Project 004: Rainbow I-Pom

A few months ago, I was looking through various knitting techniques online and stumbled upon I-cord. I instantly wanted to make something with it, but couldn't figure out what. My first thought was to make a really long I-cord and then join it together at the ends and wear it looped about my neck multiple times like a t-shirt necklace. This may still happen.

Instead, this happened:

Please excuse crappy self-photo, nobody else with thumbs was home!

Long scarf is long.

A beautiful, long, variegated rainbow I-cord, paired with two huge white pom-poms. I shall call it I-Pom! XD

New techniques learned:

•  I-cord knitting

I already knew how to make pom-poms from a scarf I made last year for my sister, which I'll post here sometime if I ever get photos (or just make one for myself, which is way more likely).

Next? Maybe jewelry. I have a bunch of things that need repaired, plus a repair job for a coworker, and the supplies I need to make my sisters jewelry for prom will be coming on Tuesday...

Project 003: the light shines in the darkness

So, I was totally making a Valentine's Wreath and then got really close to the end and didn't finish it. Now that Easter's past, I don't think I'm going to be finishing it anytime soon.


Oh well.


So I made some art work instead!

To be honest, I didn't try anything new this time. I did use the colored and weighted line art again. I'm still undecided on it; I need to play with it more, I think.

Next project? Ehhh... I've got some old artwork that needs matted and framed, a couple of sketches that can be cleaned up and finished, a few knitting projects that I've been wanting to tackle, some jewelry pieces to mix, upcycle, and make. So I guess it'll be something, and hopefully soon!
