Text of the page (random words):
s on two needles so i decided to try with a pair of needles for each layer i had 2 sets of double pointed needles in 2 different colours so i used them as an easy solution to needing 6 needles the same size and as my swatch was fairly small so i didn t need long needles i also changed the chart working from one main chart showing one layer layer 1 so i could see when i needed to change colour and had small charts of the other 2 layers layer 2 layer 3 so i knew which colour was required on each layer rather than knitting each stitch then moving it to the required layer i moved the working yarn ready for the next colour change and crossed the needles to knit from a different layer i discovered it was easy to accidentally wrap the working yarn from the middle layer around a stitch at the front or back as i changed colours which would look like this and disrupt the pattern to prevent this i always returned the working yarn to its correct position after a stitch and knitted the stitches in a specific order this was the final result this is what it looks like in action i thought it would be good to share this technique as it was so unusual and not a technique that a knitter would naturally develop here are instructions pdf to create this small swatch for yourself i created a set of rules to follow for each type of working position for a stitch and i have provided videos and a photo tutorial to follow this technique has not been tested and i would welcome knitters to try it and email me with suggestions of any improvements to the technique or instructions there is not a written set of instructions of the chart this technique is not suitable for beginners but great for adventurous and curious intermediate and advanced knitters i did not knit through the back of the knit stitch like crum brown as it is not my natural way of working the knit stitch and i didn t want to complicate my knitting further i wonder how close i have come to the way crum brown created his models if i am close it s quite a tricky technique for someone to create and i m very impressed at his knitting prowess i hope you enjoy knitting like alexander crum brown too posted in craft knitting

