Knitted Ceramics

This past Christmas, Patrick stumbled across these coasters with knitting in them. I love my little set and keep looking at the vases. Her work is gorgeous:

Wedding Shawl

Here is a shawl that I made this past weekend for a client. She is the mother of the bride and will look very stylish with her beautiful dress and shawl.

Aidan's Visit

This past weekend our little nephew spent a few nights and days with us. I wish I had 50% of his energy! We had a great time.

First we made a spiderman out of a toilet paper roll...


Then, we painted a pig...


Then, he made a car with Uncle Patrick...

Then, we made a Makeit Bakeit (probably not the best idea given the smell, but oh well)...

Putt putt with Uncle Patrick...


And then after a movie, a little art collage project with Aunt Gina...

I'll need a year to plan another summer weekend for 2009!

OC Confession

I have a confession to make. I have become obsessed with watching The OC. I am always in search of new things to watch while I knit and this series is my latest guilty pleasure. There, I said it. Ugh. : )

Doggie Book

There is a great new dog book on the market by Corinne Niessner named Doggie Knits: Sweaters & Accessories for You Best Friend. It is full of very cute patterns and would be perfect for anybody who is interested in taking the Knitting for Pets class coming up soon. There are several patterns specifically designed for pugs, which are the most common pet questions I received because of their wide chests. So cute!!! If you are interested in a copy for class, please let me know and I can see about placing an order.

Also, people knitting for all dog sizes or for cats are welcome in the class. You pick what you want to make and I'll help you through the specific pattern and we'll discuss the differences in knitting for our four-legged kids.

No Picasso

Patrick and I are no professional painters, but we dabble in paintings for wall hangings every now and then. Here are the latest creations.
