Pictures, finally pictures

We finally got the whole picture deal working: osti wrote the skript, ette found her camera and I plowed through the unmemorable file names like DSCF3506.JPG. Without further ado (but with excuses for the picture quality especially for the motion blur) I give you Blue Beast:

ein Bild
Blue Beast in all its finished glory.
And I also present you pictures of its progress:

ein Bild
The neck steek before sewing it down with a piece of waste yarn as marker.


ein Bild
Close-up of an uncut steek. You can make out the machine stiches where I sewed them down with dark blue thread.


ein Bild
Before cutting the steeks it had a rather peculiar shape, that frightened me a bit, to be honest.


ein Bild
The most terrifying moment of all: me cutting me very first steek.


ein Bild
And the also terrifying result: steeks cut open.
But as you can see above everything went well. I backstitched all the steek openings to the wrong side and picked up the stiches for the facings from the edge.



And to finish this post of, I have a few random pitures for you:

ein Bild
The Argyle socks for which I lost my motivation. Though I must say, I like the colouring.
ein Bild
The striped cotton sweater, still in its un-enlongated form.
ein Bild
That is the elephant I did for my niece.
ein Bild
And one frontal picture...
ein Bild
and one to look hin in the eye, so to speak.
ein Bild
And finally: my knitted sandwich with cheese, half a tomato and a slice of cucumber.
