yay don't you love it when it all comes together.
I knitted a lacey scarf for a friend with kidsilk and 9mm wooden needles, it was delightful knitting (and very fast)! The scarf is very soft, I think I'll make some more, nice to give away something so cuddley...
despite the holes,the thing is very fluffy
and so
warm
I'll leave you with my favorite images of the Iro-sewing-book, so beautiful :

Wonderful post, with so much goodness to look at! Thank you.
Can I ask which stitch pattern you used for the lacey scarf? Its beautiful.
xx Helen
Thanks Helen! The pattern is a reasonably easy feather :
Row 1 : K4, (K1, yo, K2, ssk, K2tog, K2, yo)x 2, K4
Row 2 : Purl
Row 3 : K4 (yo, K2, ssk, K2tog, K2, yo, K1) x 2, K4
Row 4 : Purl
With a fluffy or hairy yarn, I'd say needles 8,9 or even 10 mm
With a slimmer mohair (kidsilk haze for instance) 6 to 7 mm needles,repeat the pattern in the rows 1 and 3 once more...
(for a good explanation on abbreviations, check www.knitty.com)
Have fun with it!

so much eye candy in one post. Love the fireworks shirt - very rad. That last picture from the Iro book is amazing. Makes we wonder while we all don't paint or draw on our clothes more often. I guess the old idea that in "the Future" everyone would be wearing the same silvery space type uniforms, with no individual expression in fashion, was the very opposite of the present day!
That scarf is beautiful Lies, and such a pretty colour.It is feeling good to be back at the PC once more.
That 70's shirt sure is dramatic :)
Love the pretty girls shoes.
