:: March 1, 2005 Yeah Toast!
This kind of sad-looking slice of improvised toast represents my progress on the Fryup Knitalong. It was hard to tear myself away from the Clapotis knitting, but I wanted to make Miss Stacey proud. Yeah Toast! ( <-- get a hold of that song via legal or illegal means for full effect) :: February 8, 2005 A Satisfying Plate
My modest accomplishment of the week was finishing the plate for the Fry-Up purse. Here it is with eggs for scale. I went from the Fiesta Tea Set pattern and just kept going until I had a 12" circle. You can't really tell due to the stockinette curl, but I added a row of purling to define a plate-rim of sorts. Now on to the exciting parts! My plan is fried eggs, bacon, toast or hash browns (it might be difficult to convey "shredded fried potato" in acrylic yarn), and an orange slice and/or parsley for garnish. :: February 1, 2005 Fry-Up Shrine
To honor the first official day of the Fry-Up Knitalong, I share with you this link, a shrine to the Fry-Up and the traditional British Cafe. There must be something out there like this for the American breakfast -- any leads? p.s., Jessica suggested expanding the saucer pattern from Annie Modesitt's Fiestaware Tea Set pattern (pdf) for the Fry-Up plate/hat base. I'm doing just that, and I highly recommend it. :: January 25, 2005 Fry-Up! Along
When I saw the Sheep in the City was hosting a Fry-Up Knitalong, I said, "It is time to join my first knitalong."
I wrote to Libby of Creazativity for advice, since she is way ahead of the curve and has made what may be the only living Fryup in creation. She was cool enough to respond with the following recommends:
And of course you can make only the breakfast items that are appropriate to your cultural background. Thanks Miss Libby! :: January 24, 2004 Fry-Up!
"Fryup" hat and purse pattern! The provocative British secondhand bookstore Cult 45, which sells titles such as "I Stole Freddie Mercury's Birthday Cake," has unearthed this one. The only things that trouble me are that the chips look a little slug-like or turd-like, and Americans won't understand peas with eggs. Maybe peas done in variegated white/brown would look like hash browns? (via Not Martha) posted by in Fry-Up! , Knitting :: link
