My creative space…
There are many works in progress in my space this week.
Started a few weeks ago in Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic 12 ply, colour Shadow Tweed. Not long to go now!
Shawl started a few months ago – this one is a traveller, so doesn’t get worked on as often. About half-way through.
A swimming lycra remnant and a free swimsuit pattern. Yes, it’s the middle of winter, and no, I’ve never made bathers before. I have no idea why I decided that now would be a good time to consider it.
Garish stretch velvet remnant, bought at the same time as the lycra, for similar unknown reasons. Clare adores it and it will become a top for her fairly soon.
Pop over to Kirsty to discover more creative spaces. And if you’re in Melbourne, pop over to Thornbury this evening for the opening of Cathy’s exhibition. See you there!
Mum made me bathers once.
They fell down, after I dived in at the school swimming carnival.
Thank goodness I was at an all girls school at the time.
I can certainly remember that there was some of that clear, stretchy tape involved in the debarkle.
I hope yours are more successful
The stitching in the shawl is beautiful. Can’t wait to see how the bathers turn out!
Please could you tell me what pattern you’re using for your shawl – it looks lovely.
lovin the two wip’s, and I finally bought crotchet hooks and have started squares to get a bit of stitch confidence – thanks for all the inspiration!
good luck with the bathers. Tried this one last year and it wasn’t pretty. needed sooooo much alteration to fit me it was nothing like the original pattern. Also put cups from an old moulded cup bra inside. In the end it didn’t make the cut. Hope you fare better 🙂

The colours in that shawl look beautiful Lara! Can’t wait to see it finished!
