Not only are they awesome teachers but they are artists as well.
First Born has made beautiful jewelry.
These are just a few things she has made for me.
More can be seen on her blog
The GrimmWitch of Jersey
on the left bar under My Jewelry.
Last Born is a visual artist.
These paintings are of her grandfather.
This is from a picture of Pipa,as they called him, in the 1940s.
Those who knew my Dad know this painting looks just like him!
I just love this painting and was so thrilled when she gave it to me!
More of her art can be found at The Art Geek.
Look What I Got!!!!
I have been eyeing this
Namaste Bag online for months!
I walked into a LYS to get needles for the Central Park Hoodie I am going to make for First Born and asked the sales person to show me the bag. I almost past out when she told me it was on sale for $36!
There is tons of room for big projects.
I will be showing it off when The Chalk Dust Knitters/Crocheters meet on Thursday!
This is the cable scarf I made for Mr.J being blocked.
It is the Reversible Cable Scarf by Lion Brand made from Adriene Vittadini Trina.
I normally don't like making scarves but I enjoyed this pattern so much I'm sure I'll have another one on the needles soon.
Finally finished Wisp by Cheryl Niamath made from Tilli Tomas Silk 'n Shimmer. I love this yarn!
Thanks to Sunday for recommending it.
First Born is modeling a beret I made out of one of my fav yarns Cascade 220 tweed.
The pattern is from Le Slouch
by Wendy Bernard which was free on Ravelry but is no longer available.
I looked for it on her website but couldn't find it.
I'm glad I have a copy because I know I will make another soon.
Last Born is modeling Norwegian Gloves by Nancy Bush.
They're made with Dale of Norway/Dalegarn Baby Ull. The yarn is nice to knit with but it's not wearing well.
I will make this pattern again but I will never use this yarn again.
Next post will have faceless pictures of The Chalk Dust Knitters/Crocheters meeting.