enjoy a selection of the more artistic quirky and crafty things i encountered so settle down with a drink and enjoy the ride i was surprised how lucky statues are a thing statues that you rub sit on or throw money at to gain luck on the same lines as wishing wells or throwing coins into fountains this is the old town cat in klaipeda lithuania who apparently has a lucky tail the whole mouse sculpture also in klaipeda appears to be lucky the mouse is quite shiny with all the rubbing he gets maybe this lucky statue trend in the baltic is the origin of why poor old greyfriars bobby in edinburgh is losing his nose in st petersburg they have a lucky camel and a lucky cat in st petersburg you have to throw coins onto his ledge to be lucky it s quite tricky he s about 12 feet off the ground i don t know if it s lucky to sit on hans christian anderson s lap in copenhagen but he s getting a very shiny knee the iron boy in stockholm is also getting some attention he s stockholm s smallest public sculpture kind knitters keep him warm in winter i saw some famous statues the little mermaid mobbed by tourists a view you don t usually see of her also in copenhagen by the radhuset lurblæserne the lure players the freedom monument in riga macabre sculptures ghostly monks in the danish king s gardens in tallinn the black ghost emerging from the harbour in klaipeda a skull on the dragon fountain by the radhuset in copenhagen art and other statues in copenhagen another detail from a fountain the stork fountain this pretty tivoli fountain glass sculptures in the trees in tivoli this amazing piece of contemporary art soleil levant by ai weiwei in nyhavn in copenhagen looks great from a distance and is really poignant close up over 3500 life jackets from refugees the sculpture was officially opened on world refugee day 2017 i m not sure if this is art or a cycle path in stroget copenhagen does anyone know it made me think of an underground stream under the street i like how it catches the light lovely polar bear and cubs sculpture has bulletholes in it from wwii in stockholm i liked the sea god in the harbour area greeting us as we alighted from our tender and this sweet lamb in storkyrkan a frog outside a shop tallinn has a strange boot sculpture actually it s a leg and refers to one of two steep streets to toompea hill the long leg and the short leg there were some lovely old painted panels in the old apothecary shop it still operates as a chemist shop but has a little museum room too and all the old shop counters and fittings there was a giant astronaut monkey in a park in riga he s 12 metres tall his names sam and he was created by a russian artist there were cats on top of the buildings this is the cat house and funky stencil graffiti in the streets at the harbour in klaipeda there was a statue of a boy waving his hat at matching girl statue on the other harbour arm he had his dog with him most of the statues were naked in oslo in a distinctive naturalistic scandinavian style of course the norwegian playwright henrik ibsen was clothed and the trolls they were outside many of the souvenir shops there was a scary medieval carving embedded in the walls of olso cathedral and just over the road from the cathedral randomly some chickens since i was in olso and the iconic painting the scream by edvard munch was in the national art gallery i popped in to see it and found it lived up to expectation and i enjoyed seeing his other works there outside the munch room was a small sculpture by vigeland you can see the crowds in the room behind me drawn to the scream there is a large park of his gustav vigeland s sculptures in oslo and the statue of the man carrying a women in the selection above is also by him there were more paintings by munch and other artists in the radhuset the main hall is covered with murals the bench seats had gorgeous wool tapestry cushions on them and were very comfortable the whole building has amazing art incorporated into it i have a friend who lives in olso and he took me to any amazing place off the beaten track hausmania is a squat with a bar nightclub artist s studios and is crazily and creatively decorated i loved this piece of graffiti i saw too olso s opera house is very impressive photos don t do it justice it needs to be walked around and on to appreciate its style and beauty it s iceberg appearance is mirrored by the sculpture she lies in the harbour just off the opera house the first ship behind it is the balmoral the ship i sailed on the most revolting art i found on the trip was made from amber there s a lot of amber in the baltic and really i think they should have resisted the temptation to create these pictures shudder these amber bunnies are a bit of an acquired taste too i loved this art jewellery amber necklace though from the amber museum outside klaipeda i succumbed to the amber madness and now have a more modest necklace and bracelet onto the crafts i hadn t particularly looked out for knitting and craft shops on the trip bu i m naturally drawn to them i also couldn t spend too much time in them as i had company these are what i found knit by marie victoria in gamla stan stockholm sweden was a bit pricey for me so i had a brief scan around and managed not to be tempted to buy there were a few scandinavian brands i recognised and i came away with an impression of an overall soft dusty pale heathered palette it felt very refined calm and tasteful in there cute craft shop in gamla stan with quirky handmade dolls toys ceramics etc out of my price range but lovely it also has a viking gravestone embedded in the wall and an old cannon riga has a fantastic yarn shop hobbywool a series of little rooms in an old beamed building with all sorts of nooks and crannies to discover yarny delights and crafts there was plenty of local breed wools and a large range of kits to make the local latvian mittens there were nice little gifts decorated with stitch patterns and a whole section of handmade crafts by local makers i saw a gorgeous simple cobweb weight natural dark wool shawl there with a slight halo exquisite work tallinn brought the motherload of crafts after i d enjoyed a morning exploring the cobbled streets and defensive walls of the old town i walked into the town square and discovered a huge craft market taking place these guys were in traditional dress selling products made from honey i was keeping my eye out for fine lace shawls as estonia is particularly known for this from haapsalu in estonia but i didn t see any however there were these beautiful hand knitted traditional gloves and mittens they were pure wool i asked the knitter we had a little bit of a stilted sign language knitting chat with lots of smiles there were women demonstrating their embroidery prowess lovely work but i was a bit too shy to talk to them they looked quite formidable there were quite a few stalls with embroidery on them despite everything being set up to make the most of the tourist industry i thought the crafts were authentic and good quality and quite reasonable cheap prices i was keeping an eye out for quirky items as i had experienced some quirky illustrations in computer games from eastern europe and in polish theatre posters and hoped i might see some of this sensibility in art crafts etc i bought a cute white rabbit wooden badge from a local illustrator lucky laika there was a crazy knitted window display then i discovered the art doll shop and museum i didn t go into the museum but the shop was magical and slightly creepy i fell in love with a quirky grey plaid bear holding a bell who has joined my slightly scary doll toy collection i ve named him eugene after eugene onegin the art dolls shop was at the end of st catherine s passage which is another great place for handmade items the right hand building has small makers workshops and shops quite a lot of fashion and some ceramics the passageway itself has a lovely atmosphere despite the tourists you come out of the passage to what is referred to as the sweater wall this initially sounds promising but seemed like manufactured mainstream jumpers with some traditional styles thrown in i wasn t even tempted to look at that point i stumbled across domus linum which i initially thought was just a fabric shop but i spied the wool through the door and went in and came away with 100g of lithuanian lace weight teal coloured wool at only 5 to make my own estonian style shawl with there was actually quite a lot of yarn in there but i didn t have much time to stop and look as my friend was waiting outside i definitely want to return to tallinn again so i ll just round this post off with a selection of architecture shots a lot of doors and decorative manhole covers copenhagen gamla stan stockholm tallinn old town art nouveau in riga oslo i ll be back with a post about what i discovered in st petersburg soon posted in architecture

edinburgh yarn festival 2017 another year has passed and it s edinburgh yarn festival eyf time again so enjoyable to be volunteering and catching up with everyone involved here are some of the stalls

about their yarn festival yarningham in birmingham only in its 2 nd year and the photos of their 1 st year really reminded me of eyf s 1 st event and friday we got to see all the beautiful yarn a
