My focus has been more on skill development and understanding the mechanics of the mavhines. However, this summer I have made two cardigans and this vest for myself. I made the vest from a pattern by Helen Koshak of Newton's Yarn Country. The yarn is wool Ray and was knit on my Brother KH836e machine. I'm pleased with the vest and hope to get to wear it through the fall. Pants are stretch gab from Heddy's in Las Vegas and my TNT Ascona pattern. I hope to make another vest before we pack up the machines.<div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BnxQ7VVhHMQ/V7nkLKANSrI/AAAAAAAABeQ/amoxm2M0RtU/s640/blogger-image-2133880456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BnxQ7VVhHMQ/V7nkLKANSrI/AAAAAAAABeQ/amoxm2M0RtU/s640/blogger-image-2133880456.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LeNracm-3Rk/V7nkMByPpQI/AAAAAAAABeU/kQlIoqu22cY/s640/blogger-image-249762170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LeNracm-3Rk/V7nkMByPpQI/AAAAAAAABeU/kQlIoqu22cY/s640/blogger-image-249762170.jpg"></a></div></div>Teddylynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00216962907654097449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814201123556105190.post-86069712027057454232016-04-03T16:14:00.000-07:002016-04-10T13:52:11.041-07:00And Another Loes Post.I thought I'd share some of the colors and textures featured at Loes Hinse's boutique in Carmel...I am not sure I like the wider leg pant on ME...or maybe I need to choose a top that is shorter and/or closer fitting. I do like these colors and textures, however! Final photo is the same top as the one above it. The tan one is the pattern as designed. The V Neck Shirt. The striped one has squared side seams and a boat neck. I'm wearing stripes with RTW leggings. I like this look better on me...maybe I will adjust back to wider leg pants in time!<br>

Here are a couple of new ideas, but not the best photos! This is a new seminar top pattern. Raglan sleeves and a neckband for the finish at the neckline. It is being worn over a tank/camisole of the same fabric and kind of bunched up. Note to self that it doesn't need the layered garments.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qqAuWGEqDVo/VwE9vIho__I/AAAAAAAABb4/N1X0hK2opmc/s640/blogger-image--121168675.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qqAuWGEqDVo/VwE9vIho__I/AAAAAAAABb4/N1X0hK2opmc/s640/blogger-image--121168675.jpg"></a>The tank is the one from the tank dress pattern. Loes suggested making a size larger and adding @4" to the length. I like these changes. I also did the double serge hem, making it a bit longer yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ivwzVbCWTpg/VwE9wcin04I/AAAAAAAABb8/5C6Uw4mtM-c/s640/blogger-image--1252785666.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ivwzVbCWTpg/VwE9wcin04I/AAAAAAAABb8/5C6Uw4mtM-c/s640/blogger-image--1252785666.jpg"></a>This top is a Bianca with a modified boat neck. Made in medium rather than my usual size and a couple of inches added in length. I like it! BUT. The sleeves are too long for my taste. Just not comfortable for me. It will be a easy fix to cut off an inch or so. Like most of Loes's designs, this is a comfortable outfit but a little less casual than jeans and t shirt. Pants are Ascona. I have a few more items made but not photographed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm anxious to see the new The Look for more ideas!

It was excellent! Before doing any sewing, we first met at Loes's boutique in Carmel to discuss new trends and to try on new looks. Here are a few of the looks I tried on...<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RAoPGkRjvcI/Vvcb30ThlII/AAAAAAAABbU/tSKzR44bZHE/s640/blogger-image-935171542.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RAoPGkRjvcI/Vvcb30ThlII/AAAAAAAABbU/tSKzR44bZHE/s640/blogger-image-935171542.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ghbznQyCqXA/Vvcb7yj-fRI/AAAAAAAABbg/iNBExe84YiY/s640/blogger-image--1897366407.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ghbznQyCqXA/Vvcb7yj-fRI/AAAAAAAABbg/iNBExe84YiY/s640/blogger-image--1897366407.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SjC2QTdLBGc/Vvcb6jC6xrI/AAAAAAAABbc/e4xKLYFqf30/s640/blogger-image--1507192538.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SjC2QTdLBGc/Vvcb6jC6xrI/AAAAAAAABbc/e4xKLYFqf30/s640/blogger-image--1507192538.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PFGsKW0fLik/Vvcb5SvaWVI/AAAAAAAABbY/lwduY7WjnW0/s640/blogger-image--2020833671.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PFGsKW0fLik/Vvcb5SvaWVI/AAAAAAAABbY/lwduY7WjnW0/s640/blogger-image--2020833671.jpg"></a>I<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> also included this photo of Loes wearing the current look of her garments. The pants are all Harpo, a seminar only pant pattern. I'm wearing a peach colored tank top and a variety of over garments. The long sweater is a LH pattern and the two short jackets are new at seminar. Layers are definitely the current look. Loes's light colored top is a Bianca cut much shorter and it fits just below the waist. I think she said it is 12" from armscye to hem. The Irish for hems is a double serge, not turned hem. Very fresh, very flattering! The most significant news is how valuable The Look (electronic newsletter) will be in the future. New patterns of a commercial nature are NOT on the horizon. Rather, Loes will share new ideas and sewing tweaks via The Look.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I am not an employee, NAYY etc. I enjoy sewing these clothes and wearing them. I also enjoy the seminar experience and will definitely return. Next blog post will include the garments I made during my stay in Carmel. You will notice that traditional jackets are not currently being shown. The soft look has become more popular! More to follow soon!</span></div>Teddylynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00216962907654097449noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814201123556105190.post-24433416554216999012015-12-14T16:34:00.001-08:002015-12-14T16:34:19.672-08:00A New Machine for MeThe top photo is my most advanced swatch!

