weather, update, projects
We are having winter today-
It was cold in my studio, but it was cold everywhere else too, so I worked anyway.
Here is the one week update on my blanket project-
technical information - I cast on 155 stitches with worsted weight wool. I am doing only garter stitch. I am using size 10.5 plastic circular needles, 29 inches long. It is about 50 inches wide and so far about 18″ long. It weighs 1/2 pound so far. My design- knit irregular rows (ie 3 or 5 rows of each color except when I run out of yarn), 2 shades of similar colors and a dark brown stripe between. The goal- use up what I already have.
I am working on Valentines with several thoughts in mind. I am thinking of doing the cafepress cards. And several galleries I know are having small works February Valentine’s themed shows- some for charity, some not. We’ll see where I end up going. These are similar to ones I’ve done before-
and here is an idea I’ve been playing with with the robots- sweetheart robots?

I was thinking of your work today as I was working on designing some little tiny quilt hangings. I was trying to sort of think ahead but instead found myself creating a dark, wintry scene (which is exactly where my world is right now!). How do you plan ahead ie, get your mind in “spring” mode?

I think robots are very romantic - great idea!

I just discovered your blog and I love the dolls you make. I was wondering if you could email me and tell me what brand sewing machine you use. I want to buy a new one and I am inspired by your work. I’m hoping a new machine will make my work look half as wonderful as yours. Thanks for your help

I’ve been enjoying your work. I really like these Sweetheart Robots! It’s a great juxtaposition of the themes. Best wishes to you this year.
