Vhere there is a Vill there is a Vay! 2019 Part 3


Vhere there is a Vill there is a Vay! 2019 Part 3

I carried on Knitting the Head Lights in Light Grey.

Dark Grey Wheel
 









The Spare Wheel I did in the Dark Grey as the Pattern stated.

Threading Light Grey













After I realised my mistake with the colours I decided to keep all the lights Light Grey. Instead of having more loose ends I threaded the Yarn through like before.

Left Light
















I found a problem with the Pattern. On the Left Side facing the Pattern it shows 2 lots of Red Stitches.

Right Light

















On the Right Side facing it shows 1 lot of Red Stitches. Incidentally I found it quite ironic when the flash from the camera decided to be on the Indicators.

I decided to Knit both sides the same. I had enough to contend without making things for difficult.

Miscounted White Stitches











Another mistake. I miscounted the number of Stitches. I have had to adjust the Pattern slightly.

Vhere there is a Vill there is a Vay! 2019 Part 2


Vhere there is a Vill there is a Vay! 2019 Part 2

Now the piece is actually beginning to look like knitting.

Grey 8.5 Inches













Since I have slightly altered the pattern I thought it would be a good idea to have a record of what I was doing. This is roughly 8.5 Inches.

Starting the Tyres








After I have used one whole Ball of Grey Yarn I started on the Tyres with the Black Yarn.

Adding the White













Once the Tyres were finished I could start on the Van’s Bumper.

All of a Tangle











The problem with adding all these Balls of Yarn is they have a tendency to knit themselves into a Tangle.

Tangle Tidied












Before I carried on I thought I better have a tidy up. I untangled the Grey and White Yarn; cut off the Black Yarn and sewed in the ends.

Long Gap










The Bumper didn’t take long to do so I started adding the Red Yarn. There was a bit of a Long Gap between two parts I needed to do.

Threading Through















Rather than adding another Ball or leaving a long Loop I decided to Thread the Yarn through the back of the Stitches.

Wrong Colour










Darn it! I have made a mistake. I have accidentally used the same Grey for the Headlights as I have for the Background.
