The Masked Raid at the Masquerade
So I knitted a gas mask for my fiber sculpture project but it was something I had been wanting to do for awhile...not necessarily knitting, but refashioning gas masks so I'm glad this project came up [it was called 'caught or protected' and we had to figure out how to make something pertaining to those words/ideas]...though the crit for this specific one is over, I'm making different styles in different shades? hues? of white. For only learning to knit last spring and knitting only 4 'scarves' over the summer and never even knitting a pattern let alone designing one before...I have to say I did pretty damn well. I think I did over stuff it though because the eyeholes became a bit wonky as did the 'filter' because it was so bottom heavy. I also chose the garter stitch because it is more appealing and I needed the pieces not to curl. I had a lot of fun...now I'm hooked...or needled...ha.

Also, let's make collaborative glitter masks.
ReplyDeleteThey should expel glitter, though.

ReplyDeletelizz that was one of the funniest nights of my life...for no reason. yeah i like the idea of glitter masks with jewels and sequins too and that everytime you breathe out glitter puffs out of the mask...youjust kind of cant breathe in...still working on that concept.
