Vintage Sew-a-long: The Circle Skirt

I need to get a move on and make my spring and summer garments, but somehow, for some reason, something keeps distracting me! I need to find my motivation again. I noticed that as soon as I started the Killer Kitsch Designs Vintage Knit-a-longlast year, I became extremely motivated to knit as many garments as I could. Before I would occasionally knit something for myself, but generally I was…

Since Spring weather is right around the corner, we have decided to have spring/summer patterns for our next Knit-a-long (KAL). Going forward we are going to have a theme for most of our KALs. The next KAL (July 1 to September 30th) will be an Agatha Christie themed KAL. This knit-a-long will run from April 1st to June 30th and during the knit-a-long you are welcome to knit one or all of the…

Here are some photos from the knit-a-long including an updated slideshow of finished sweaters.

Here are more progress shots.

After discussions with the core group of original knit-a-long participants, we decided to do this 3 to 4 times a year. We may pick themes from time to time. I’m overjoyed that this community is also building! In addition, we have decided to extend this one until the end of December. That way, more can join in and it gives knitters an opportunity to do two patterns if they can fit it in. Having a community doing the same thing at the same time is motivating and incredibly fun!

If that wasn’t enough, I am being completely blown away by all of the different colour combinations chosen for the two-colour jumper and the work on the cable jumper… oh my!

Below is the next set of progress photos including finished sweaters by Carmen, Michelle, Katy and myself. There will be a few others finished very soon as well.

At last we finally have this up on here. In total this mix has taken us 3 days to compile and upload, the last 5 hours of that have been utter torture with all the soundcloud uploading problems, re rendering and then rewriting this.

So anyway…..here is our/my first non themed mix in almost 2 years, we've kinda avoided doing mixes with current tracks as these days every tom, dick and harry (styles) is stringing together 16 deep house tracks and uploading it somewhere. BUT...

Seeing as we've been lazy, a bit ill, been to a cup final and unable to think of a theme to research for a 'proper' podcast (we're also going on holiday) we elected to try to make a VERY LONG one and maybe that could be our 'theme', so we've strung together 35 tunes in what we think is a great order, there is a mix of various types of dance music, some thrash metal, some 80's AOR and a choir.
