Description a very refreshing cotton sweater for the summer the cotton I bought is so soft... it's really agreeable on the skin and the colors give me much energy
hope you guys like my latest creation!

and since I had too many balls of that cotton, I've begun a T-shirt with a slightly different pattern

ouiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii depuis une dizaine d'années... J'avais appris de ma grand-maman quand j'étais petite, puis je n'ai plus touché au tricot jusque vers 25 ans, quand, me désespérant devant l'uniformité des fringues dans les magasins, j'ai voulu faire mes propres habits... alors j'ai demandé à ma grand-maman de m'enseigner ça encore une fois puis, avec le temps, j'ai appris à créer et réaliser mes idées moi-même... c'est cool, je tricote encore souvent avec elle sur mes aprèm de congé...

je comprends que, si on fait ça pour un magasin, on puisse se lasser,... les gens sont pénibles tu tricotes encore pour toi ou tu fais une longue pause??

Cute! Did you use a cotton acrylic blend, or just cotton?

MoonyMina In reply to Cogsie [2017-07-20 13:50:35 +0000 UTC]

Mm nice
You work with cotton a lot? And if so do you mind if I wask you some questions, I"m planning on knitting a wonderwoman cosplay for halloween and am working with a pure cotton yarn for the first time (yeah I know I should have gotten an acrylic blend but this is the first yarn I've worked with thats not pure acrylic... XD)

MoonyMina In reply to Cogsie [2017-07-25 15:22:20 +0000 UTC]

I work with cotton quite a lot... and no, I don't mind your asking me questions no problem

I've done these with cotton only, in fact:

Cogsie In reply to MoonyMina [2017-07-25 15:31:53 +0000 UTC]

Wow those look really good!
So as I've said I've never worked with cotton before, and I was wondering about the care and such? Also cotton supposedly hangs a bit, will I need to add ribbing or anything to a ruffled skirt...?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MoonyMina In reply to Cogsie [2017-07-26 08:33:31 +0000 UTC]

the care is pretty easy... I wash it the same way as my other wool stuff: in my washing machine with the "wool" program... they say it can be washed with regular cotton T-shirts, too, but I haven't tried...

only one thing: the color bleeds A LOT when you wash it for the 1st time, so generally I wash it twice by hand before putting it in the machine with other stuff...

As for the "hangs a bit" part, it's true, but it depends much on the weight of the cotton... on the "mint leave" and the "purple and purple" I used quite a heavy cotton, and it indeed hangs quite a bit, but the cotton I used to the other ones don't, not more than regular wool anyway... I don't know exactly which version of Wonderwoman you'll be dressed in, but I think I'd put a ribbon around the waist anyway to stabilize the whole piece...

hope it helps!! and you can ask me more questions if necessary, no problem

Cogsie In reply to MoonyMina [2017-07-26 12:53:40 +0000 UTC]

I am worried it'll hang as it'd ruin the piece...
I"m planning on modeling it after the traditional wonder woman, with the addition of a skirt on the bottom (same light blue/stars pattern) and a cape on the top to cover my shoulders/make it a bit more modest. 
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/o…
Is there any way I can make the color not bleed so much the first wash, as the pattern has some blue and white for the bottom as well as the yellow and red and I woudnl't want to ruin it...
Also advice on how to stabilize the piece/any stitches I can use to make it stronger and less likely to hang?

MoonyMina In reply to Cogsie [2017-07-26 14:14:13 +0000 UTC]

it's going to look gorgeous, I'm sure!

if I create an outfit with different colors, I "wash" each color separately before with vinegar ... dunno if you've tried that already... but in case you haven't, here is the process: (it works better if you "open/loosen" the ball first, like on this pic: www.google.ch/search?client=fi… put the balls of the same color in a basin /washbasin full of cold water with a bit of white vinegar (usually a mug of vinegar for about a standard washbasin); then wait for about an hour and empty the discolored water... rinse, then put the yarn in cold water... if much color comes out after 15 minutes, then repeat the vinegar step...

about the stitches, I'd go for garter or Jersey or checkers, I guess...

Cogsie In reply to MoonyMina [2017-07-26 15:47:29 +0000 UTC]

Mm thanks I will defeintly do the vinegar thing!
Any advice for teh actual knitting of the piece, as I'm pretty sure what I"m going to do for the ruffled skirt (Knit a large piece for a skirt and then waist band to attatch it to, and since you advised ribbon I'll thread a ribbon through the waist band, an elastic piece if I do two pieces a skirt and top) but any advice for knitting the top? I've never even knitted a sweater before so... ><

MoonyMina In reply to Cogsie [2017-07-27 09:12:44 +0000 UTC]

welcome

for the upper part, personally, I always take a t-shirt / top / jumper that I love (and that is close to the shape you want to create) in my wardrobe, then take the measures from it... like I did here:


then I knit a sample, write down what's the length for 10 or 20 stitches and voilà!! dunno if this answers correctly to your question, but I sure hope it helps!!

Cogsie In reply to MoonyMina [2017-07-27 14:21:51 +0000 UTC]

That's a really good idea!
Only problem is I do not have any sweetheart neckline stuff...
Althoguh I've got plenty of old t-shirts I suppose I could cut one into the right shape....

MoonyMina In reply to Cogsie [2017-08-16 07:07:11 +0000 UTC]

or mix the measuring: a neckline you like with another in the shape you like
