This last week&#8217;s challenge was to show where you knit, and like most of the other participants I knit everywhere. I knit on the bus, train, and the tube, in waiting areas, in lecture, in caf\u00e9s, yes everywhere. And like most others I have a favorite corner in the couch where I knit, right in front of the TV so I can listen to my favorite shows while knitting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve signed on for a new KAL going on at the Norwegian forum DinHobby. It&#8217;s named the Sexy Summer Along, and the plan is to knit something to wear this summer that makes you feel gorgeous and sexy. I&#8217;ve been planing to knit the Plum Perfectica dress from Vouge Holliday 2006 for a while, a project that I think fits this KAL properly. There&#8217;s a pic from the magazine further down on this site. The Kal started Mars 15th and even though I&#8217;m in a hurry to finish the baby sleepingbag before the receiver grows out of it, I couldn&#8217;t keep my self from starting on the dress. The pattern is so fun to knit and really adictive, it is so cool to see how the project developes. On the picture I&#8217;ve just finished one and a half of the 8 repetitions which make the body of the dress. I&#8217;ve been struggling with the light in my pictures tonight, the color of the dress is much more purple than what the picture shows and the pattern didn&#8217;t come out as good as I wanted to. I&#8217;ll try to take better pictures next time. But as you can see from the Exhibitionist picture of my couch there&#8217;s no purple dress there, the reason is that I really have to finish the sleepingbag. So the dress is stored away and the sleepingbag is back on the sticks. I just finished increasing the stitches for the arms on the back piece, so there is not much left: the arms, the hood and the finishing. The sleepingbag turned out to be an incredible boring project, but now I&#8217;m hoping that the unfinished dress in the closet will motivate me to finish it fast.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img360.imageshack.us\/img360\/8616\/kasexysummer1kt5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img134.imageshack.us\/img134\/4493\/kasexysummer2gg1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img402.imageshack.us\/img402\/840\/exhibitionist3gv8.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Det er artig \u00e5 se hvor like og ulike vi strikkere er. Eksibisjonist 3 handlet om hvor vi stikker, og tar du runden til deltagernes blogger vil du finne mange like svar p\u00e5 utfordringen. Jeg skiller meg ikke s\u00e6rlig ut fra mengden, som de fleste strikker jeg stort sett over alt. P\u00e5 bussen, undergrunnen og toget, p\u00e5 venterom og i cafeer, p\u00e5 forelesning og s\u00e5 videre og videre. Og i likhet med flere har jeg okkupert en bestemt krok av sofan, rett foran tv&#8217;en s\u00e5 jeg kan h\u00f8re p\u00e5 favoritt seriene mine.<\/p>\n<p>15. Mars startet Sexy Sommer Kal p\u00e5 <a href=\"http:\/\/dinhobby.no\/forum\">DinHobby<\/a> hvor vi skal lage noe som f\u00e5r oss til \u00e5 f\u00f8le oss lekre til sommeren. Jeg har lenge hatt lyst til \u00e5 strikke Plum Perfectica kjolen fra Vouge Holliday 2006 (det er et bilde fra magasinet lengre ned i bloggen), og denne alongen var en perfekt anledning til \u00e5 f\u00e5 det gjort. Selv om jeg egentlig har det travelt med \u00e5 f\u00e5 ferdig kj\u00f8reposen som jeg holder p\u00e5 med, s\u00e5 klarte jeg ikke \u00e5 la v\u00e6re med \u00e5 begynne p\u00e5 kjolen. P\u00e5 bildet har jeg kommet s\u00e5 langt som til en og en halv av rapporten som skal gjentas 8 ganger, og som utgj\u00f8r kroppen av selve kjolen. Jeg har hatt problemer med lyset p\u00e5 bildene mine i kveld s\u00e5 fargen og detaljene kommer ikke s\u00e5 godt fram som jeg skulle \u00f8nske. Som du ser p\u00e5 Eksibisjonist bildet av sofakroken min s\u00e5 er det derimot ikke kjolen som ligger der, men kj\u00f8reposen. Jeg m\u00e5 bare f\u00e5 den ferdig, s\u00e5 kjolen er pakket bort inntil videre. Jeg har akkurat gjort ferdig \u00f8kingen til armene s\u00e5 det er ikke s\u00e5 mye som gjenst\u00e5r. Dette prosjektet viste seg \u00e5 bli utrolig kjedelig, men n\u00e5 h\u00e5per jeg at den uferdige kjolen vil motivere meg til \u00e5 f\u00e5 det som st\u00e5r igjen unna i en fei.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m having so much fun with the Exhibitionist, seeing how alike the Knitters are, and yet being quite diferent.
