slowfashionoctober

Slowfashion (-october)  means to me to made a lot of clothes for my kids' autumn- and winterwardrobe by myself or buy on fleamarket, secondhand and so on. ! For the selfmade clothes I try to use only fabrics and yarn from my stash!
I think I bought in 2016 only one time a few jerseyfabric and maybe 2 or 3 times yarn for special projects! Thats really, really less than the past years. Let's see how long I will need until I empty my stash;-)

Here some impressions of my #memadeclothes for #slowfashionoctober

1.the girls in there ELSASWEATERS (pattern is in the testknitting befor it will be published in ravelry)

 2.The ENIECARDIGANS (also in testknittingphase) and the ELSASWEATERS. Love to make same clothes in different colours for them.

3.,4. + 5. knitting project

driftwood henley sweater , pattern from owlsisters you can find here  It's a seamless sweater knitted from top to down! I changed it a little, cause I don't like to knit the sleeves with 5 needles.

the project I sarted last winter and will be finish hopefully for this winterseason. You see I'm not that much into knittting as into crocheting!

The yarn I use is: LANG YARNS CASHMERE TWEED ! It's really soft and cozy, but looks also a bit irregular, not sure yet if I really like that effect....

electric ripple and diamondsquares

I restarted the electric ripple pattern. I think it will mak e a cushion out of it!
On the picture 3 you can see triangles I cut from an bermudashorts. I will make somethig like a bunting or a mobile with them... let's see!

colourful chaos

Heute morgen überlegt ob ich einen Teppich aus Jerseyresten mache. Häkeln oder flechten und nähen war die Frage... Hab erstmal den Stoffschrank ausgeräumt, die kleine Madame hat ordentlich beim Chaos machen geholfen. Als ich dann den camelfarbenen Jersey in der Hand hielt entschied ich mich doch lieber nur etwas zu nähen was schnell geht. Daraus geworden ist ein schöner Sommer Loop in Camel!
Ob und wann ich mal einen Teppich (oder wenigstens kleine Fussmatten) mache, bleibt offen...
Ich hab einach zu viele Projekte im Kopf die darauf warten angegangen zu werden:
 Stühle abschleifen und neonfarben lackieren, Wand im Flur streichen usw. ...
Hätte der Tag nur 48 Stunden!
