My Knitted Clock

What'cha Knittin'?
21

Yup :thumbsup:
Picture my mom: She’s like Sharon Osbourne, only without the bad language. She’s teeny, 65, runs 3-5 miles several times a week and extolls the wonderful virtues of the thong.:rollseyes:

Oh, and seed/moss stitch is the devilx-(

22

I can dig it and all, but just can’t picture knitting thongs for my mother. :rofling:

What’s wrong with seed/moss stitch? It looks pretty cool for some stuff.

23

Oh it’s cool, definitely, I have many patterns that have it as a nice crisp border…but what little of it I have done on a wrap I started it makes me wonder how to keep from going insane! I feel like I’m not too fluid in my motion of bringing the yarn back and forth so often:think:

Yeah, my mom’s a character…she says she’ll hang one of them off her boyfriend’s truck mirror…nice…like garter from his prom date:rollseyes:
My brother is really trying to get the image washed from his brain that I have a pattern not to mention that she might actually wear the silly thing!:roflhard:

24

:roflhard::roflhard::roflhard::roflhard:

I like her and haven’t even met her.

I found the solution to the tension thing. I simply stopped thinking about it. It’s been nice and even ever since.

The pic I posted was from Craftster if anyone wants it, but come on dude! It’s a square! Knit a square of whatever kind, colour, size, and stitch you prefer, choose a backing you like, cut backing to just smaller than the square, cut a hole of the appropriate size for your mechanism, attach mechanism to backing, attach square, attach your favourite hands, and insert batteries. hang it on the wall.

Umm, yeah. Exactly.

Thanks for the idea.

Good job Mason. The beer cap thing reminded me of what some people say here when looking at their watches… “Hey, it’s “beer o’clock”!”

28

Thanks. LOL

29

YAY! Mason :cheering: :cheering: :cheering: :cheering:

Mason, that’s so cool. You did a great job!!:cheering:

31

Mason - so glad you are back - I enjoy reading your posts. Your clock is awsome - I will put that on my “to do list”.

Keep trucking!!!

32

Plastic canvas as a backing is a brilliant idea, Mason! It would be so light and easy to attach the knitting to. I’m glad you’re starting to feel better. :0) samm

33

It looks great, Mason! I love how shiny the buttons are!

I think beer caps would be perfect for yours! :cheering:

34

Great job! :cheering:

35

Oh, is that the correct name for it? Plastic canvas? Learn something new every day :rofl:

It was just an improved thing as I couldn’t lay my hands on cork board. It just looked like it would work.

36

Ooh, I love it! Really great job, and I love the way the buttons look! :smiley: As usual, I’m really impressed by Knitting_Guy!

37

OMG that is awesome! I love the color combonation of the knitted part and the buttons! Its an amazing project… and it’s even more amazing to see those of us who have done it! Way to go!!! :cheering::happydancing::thumbsup:

38

:cheering: What a great idea!! I love the clock, you did such a great job on it!!

39

:happydance: Great job Mason! and a great idea…I’ve been trying to come up with something for Christmas for my 7 brothers and sisters and their families, I was going to try and knit 30 scarves but just the thought…:ick: so this is great and I have a bunch of odd hanked handspun I’ve bought so it will be perfect! Now if I can just get this spinning wheel to work, I could then spin my own and knit that!!!

Keep your chin up, I read your blog and have been thinking of you…

Take care and stay safe

That is SO cool. I saw your mention of it on your blog a few days ago and was hoping you would post it.

Great work!