I made two more garments on my Brother knitting machines but only have a photo of one. This one is the Take a Turn sweater by Mary Anne Ogre. It can be downloaded I for free on Ravelry. I omitted the cables, but otherwise carefully followed the pattern directions. The yarn was purchased from Newton<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">'S Yarn Country in Anaheim. I'm not sure of the color, but the yarn is their Four Seasons brand. Anyway, I am improving and enjoying the process.

It is the second sweater I have finished since beginning the journey of learning to knit on my Brother KH836e knitting machine. The yarn is from Newton's Yarn Country. It is acrylic with a textured finish and a bit of sparkle. The pattern is Butterfly sweater. The sleeves were much too long for me, so I learned to unravel and knit top down to finish the sleeves at a shorter length (thanks Helen!) also, Marianne was extremely helpful in answering my questions via Etsy messages. <div><br></div><div>I know this is s crummy photo, but it is a photo π³.

So, I conferenced with my trusty sewing advisor and came up with this combo. I had decided on the Cirque dress by Marcy Tilton. My local fabric store, Heddy's Fabrics, had this tan lace fabric with metallic highlights. The fiber content is cotton/nylon. But where is the pink? I bought bright fuchsia rayon challis and incorporated it into the ensemble. I lined the collar with the rayon and made an underdress/slip of the rayon. The pink shows through the holes of the lace but isn't overpowering. I like it!Teddylynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00216962907654097449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814201123556105190.post-46639927016670090172015-06-07T08:07:00.001-07:002015-06-07T08:29:25.136-07:00Two Marcy Tilton Projects<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I wanted to try a few new patterns for fun and for the challenge! Both pieces are finished, but I'm not sure how much wear they will get! The jacket (9035) is a fun garment made from uniquely shaped pieces that gave me a chance to use the seam ripper quite a bit. The fabric is a poly taffeta from Marcy Tilton. I will wear it with black or dark brown slim legged pants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The dress is V9112 made from a red tag fabric at Joanns. A wearable muslin. It is huge. I made the size M per pattern measurements. I am currently making muslin #2 with an altered size pattern. I made a "smedium" by tracing between the size small and medium. I need the bust closer to the M, but shoulders S and below the bust S is still generous. Hope to finish this version today or tomorrow π.</div>

This is the first pattern in the Brother book for using the Knitleader. It is a dropped shoulder sweater, shown as a striped red and white in the book. I traced the size medium and used the Knitleader to guide me. Easy peasy. I sewed it together on my sewing machine and there you go! Yarn is something purchased at a parking lit sale at Newtons Yarn Country in Anaheim, CA. Might be rayon? Next project still in my thoughts.

No issues at all in construction or fitting. I buttoned it, but wore it over a ss LH perfect tee and white denim SA Willow pants. I have made so many tees and Willows that I just don't take photos or post information about the. TNT patterns that I enjoy wearing and that fit without much adjustment. Boring sewing? Not really, but not exciting either!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I just finished 2 pairs of LH crop pants (seminar pattern but also detailed in one of The Look issues) and yet another pair of Willow pants to coordinate with jacket above. I will wear these items through the summer and know that I can pack and go easily. I bought 4 or 5 new tee ahirts this week too--dressier ones that will make my simple garments a bit more polished. I happily live a very casual life. I do not want elaborate outfits that do not fit my activities. I love to snoop shop and study fancy finishes with great interest. I just do not wear that type of garment. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Time for pool patrol for the grands.

