Swallowtail Finished

Latest finished knitting project. The Swallowtail Shawl. This was my first attempt at knitting lace. I should have used a lighter yarn. Working with a dark color makes it very difficult to see the stitches. And definitely don't work on lace after a glass (or two) of wine.

I plan on wearing the shawl as a scarf, so bring on the cool weather!

I started taking a pottery class. It's going well, and I feel like I'm picking it up. Here is one of my pieces. I've decided that I want t make orchid pots. I think this piece is adorable. Not it just have to be fired, glazed and fired again. Hopefully we both make it through the journey.

Chunky Green Scarf

While in the midst of several web projects, I also have several knit projects underway. When I realized a sweater I started months ago would not be done before the end of winter 09, I decided to crank out something fast...and what's quicker than a chunky scarf.



The scarf is knit with Lion Brand Chunky in Cilantro and Lemongrass. Using double strands to make it thicker, the pattern is a three-cable braid. The photo could be better...working on it.

Oh, and if you are in NYC, Lion Brand opened up a store on 15th St. They have been coming out with a lot of great new yarns and colors.

Not web news...

But since I'm a Cazwell fan...New song, New Video...

JonBoilard.com

I've been meaning to posted about this new site for awhile. Jon Boilard is a short story author. He approached me to redesign his website after seeing another website I designed for author Manuel Munoz. It was a pleasure to work with Jon who happens to live on the other side of the country, yet grew up a town away from where I was raised. Certainly a small world.

Visit his new site, JonBoilard.com.

Morgan Portrait

Settled in and confident. More photos of Morgan can be found at cockyconure.com.

Sweater for Evan

It had been a while since I knitted something with a purpose. I've mostly been working on my crazy blanket (photos soon) but when I received a recent issue of Knit1 magazine, I had to knit up this hooded sweater for my nephew. I had already made my nephew Garrett a sweater vest when he was younger, but Evan only got a blanket...So I was inspired, and here's the result. What a cutie! (The sweater and Evan!)
