I find it interesting that the kids just naturally gravitate to the warm, bright colors that really show up against the green. Mom picks blues and greens with maybe the occasional bit of yellow.

We’re prepping for the weekend…you?

Baby Sac

Another one for Karen’s studio! I have such a good model. Jojo wouldn’t close her/his eyes, but did sit in it willingly for me.

This is knit in some Baby Bee eyelash yarn. My sister kept sending me yarn listings on Etsy with lots of color. During a trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday, I noticed a lot of their Yarn Bee stash was on a mega sale. It felt really soft and she wanted boy-ish colors so here we are!

You know, it’s really hard to photograph a hat you’re wearing. But somehow, I managed to do it even without the flash.

This is a hat I made from a pattern on Ravelry called Spring Beret. I had made two as gifts for the daughters of friends of ours. Unfortunately, my friend accidentally got one in the wash and it felted. So, here’s the replacement! I’m glad I got to make another one since I never did take photos of the first pair.

They knit up very quickly and would be a great way to start working with lace if you’re already comfortable knitting in the round.

I want to make myself one but I owe my SIL one first. Heh.

Amy Caterina's Knit Creatures

You know, that fuzzy yarn that most knitters have in their stash from their beginning knitting days? Most of the time it’s sent to the bottom of the stash once you realize you can’t really see your stitches to know they’re done correctly.

Artist Amy Caterina, current artist-in-residence at CalState Fullerton’s Grand Central Gallery in Santa Ana, CA has managed to use up quite a stash of fun fur. In her installation “This used to be real estate, now it’s only fields and trees.” she knit up several forest creatures—not tiny ones, either—placed in a faux environment of trees and sunny skies.

I guess there is something back in the OC that I have to miss! I’m trying to remember what David Byrne song this artwork reminds me of, but I can’t at the moment.

As seen at the Lion Brand Notebook.
