Craftwerk

I've been working on a new project lately. I've been going through my idea archive and trying to accomplish one new piece every other night.The project has been mostly successful so far.

The first piece I wanted to work was a strand of viking knit. I used a much smaller gauge wire (~32) than my previous viking knit pieces (~27) here and here. I used six stitches as opposed to three for the previous pieces and it is still much smaller in diameter. In fact it is nearly too small for my computer's camera to photograph much detail. I will upload more of this weeks craftwerk later.

Every Friday I get to repeatedly shove a needle in someones face.

My Little Hill

I sit atop a little hill of half finished projects, all of which must be done by tomorrow night.

Craft Update: Recycled Aluminum Spiral Necklace

Recently I acquired a large amount of salvaged wire from my Dad. Most of it was copper, but some of it was aluminum wire from an old lightning rod system. The first piece I've made using this wire is a chainmaille spiral necklace.

I've got a new project in mind.

I plan to make a simple system flute.

After having looked over my wife's flute and realizing that the keys are completely unlike my penny whistle, I knew I could never play the thing. However, a simple system flute uses the same fingering system as a penny whistle.

I've found several sets of instructions for these flutes, on the interwebs. Tomorrow I will procure the materials and begin the design process.

Craft project finished

I've been working on a crochet choker for Sparkly lady and I just finished it. Here it is.
