Alice Lemoine - Knitwear


For those who know me, you're aware that I like anything crafty. I crochet and knit and sew little things, and I love learning new stitches. Have been thinking I want to start a new knitting project so I've been looking around to see what I might should do. I have yarn enough for an afghan, but keep thinking that I want to make a sweater - something I think may not take quite as long as an afghan.

Not long ago, I fell in love with Katniss' victor sweater from Hunger Games Catching Fire movie. In looking around for who created it, I ran across Alice Lemoine's work. I hoped for a pattern that I could use to make one for myself vs having to figure out how to do it myself and found a free pattern for a version of it on yarnspirations, but it's doesn't have the character that the original does - although it gives me enough of an idea of what I may need supply wise and might give me an idea of what size to make each piece. Really love the tail in the back and the un-constructed feel of the piece - would love to have one myself. I imagine Alice used lots of slipped stitches and a big pair of needles - such beautiful work.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.
