David Bowie cardigan a knitting success
Mum and I love to knit. We have been working on this cardigan for quite a while and just finished it this weekend. It’s a bit big – I want to get a few winters out of it.
Any ideas for who we should knit next?
Here are some of our other knitting projects:
Michael Jackson “Who’s Bad” jumper
Purple Ziggie Stardust/David Bowie/Aladdin Sane pattern drawn by mummy; cardie pattern adapted from Moda Impact Issue 5; magenta skinny jeans by Cotton On Kids; purple sparkly trainers by Converse Kids.

Way to knit Karla and Marshall! The Ziggy Stardust sweater is amazing and looks great on Marshall!

I wish I were are stylish as Marshall. This is amazing!

WOWOWOW

Gosh, I struggle to knit with one colour. Trying to come up with a witty suggestion for the next project but failing miserably.
Jul 31, 2012 @ 22:58:17
Aww – it’s OK I have a few ideas up my sleeve. Knitting with multiple colours is easy once you get the hang of it, just keeping all the balls from getting tangled up is the trickiest part.

Hmm.. you could knit Totoro (http://i2.listal.com/image/919026/936full-my-neighbour-totoro-screenshot.jpg) or maybe a tree spirit (http://www.onlineghibli.com/mononoke_hime/newimages/Kodamas.jpg). I think Miyazaki would look good on you ^-^
I also think Rufio from Hook would look pretty good knit in a sweater.
Jul 31, 2012 @ 23:00:01
Ah great suggestions – Rufio’s hair is pretty much like a bigger version of Ziggy’s! My top pick of those options is Totoro – that would be soooo cute.

I agree! Totoro is the best ^-^

Oh. My. God. How bloody awesome are you??! As if the manligan wasn’t impressive enough … that gif is the icing on the cake!
Jul 31, 2012 @ 23:01:56
yay and I just learned a new word (I had to Google “manligan”, aka manly cardigan). Glad you like the gif – it is my favourite gif to date (and I do lots of gifs ha) x

Nice project with an iconic image. Love it.
(One quibble: That was actually Bowie’s “Aladdin Sane” persona. Ziggy came earlier.)
Sep 11, 2012 @ 19:26:41
Yes we were torn as this is the Aladdin Sane cover, but Bowie himself has described “A lad insane” as simply an evolution of Ziggy/”Ziggy goes to America.” It seems to be quite a debate, so we are going to just call this our David Bowie cardie :)