I am not able to find all of the original punch cards but there are downloadable cards online. I printed out the downloads and with a blank punch card and a punch, I made my own! Not without some errors, but again I'm learning! To prove it works, I did put it in the Brother KH836e machine and created my first sample of faire isle/two color knitting! Whoopee!

I am still learning technique more than producing garments, but this time there is a productπ. Made with my Brother KH 836 machine. I used two types of cream color yarn remnants--acrylic. The pink/purple is hand dyed sock yarn from an Etsy Shop called Lazer Sheep. Nothing special about the hat. Cast on 160 stitches and knit a total of 210 rows. I knit 70 cream, 70 pink, and another 70 cream. Seems like it would be easy, but I had to rip out and start over when about 3/4 done. I'm learning to use transfer tools, yarn winder, and ripping skills. All good!<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0m9KCEJssNA/UvvJIPNHcII/AAAAAAAABGw/g0LogdlB8AU/s640/blogger-image--788415601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0m9KCEJssNA/UvvJIPNHcII/AAAAAAAABGw/g0LogdlB8AU/s640/blogger-image--788415601.jpg"></a></div>Teddylynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00216962907654097449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814201123556105190.post-14823967397487517112013-12-25T15:11:00.001-08:002013-12-25T15:11:39.702-08:00Merry Christmas!Best wishes for a Merry Christmas!

I bought it when/before I retired and did not bond with it. Frankly, I was intimidated and was never even able to cast on or form stitches on it. Into the cupboard it went. Years later we moved and the machine found itself once again on a high shelf in the sewing studio. That was almost two years ago.<div><br></div><div>Recently, there have been a few enthusiastic machine knitters posting on Stitchers Guild. Knitters from novices to the very experienced have piqued my interest again. So, while reading the posts I gained a little confidence and the support of a local friend who had done a lot of machine knitting in the past. Knee surgery, machine maintenance, a little fear of failure, etc., kept me from getting started. </div><div><br></div><div>BUT, I have finally had a few successful experiences with my machine! No garments no real projects, but a few sample attempts! Whoppee! With much time and practice, I think I can do this! I'm hoping for a simple hat or scarf in the near future.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is my first attempt: I can't move text and photos, so first photo is my first time being Balt to cast on and knit a bit. Last photo shows I finally got to hang the comb and weights. The middle two show the progress and the weights moving up the yarn. I'm hoping to make more progress!<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--tLlfb-fH1M/Uqs8atzVx8I/AAAAAAAABGU/_QiLInDbF-o/s640/blogger-image-717988268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--tLlfb-fH1M/Uqs8atzVx8I/AAAAAAAABGU/_QiLInDbF-o/s640/blogger-image-717988268.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--tLlfb-fH1M/Uqs8atzVx8I/AAAAAAAABGU/_QiLInDbF-o/s640/blogger-image-717988268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2Bu4WKyKF0k/Uqs8OJDC3wI/AAAAAAAABGE/yVLKWQpTDqM/s640/blogger-image--1904016590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2Bu4WKyKF0k/Uqs8OJDC3wI/AAAAAAAABGE/yVLKWQpTDqM/s640/blogger-image--1904016590.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KcYq-4qoTbQ/Uqs8XLv_1DI/AAAAAAAABGM/tkW1PZ_i6uI/s640/blogger-image-196158452.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KcYq-4qoTbQ/Uqs8XLv_1DI/AAAAAAAABGM/tkW1PZ_i6uI/s640/blogger-image-196158452.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-qNWTzEdD3oU/Uqs8I0_G38I/AAAAAAAABF8/3SQfu4bV5Vo/s640/blogger-image-255772367.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-qNWTzEdD3oU/Uqs8I0_G38I/AAAAAAAABF8/3SQfu4bV5Vo/s640/blogger-image-255772367.jpg"></a></div></div></div>Teddylynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00216962907654097449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814201123556105190.post-73017909724594120112013-12-11T16:56:00.000-08:002013-12-11T16:56:00.305-08:00Mix and Match<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Quick post on my way out the door! I once took a sewing course with Patti Palmer who suggested making a holiday outfit from TNT patterns. The fabric you choose makes it an everyday outfit or a special occasion one. I am pleased with my easy-to-make and comfortable suit! Pants are Style Arc Willows and the jacket is Loes Hinse Princess (seminar) jacket. Fabric is from my stash--a flocked black twill. I'm off to lunch with a sewing friend!<br />
