Just realized that I had finished my scrumble for Week 6, but I didn't have good net connection when travelling last week, and then I forgot to post it when I got home...so here it is...looking a little dark with all its brown woolly knitting and deep blue crochet. I liked the way the rib shifted itself about sinuously to accommodate the added cup-shaped embellishments, which were crocheted around some (yfwd, work2tog)-eyelets in the knitting. size approximately 20cm (8") x 15cm (6")

I created this scrumble in 2 separate sections then, using just a few stitches, I sewed them together in the centre. Each of the pieces began with a small slip stitch knitted square, worked in hot pink wool and a variegated mauve mohair. Before they were joined I added some crochet block stitches and popcorns to each piece, and a little more knitting using an unusual ribbon yarn. A couple of gaps in the work were crocheted around a few times to produce the deep 'holes', and these were then finished off with a round of crab stitch. Once the 2 pieces were joined, I worked some random crochet mesh into the upper and lower v-shaped dips to fill them, and then edged a couple of sections for continuity, using a thick mohair boucle yarn. Finally a little more crochet was added on the surface and at the edges, using a thin yarn that was both matt and glittery.

A new PDF tutorial for creative freeform knitting. Based on one of my popular knitting workshops, this step-by-step guide will get you well on the way to designing your own totally unique textile artworks. Even though I often combine both crochet and knitting into my creations, fantastic freeform fabrics can still be created using either craft on its own, and this particular tutorial is just about knitting, so you don't need to know anything at all about crochet. 14 pages of instructions, accompanied by detailed photographs, will enable you to use simple knit stitches to produce wonderfully tactile fabrics, and the multi-directional pieces you create will work equally well for wearable-art garments, accessories or wallhangings. This listing is for a PDF. It contains comprehensive notes and high resolution photos. There is no shipping cost. Once payment is confirmed you will receive details on how you can download the file.
Even though it's mostly blue I feel as though I want to call this week's scrumble a Purple People Eater (...blue people eater definitely doesn't have the same ring!) I think it is because the little inverted domes on short crochet cords, a la 'Romainian point lace', remind me of the eyes of space creature drawings from my youth. size approximately 20cm (8") x 18cm (7")

A couple of weeks ago I discovered 2 scrumbles that had been hiding in a box of yarns. They were originally made as workshop samples, years ago. I joined them up and revamped them a bit, and figured they were now worthy of a blog post ;-)
