ALPHABET SOUP

SMK IS AOK

Sampling from latest scarf endeavor. This scarf reads "SMK IS AOK" if you look carefully. And some letters are backwards I think. I apologize in advance for the weirdness of this blog post, the formatting is all janky. Looks kind of cool and wacky in here. By in here, I mean, inside of Blogger.







The yellow figures are backwards "a's" not sure why they are backwards.
The orange figures are "o's".
The black figures are "k's".



The orange figures are "s's".
The pink figures are "m's".


The purple figures are "s's".



The black figures are "i's".
The orange figures are "k's".

Tuck Everlasting

More multi-color tuck stitches. This panel is in the process of becoming pants.

BIG CHUNKS ON CAMPUS

This is three-ply cotton rope from the hardware store, untwisted and knit with poles. This is before dyeing, I plan to try some home marling techniques by dyeing each of the three strands a slightly different color to give it a finer variegated technique. Maybe then experimenting with over-dyeing and bleach effects...

This started out being an easier process, and definitely yielded a larger chunk in the end. (Approximately 9 inches across and 18 inches long, made from 40 feet of rope). However, the unraveling of the rope took quite a bit of time, about 2 1/2 hours. In the case of the body scarf, I would try to order a large quantity online, unraveled.

I really like this one.

This is the kind of chunky-ness I wanted. I'm leaving town early tomorrow morning and won't be back until Wednesday afternoon, but will start dyeing the scales and rope then to see what color will do for this situation.

Scaly Warmos

Here is a new technique I have learned that weaves a secondary yarn into the main yarn (these are the raised multi-color parts). This is one of my new favorite things. This could be body-suitable.

Here is another new trick. This is multi-color tuck stitch. Also body-suitable.

These are SCALY WARMOS. I knit all of the shapes in a lightweight cotton, much less hot than the acrylic options I have. I kind of like the purity of the white, but the next plan would be to work on dyeing the scales a range of different colors if you are interested in this technique. This method does not include L.E.D use, at all. In one of the earlier drawings, I sketched in an idea to have lit knit loops placed intermittently throughout the scaly jobbers.

My first thought was to have a separate top and pants made with these scales covering the entire surface, with the chunky warmos scarf layered over the top. That way, when the scarf is wrapped around your body, the scales will peek through in certain spots.

Thoughts?
