Random Knitting and Outfits with Crafts
Apr 21, 2011 by Violet
Time for some more random completed projects. One of the things that’s been missing from here for a while is pictures of me actually wearing the crafts that I’ve made. A couple of people have pointed out that they miss it so there are some photos in this post of me wearing some of the things I’ve made recently!
My biggest recent project (that I’ve actually finished) was knitting this skirt. It was really just a way to use up my yarn stash and also try out making a skirt for the first time.
| It took around a week of knitting during eps of Buffy at night.
Taadaaa…
Much shorter and not my normal style but I think I like it anyway. I didn’t really have anything to go with so I paired it with a plain singlet.
I’m not usually comfortable without something covering my arms though so I re-coordinated it in a more “me” way with a cardigan…
Much more comfortable and still pretty cute! Looking at these photos reminds me I need to add more pink to my hair though!
Another random knitting project I completed was a very basic 1 hour pompom sleepy kitty scarf. I was a bit disappointed with the yarn because the amount of string between pompoms caused gaps. Maybe better in garter stitch but I can’t decide if I have enough patience to try it again XD
A lot of people requested photos of the overalls tutorial I made so taadaa…
They are insanely comfy for wearing around the house… not that I wear stockings and heels with them usually haha!
And now my most comfy outfit! This is what I wear when I come home from a big event and I’m too tired to take out the hair and make up straight away. Throw on a big comfy jumper and big fluffy slippers and BAM relaxation. The jumper is from my tutorial on old sweater customisation here.
Ok now to update those posts with the photos XD |
I really like that skirt! I must say I was skeptical when you said you were knitting a skirt, but it’s turned out very cute and modern! Now I’m considering making one during my marathon Xena evenings…
Thanks Chrissy! Mwahaha marathoning Xena? I’m watching one episode every night XD If you need knitted skirt inspiration you should check out Ravelry, there are so many beautiful pattens there!
i LOVE that knitted skirt! It’s so cute on you!
Thanks Andrea!
the kitty scarf is cool!
:D Thank you Jacci, now I need an excuse to wear it XD
Violet, the skirt looks amazing! Maybe you could do a post and explain how you knitted it? Or how you figured it out? It looks really great :) and it suits you.

p.s. – love the bangle ;)
Heehee thank you ;)
No problems :D I really liked knitting this one so I think I want to start another, I’ll take more photos for a tutorial!
Wow! I love the skirt! Could you maybe share the pattern with us, because I’d LOVE to have a skirt like that!
I can definitely try to remember it :D I might make another one so I can take photos along the way :D
Wow, these look so cute!! I always say that I know, but it’s true! I especially love the skirt and overalls.
Thank you <3
You are so multi-talented :) Your home outfits are cute! gosh, I just wear sweats and bf t-shirts when I’m at home. Your bf is one lucky man ^-^
Bf shirts are the best thing ever invented :D Especially for sleeping in! Haha I think I’m much luckier to have James!
I LOVE that skirt! Oh my gosh, best idea to use up yarn ever! But does it get terribly hot to wear for long? That would be my only concern. However super good idea for going somewhere really cold I suppose. Especially paired with the stockings/heels!
Everything in this post was super amazing, I totally remember that cardigan you remade!
xoxxx
It’s honestly not that bad, I mean I probably wouldn’t wear it in Summer but even in Autumn it’s been not too hot :D Thank you so much!
You’re so talented and creative! I love the lil denim jumper. The lace is such a cute accent.
Haha I can’t resist adding lace to anything XD
hi violet…
you’re pretty much in every picture
I loved your tutorial overralls and still had not seen photos with you wearing it.
cho kawaii …
kisses
Thank you so much Maria Alice! I’ really glad you liked the photo :D
That skirt is amazing! You’ve completely inspired me to learn how to knit.
:D Thank you so much! I’m going to be starting a knit-a-long thing here for beginners if you want to learn?
