Wind and Waves Sweater

I finally got around to weaving in all the loose ends on this one, so I can display it proudly.

And proud I am. With this sweater, I designed it start to finish, and tried some techniques I'd never done before. It's definitely a one-of-a-kind. Too bad it's only about a size 2 -- I don't know anyone who can wear it!

Winter never really comes to Southern California, but I still go on knitting hats, scarves, gloves...

It's as crummy as it gets here right now -- about 50 degrees and raining -- so the girls pulled on their handmade cozy stuff.

Teaching and Learning

Many things to catch up on -- it's been almost a year since my last post -- but I feel like I've taken a new step: I'm teaching a friend! She's one of my favourite people, she was a Fine Arts major at college (so she has great artistic sensibility), and she's a quick study. Now I have someone to talk yarn, patterns, colours, designs with. And I think together we can take our craft to the level of an art form. I'm teaching her, but I think I will learn from her too. Looking forward to it : )
