Knitted teleport bracelet!

[vilakins]

Another hot day today! I had to go into town to meet my sister for lunch at a place she swore was wonderful, but where we ate very substandard pasta (she apologised and said it was really good for dinner which didn't really help). She was buying material for an outfit for a family wedding next month which I'm really pissed off about because it's on at the same time as the Wings Over Wairarapa air show where they'll have a Spitfire. A Spitfire! Newmarket was hot, crowded, and noisy and it's taken me over an hour to cool down.

I have however finally sewn my knitted teleport bracelet together, done using wolfma's pattern here.

It fits well, but doesn't appear to work. :-(


The pink crystal is slightly raised due to increasing and decreasing two stitches.


When I do another one (I have lots of yarn left over), I shall use a better method of knitting yarn in behind than I did for this one, and plain intarsia for the pink to make it stand up more.


On my hand, looking eerily gothic in the shade. :-P

Oh, that's wonderful! You made it look better than I ever could.

Thanks for the corrections to the pattern. :)

No! Your picture was lovely, and you used better (and shinier) yarn! I was pleased to find such a vibrant pink though.

That is so nifty!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Isn't it! Do you knit? The pattern's great!

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Oooh, cool! Stylin'!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

And it doubles as a wrist-cuff! :-D

It doesn't work? :( Alas! I love it though, it's so nifty and creative. :D

It might get me onto a knitted Liberator. ;-) Bit leaky in vacuum though.

Thanks! The kudos goes to wolfma for the pattern though.

I WANT ONE NAOW

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

But you can knit now!

I'm going to make some more. I could send you one. :-)

And bwahaha, when I post a pic of me in my DW scarf, I'll have a Jayne hat and this! Oh, the nerdishness!

that's so cool! I wish my knitting was better

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I only started knitting again a few months ago. I'm getting really enthusiastic now.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

That looks great!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

That's neat. If they'd had knitted bracelets on the Liberator, with some stretch to them, the bracelets might have fitted Cally better. No wonder they were always losing them, when Cally had to wear hers practically on her elbow to stop it slipping off.

I was going to say - fantastic! A teleport bracelet that doesn't fall off!

I do have a proper replica teleport bracelet (http://www.horizon.org.uk/news.php?readmore=102) made by Martin Bower, but I can't wear it as it drops straight off, or I'd have had it at Star One. I should glue some foam inside it, but I'm loath to muck about with it.

Looks great! Shame it doesn't work, but still...very nifty!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

The Liberator must be off station. :-P

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

Oooh very nice! I wish I could knit now (almost).

I learned when I was about 11 and never forgot, though I've only gone back to it this year. I did teach myself how to crochet though, and I have friends who've just learned.

I want to knit things like neck cuffs, the sort of thing I can't buy.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee! Lovely.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm very pleased with it. :-)

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

That's come out very well.

The dalek appendages don't droop, so you could probably get the Liberator's prongs to stay sharp as well.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I doubt my knitting skills are up to it anyway. [wonders if there is a pattern...]

[matildabj.livejournal.com]

That rocks like a rocking thing. Brilliant.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Kudos to wolfma for figuring out the pattern. :-)

Ohhh...great! About this gothic look - I would say "gothic with a taste of horror" - you know, like "gothic novel" - am i right?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yes, That's right! My hand looks as if a vampire drained me of blood. :-P

If I had meant "like a Goth" (those who like to dress up in gothic style), I'd have said that "it looks very Goth". :-)

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

That is so cool. And special thanks for linking to the pattern. If I ever make one I'll tell you & wolfma

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

If I can make one, it'd be a doddle for you! You probably have leftover yarn you can use. :-)
