Boyfriend's mum's birthday present?? All wrapped up I'd say...


'2 posts in one day is unheard of!' I hear you say, but there may even be another one yet! So here is a scarf I made for my boyfriend's mum's birthday. Very very simple to make. I just saw a nice coloured ball of wool in Boyes and decided that a scarf would be a nice present. So I just knitted the whole ball and the above picture is the result. It appears casting 50 stitches on and using 6mm needles was ideal as the wool came out in perfect stipes! I think she will love it, or I hope she does.

For a finishing touch I even added a gift tag, made from bits out of a pack of various bits and peices of crafty things which I got from Poundland of all places, in fact they are such good packs, that I now have 4. I'm sure they will come in useful for my course!

So there you have it, just thought I would share that with you instead of cleaning my room and making chicken tikka for my tea... ah best get to it really!

Photoshoot!

Sooo, back at college now, and everything is go go go again!
I've got my new briefs for the term, which I will post about later, (have another post as well, oh aren't you lucky =p), but for now I have to post about yesterdays shenanigans!
For one of the new breifs, PPD, my dear friend Avneet, thought that it would be perfect to do a photoshoot to present as part of a project. I happily obliged to be styled and photographed by Avneet, because, let's face it, I love having my photo taken.
So last Thursday we went into Leeds so Avneet could chose me an outfit. I decided that I needed to be styled for a festival, (although I have never been to one in my life, and the thought of living in a tent with no shower for a few days just isn't my idea of fun, I am sure the music is great though!).
Avneet picked my clothes from H&M, which is a shop I am really loving at the moment, (I may even use it as part of my project, but more on that later). I tried on several outfits and decided on a floaty top and denim shorts, which were in that sale, and so I have decided to keep them instead of taking them back which was my original plan.
Yesterday at college, we took before and after pictures (Avneet styled 3 of us in total), and then we just had a mess around because we booked the studio for 2 hours.
It was great fun, we had a good giggle and got some productive work done. I am going to have a play with some of the photos on Illustrator or Photoshop, so I will let you know the results of that. But for now, here are my before and after pictures, and my favourite photo of me from the shoot...
