Savin Me - a different kind of creativity

You may call it scrapcomputering maybe? Music by Nickelback. I'm a bit tired of this song by now, but the video is great!

Soft data

For treasurus papers, or treasurus moments, or for worn out folders, knit a special cover. I made this cover for P that was in need of a soft environment for her soft data. I measured the cover and made a test knit with the yarn and pattern. Then it is simple mathematics to figure out how many stitches that are needed to cover the folder, with the addition of a fold to keep it in place. I decided to make a rib stitch cover and to do the fold in gather stitch. After working in ribs for a while, I couldn't help but to make some cables... The cables made the piece a bit smaller than with only ribs, so I had to glue the cover in place. My original idea was to make the cover removable. The last touch was a P in linnen with a lace edge that I sew in place with some pretty leftover yarn.

Craft speed 1.3 per hour

Time to think of the invitations to the wedding and I figured last Saturday's scrapping marathon was the time to start. Many thanks to L who let me use her chinese love sign and invitation ("inbjudan" in Swedish) stamps and 3 different types of glue. First time scrapping, I managed to make 16 cards in 12 hours. The idea is that the invitation card will reflect the spirit of the wedding and that all will be different. Just like my dress. ;)

I've done some recycling. The threads are fixed by old mother-of-pearl buttons on the inside and some have buttons on front. The copper thread is actually copper wire from our worn out kettle. The music notes are copies that didn't turn out well, I brought them to the marathon since I think that notes are beautiful and figured that I would find use for them one way or another.

Crafter at Sci Fi exhibition Stockholm

This is maybe not the most vital part of the artoo of a much loved one, but it is the part that I've contributed to. Artoo made a great success at the SciFi exhibition, check it out here (part 1) and here (part II)!

My last obsession has been textile printing using stenciles which suddenly became useful when making the R2D2 t-shirt. The next one I will print will probably say "mine" our "occupied"!

My last contribution to artoo's health has been a recreation kit with a wheel formed pillow for the dome and a tube shaped blanked for the "barrel" part.

I also got a patch at the exhibition for my jacket-that-is-still-not-ready that will go perfect with the captain style "united federation of planets - starfleet marines". Aye!

By the way, have you ever tried knitting backwards? I have to try it out!
