Steampunk Elements final stage

As posted below I will be sharing the elements (pieces) that make up my one-of-a-kind hand knitted Steampunk Adventures . .  . . the second element is the dress, I worked Bon~Bon which I worked mostly as per the stitch pattern, but omitted the ridge rows on the sleeves, working them in an ivory white along with the top raglan part of the dress, worked the main body in one color to match the petticoat  

For the sleeve embellishment, I gathered up the sleeve cuff and added tulle lace trim along with working one ridge row in an accent


To complete the look I added a corset/utility belt by casting on the same amount of stitches at the waist and working the simple seed stitch pattern, complete with back button closure . . most of the Steampunk adornments were securely fixed to this removable belt. Fingerless-Mitts help with the final look along with a Lace Stitched Neck Choker, something I do not wish to reveal in any pattern in order to protect my creative inspirations in producing these one-of-a-kind ensembles that I sell via eBay, this one is currently listed for sale . . Listing Link

Steampunk Elements

As posted below I will be sharing the elements (pieces) that make up my one-of-a-kind hand knitted Steampunk Adventures . .  . . 
Begins with a Petticoat, where I make use of my pattern called Three Steps ~ for this particular one I replaced the eyelet pattern worked in Step One with the stitch pattern from 'Bon-Bon' ~ a dress pattern that will become the second element . . 

 


Once the elements are all together, more detailed embellishments will be added, for now I gathered up a portion of the petticoat to add the buckle detail

New Year Steampunk Romantic

Where have I been you may be wondering . . . ............... since late spring, on through summer and fall of last year, my time has been allocated to the continued purging of household items via multiple garage sales in readiness for a big move coming real soon this year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . in the meantime I have been keeping my needles busy when I can and thought it time for both this update and what's currently on my needles .  . working on one of my popular Steampunk Adventure outfits where I make use of my existing patterns with minor modifications for one-of-a-kind ensembles, I will try to post about the details as I go along . . . here is my color palette for what I am calling 'Steampunk Romantic'

February's Steampunk Romantic

Continuing the themes as depicted in volume one of  Kalendar Kidz I worked the 'City Chic' patterns, featuring 'Bon-Bon' tunic dress paired with the vest, Je t'aime, in a theme I thought suitable for February's Valentine's Day, in a unique Steampunk style with a touch of romance, paired the dress with my petticoat pattern, 'Three Steps'  . . . my slim customized Gotz Happy Kidz model has a newer wig in the form on a long, wavy one with highlights, perfect for this occasion

Adornments in the form of a necklace I took apart along with 'Steampunk' charms for a finishing touch
