I suppose I owe you collection photos too.......

Shame on me...I never actually posted photos of any of the finished pieces here :)

Well here we go!

Starting with my 3rd year Iron Maiden collection (the two outfits in the middle are mine):

Followed by my 4th year degree collection "Ice Cream Sunday":

This was an 8 outfit collection with loads of knit and dip dyeing....a few intricate hand tooled eyelet patterns that can't be seen properly and tuck stitching without punchcards.......the machines in college were a bit dodgy :(

I was also lucky enough to be a finalist in the Nokia Young Designer Awards 2010 with a Kick Ass Knitdress Design that made one of the big papers in Ireland and covered half the page :) I'll have to scan in the Clipping one of these days!

Hello Blog.....it's been a while

I kinda forgot about this a little to be honest *ashamed face* not much has happened here since the start of a VERY stressful 4th year....my am I glad that that is over....

So what'S new in the world of Turbo(k)nitty?! Well I recently purchased we another Knitting Machine, a Brother KH 830 with a KR 850 Ribber :D YAY!!!!!!!!

I really want to get back into the swing of things after taking pretty much a year out....college killed the buzz for me! So far I've just been playing with my new toy.....oh yeah and I have another new toy! I got myself a Nikon D5000, so hopefully I'll be super creative and get to do loads of photos!!!!!

I finally managed to cover two Armchairs we got of Mr. Grumpy's mum for our sitting room! One of them is my Hello Kitty Armchair, this was done first. and then I finally managed to use up some of the leftover Iron Maiden fabric from my third year collection to make Mr. Grumpy's armchair. However it seems to occupied more by the cat than Mr. Grumpy himself :D
