Working space for me is limited at the moment because we are having the conservatory roof replaced and all that art stuff had to go elsewhere. My men arrived whilst it was still dark but at least I was dressed. So at the moment I am finishing off the 'necklace ' I started last week. As you can see this is not going to be in anyway subtle but it is using up oddments of wool which I now have knitted into one long tube. Just a few more bindings and then knit the 'cuff' in yellow I think and a couple of buttons. I will post the finished result - it's looking a bit snake like at the moment.
So here is my view of the work outside in progress - please no more rain!
Now gonna have a whizz round other workdesks to see what's in progress. If you want to join in click here

ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, intriguing necklace and a super way to use up your scraps, I love it. Have a great week RobynO#21
ReplyDeleteOh no, I would hate to have the same thing happen - most of my art stuff is in the conservatory! Hopefully, it's all back to normal soon. On a positive note, it's a chance for you to sort your things as you put them back. Love the knitted necklace - I don't think I've seen one before! There are a lot of firsts on your blog - like that knitted dissected rat thingy I remember seeing, LOL! Happy WOYWW Jackie! zsuzsa #39
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, I hope the work goes well and the rain stays off. Your necklace is very colourful and does look a bit like a snake. I look forward to seeing it finished. Barbx #28
ReplyDeleteI just love that necklace you are making - cannot wait to see the finished result - you have me puzzled!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year - Hugs, Neet 13 xx
Oooh that necklace made me think of the "bobbin knitting" I used to enjoy as a child. I think when I've used all the lace off my wooden bobbin, I will make a knitting bobbin for my granddaughter to learn on.
ReplyDeleteI saw the super storage in Tiger too, and have promised myself that when I've finished decluttering my stash I will invest in some

ReplyDeleteGreat necklace - fun colours. Hope all has gone well for the roof - is it finished now? It has been dry and sunny here all day, so trust it has for your workmen too.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

The roof is off but it has to have new supports and such so not finished until the end of the week :( At least it was dry today but I hope it's not windy tonight or the tarpaulin may blow off.
DeleteI'm hoping for no wind for you! The necklace looks like a great way to use up all those odds
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie
ReplyDeleteI had a zoom in on the pic of your necklace, it's really unusual. I'm going to show it my knitting friends.
Hope the building work goes well. It's an exciting project

Finished the necklace. Will blog it tomorrow - as for the roof the tarpaulin leaked with rain and wind last night. Hope it dries up enough to put roof on today.
DeleteAh I definitely recall bobbin knitting as a child - it reminds me of that (though obviously much better!). I love the different colours and textures you've got there. Happy crafting, Max #46 :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun finding a way to use up all those bits and pieces! Love that necklace.
ReplyDeleteI had planned to visit sooner, but right after I linked to Julia, my electricity went off. It came back on a short time ago, so now I'm trying to catch up with everyone. Sounds like you are in a similar quandary with rain, high winds, and workmen visiting early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bold necklace, and hard to believe it came from scraps. Happy WOYWW on Thursday from #1.
That is a beautiful necklace! I like the "beads", very colorful. Hope the rain stops to men can get work done and you can have your space back. Diane #35
ReplyDeleteThat looks so fun! I never seen knitting like this before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by mine
Wow, great knitting! Love that you're using odds and ends, it's like a mystery trip! Good luck with that no rain thing...I fear that your luck may not hold....
