Knitting and Music

Hey guys!

 How are you all?

 So last time my blog post was about knitting - I put up some patterns and stuff. Well, today I'm doing what I did with my Ninjago Monday post - I'm mixing up a Music Monday with something else I really like - knitting!

 So how did you all like the patterns? They're pretty cool, aren't they? I can't wait to get on to some more of them - just one more pair of fingerless mittens before I can move on. Next I'll probably do the Corset Gloves, because they look really awesome. :D

 Three of my friends asked me to make them some of the fingerless mittens, so I've been working hard to make them some. :) The first pair were purple, but I hadn't followed the pattern properly - I missed some of the instructions. :/ Thankfully my friend didn't mind. Second pair were blue, and they were made following the pattern word-for-word I kept double checking the pattern. :P Here's a photo of the gloves:

They took about four days to make, which I was quite pleased about. I also managed to sew up over half of the left glove without a sewing needle. It was hard, but I managed it!

Now for the music side of things! :D

So, as I mentioned in the last post, I've been listening to Lindsey Stirling. Her music is amazing, it's really impressive. I've been obsessing over it - well, her music and The Fold's music.
 So the song I'm going to recommend for you all to listen to is 'Shatter Me'. It's a really good song, featuring Lzzy Hale.

Plus it has a really cool music video. ;P

 Also, I've been wanting to get back into playing violin, and listening to Lindsey's stuff is rather inspiring. I can't wait for our bow to get rehaired!

I gotta go now, my school work starts in twenty minutes. :)

 Catch you all around!

Knitting

Hey guys! :D

 How are you all? :D Have you had a good week?

 It's been forever since I posted on here! D: I've been really busy with school, music, rehearsals and other stuff that getting on here is a little hard!

 Anyway, so in the little spare time I have these days, I've been doing some knitting! I love to knit, I find it relaxing, and I can carry it around with me to places. Plus it's relatively easy to knit and watch a movie, or something else. :P

So, I thought I'd share some stuff for you guys to check out!

I've been searching the Web for some cool, free patterns to knit. I've came across quite a few, so I'll show you my favourites.

 Recently I came across this really cool pattern for Fingerless Mittens. I was searching for fingerless gloves originally, but I couldn't find any, and made do with these. They're really warm and comfy, and look great with a knitted beanie in the same colour!
 I also came across some Punk Rock Corset Gloves. I adore them, they look so cool, and the minute I finish knitting fingerless mittens for my friends I'll be making these!
 Then I came across this really cool bag - a Musical Knit Lunch Bag! Of course, it doesn't just have to hold your lunch - it could hold something else! Maybe some pencils or school/music related stuff?
 It's getting into Winter here, and I found this super duper amazing Chunky Arm Knit Blanket. It looks really cool to make, it'll certainly keep me warm if I was to make it. All I have to do is buy super chunky yarn! :D :P
 Lastly, I've given up my loombands - they have something in them that causes cancer - I can't remember the details though. And then I came across these awesome Band Cuffs! They look really cute and fresh, so I'm going to knit myself a ton of them to wear with some of my outfits. :)

 If you're a beginner at knitting, or haven't done any before, you'll probably want to check out these before you try to make some of the above:

•  How to Knit
•  Knitting for Beginners - Instructions
• 9 Free Knitting Patterns For Beginners
•  25 Free Beginner Knitting Patterns

And if you like to knit whilst listening to music, I'd recommend Lindsey Stirling. I really like her stuff. :) Otherwise, you know, listen to something that you find is relaxing or doesn't distract you.

Oooh, look, it's Unikitty! :D


Well, I have to go, have some chores to do and then I'm off to town. Have a great day guys, hope you like the patterns and if you make anything, let me know!

Rainbows and Clouds,
