This is an experimental blogging day to try and push your creativity in blogging to the same level that you perhaps push your creativity in the items you create.

Reminiscing About PJs
Knit Crochet Blog Week: Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity.

Chirality
Mosaic knitting is awesome, and these Chirality socks are a great example of how beautiful mosaic knits can come out when you use high-contrast colors.

Talven vihreä pipo
I started this hat last November and had to put it down to complete Xmas gifts. Even though the pattern isn’t written in English, it has a chart so it’s easy as pie to follow.

Ribbed Watchman’s Hat
I made this hat for my Grandpa for X-Mas. It was very simple but grueling.

Wildflower Meadow Shawl
This was a mystery shawl that started in June, 2009. I managed to keep up with clue releases until clue 4, and then I fell behind and eventually gave up on the shawl altogether until August 2010, when I motored on it and finished it for my birthday.

Miniature Knitting
Did you know that Coraline’s star sweater, as well as various other articles of clothing in the movie, were hand-knitted? They were made by the extremely talented Althea Crome, and what she creates and how she goes about it are amazing! You can read a nice, long interview with Althea over at OregonLive.com, or view more of her work on her personal site, Bugknits.
Here’s a video that gives you an idea about what she has to do to complete one of her miniature projects.
