Knitted teleport bracelet!

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

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

That looks great!

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.

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

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

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.

That rocks like a rocking thing. Brilliant.

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

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