity and dedication. You are incredible, talented, and so hard working. I know you'll have excellent reviews when you hear back! the-creationofbeauty.blogspot.com
Look at that awesome craftsmanship! Congratulations on finishing this beautiful sweater and for your submission! Hwaiting chingu ! Looking forward to hearing about the awesome feedback you're going to be getting. I'm so happy that I have my own Emmy original <3 It will soon be chilly enough to wear it again too :)
OMG Emmy you did a great work, I love handmade work and if we do the work the sentimental value is so great! well done Emmy, and I love to watch your little works on the video!! xoxo
If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?
I don't think you can go wrong with anything that has The Beatles on it....right? no-name shirt bought from the CNE, Hot Topic pants, Topshop chelsea boots I swear...she's gonna start her own blog soon. What a ham! Do you like The Beatles?
Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
