Noted in Passing

Robin L Bergman's incredible sweaters. Select the Products button in the left frame and enjoy the show.

Then, go see the Yarnshifter. Don't miss the Gallery.

Aren't fiber artists getting up to some incredible stuff?

Friday! Watch out for April fools. If in Austin, watch out for people (and pets) crazed by oak pollen.

Cheers!

More Mathemagical Stuff

New source for knitting motifs?

No. Yes. Maybe? This graphic of a cellular automata rule is from a real smarty-pants . The rule below is actually called Knitting, and was created by Tomoaki Suzudo in June 2000.

Wednesday! We're off to an all-day class in Photoshop :-)

cheers!

Mostly Socks

Local Socks!

The finished green ones, in Fortissima Colori, knitted on two circs at the same time:

The new ones, in some old Regia Ringel, also two at a time:

Isn't that the weirdest color combination? I really like it!

Working two at a time has revived my interest in making socks...I hope it lasts, because I need some new socks :-)

Not-Local Socks! The other socks, 150 or so pair of them, I've been enjoying are the socks being blogged along with Alison's Sockapalooza. Nearly all the socks have been finished and exchanged. I hope someone puts up a gallery of all these beauties!

Other

Strange Dolls has a series called Stitch Bitches. I'm a little creeped out! But astonished by the creator's imagination when I peruse the site.

And

Blogged by the always well-informed Cynthia, the new thang in fiber arts: The ShiRRéT™. From the front page: "You can make chic little carpets and fashion magic from fabric scraps!" All-righty then! Line for the bandwagon forms to the left!

Pups

The pups have had a very boring couple of days because I'm having a few problems with my knees. So not only did I have to miss the Boggy Creek strawberries at the local Farmer's Market with Susan, but the pups haven't been walked. Everyone furry is rather grumpy and all I get is the sad-eye.

At least it's Tuesday. Cheers!
