Today is #catday in Japan!

2022.2.22

This year includes many "2" (nyan - voice of cat) so we call "super cat day".

Let's appreciate that the creature 'cat' exists in this world.

Who made office?

Damn working at home is so comfortable..

But one of my favorite thing when I commute to office is that I can find cool people.

Like this pantsuits bike woman.

Taking a gauge

Looks like squid... lol

I started to knit another one. and

Yes. I took gauge finally.

I’d been ignoring or was thinking that it was not so important to take a gauge even though I had never tried it lol

And in the previous work, mitton, I made that too big than its recipe. It taught me that I should try taking gauge first.

And it was nice experience!

Just after knitted 15cm wide and 5cm height with the yarn I’m gonna start to knit next work, I could recognized the following;

- 1. with my bit loose hand pressure, 2 less rows should be made in 5cm

- 2. the starting stitch should be made with thinner sticks.

For 2, you can see the photo above, 2 cm wider at the beginning. The side with a measure is the end line.

So starting with 1 size thinner sticks would be the better.

It took 1.5h, but it worth trying. I’m gonna knit neck warmer not a wear so no need to be too sensitive, but taking gauge gave me a comfort.

It definitely reduces the risk.

To be continued :) :o ;)

MITTEN⑤ Finish!

Completed making mitton!!

I finally couldn’t make the exact same size as the book recipe, so I adjusted.

But knitting along the recipe or understanding about gage is important,

so for next coming challenge, I would check gage everytime.

Before I knit, I had been thinking,

“Is this MITTON figure NOT convenient to use for everyday-glove?”

Because without cover, there’s no problem to hold handles as fingers are free, but it’s too cold (here in Japan).

Or with mitten cover, when I have to open the door holding phone and key, it is too hard as my fingers are limited.

So if I knit another mitten(not planned yet), I think I should design or find more convenient design.

I use this mitten as I love this autumn color anyway :) ;P

Enjoying fashion can not be bothered by only inconvenience!

MITTEN④ Knowing my hand pressure

OK, why did you become so big?

And why so different? (’・v・`)

The right side I knitted after left one but wrist part is not neat than left one.

This is mystery lol

Ok, I’ve got so many lessons through this mitton-knitting.

Calm down and just make ramen.

Hm. ain’t they definitely more beautiful than previous figure?

Yes they are;)

According to the recipe of this mitton in the book,

I sholud’ve knitted wrist part with stick 3, and palm side with stick 4(1 size bigger than 3).

But when I knitted along that, my mitton got bigger as I can grab about 4 cm around palm when I wear it.

So I re-knitted with only stick 3, the size became my hand size.

Probably it’s because my hand pressure, this happened. But no matter what I make, even if it was programming or drawing, most important thing is ‘DO IT MYSELF’.

Reading just documents can’t be experience.

MITTEN③ Part of back of hand

The act of knitting is making me calm down.

And midnight running.

MITTEN~wrist part done.~

First try. Mmmmmm.....

It’s too loose.

I knitted exactly same as the book recipe.

But I often wonder which is better, ‘Making a knit stitch (start knitting) with 2 sticks or just 1 stick?

The photo above I knitted with 2 sticks. As usually knitting book tutorial says so.

But every time, my knit gets too loose so I re-knit.

This time I reached this solution:

Use bit bigger 1 stick to make a knit stitch!

This isn’t too bad, isn’t it??

Hm. A bit too tight?

However the knit stitch was nice size. As you can see the start line of mitton is bit looser than my wrist.

So this means my knitting way should be looser.

Getting small learning every time. This is the pleasure of making something:)

Second knitting ③

1.5h for the reggae neck warmer, in the night of Tsuguharu Foujita anniversary.

Today’s Google banner was my most favorite.

The paint used for the banner design was this:)

▲Post card I bought in his exhibition(a bit different paint compare to the banner)

▽Today(11/27/2018)’s Google banner

Gooodness so cuuute!

Someone captured the banner, I saw in twitter, but I haven’t downloaded to my pc yet.

I didn’t know 27th November was his birthday.

So in the morning when I arrived at office and open pc, I got big nice surprise. Thanks Google.

And my baby of today.

......Okay, now it’s closer to Rainbow NOT REGGAE.

lol

Second knitting ②

Today’s knitting was just 1h.

I’ve been getting surprised to the color showing up now. It looks like ‘reggae’ lol

My expectation was most parts are black and sometimes yellow/pink.

Thinking how this can be changed more simple and chic...

#Second knitting #neck warmer #reggae

Second knitting ① Started.

I started second knitting with this beautiful autumn color I bought last winter lol

I tried to crochet ear accessory with this that time, but it was too hard to make small thing with this mohair yarn .

So now I’m thinking this can be neck warmer?

Looking forward to see what’s gonna happen XD

#Second knitting #knitting #neck warmer

First knitting ⑪ Done.

YES. It’s finally done! I knitted 2m long, it took time, and it was bit too long XD

But now I’m really happy with this. And I got gifts from this work named ‘home work’.

Next time, I would knit more tidy and select yarn and knitting stick size carefully as this time the yarn was thinner than the recipe in the book.

There are so many things I want to knit and ideas are keeping piled up in my notebook. Carry on.

First knitting⑩

Yes. It’s time to let them meet.

I count the stitch and mark the point of where I start to connect them.

I recognized which side should be back side.

It’s perfect.

How did I mistake??

I THOUGHT I WAS KNITTING SEEING BACK SIDE BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS FRONT SIDEEEEE

OK. Calm down. Of course I mistake because it’s me lol

It was my first time to do grafting. and it gave me pleasure . The process was like ‘making clothes’. Why I feel sort of excitement is because I’ve had a longing for making apparel thing maybe.
