Behind the Scenes

I don't just make art, although one would think this having read my blog in recent times.  Today is Wednesday and in my world that means it's 'Knit and natter' morning with my Mum and my sister.  We tend to crochet and natter but this year I am determined to branch out and improve my very rudimentary knitting skills.  My motivation is a book on Estonian lace (knitted) that has sat on my shelf waiting for me to miraculously become a marvelous knitter.  So, in 2013 I will make a start. 

Behind the scenes of painting and drawing life, I have made (or mostly completed) these.....

 

Two scarves in Queen Anne's lace pattern and made with Jo Sharp Cotton.  These are the two outermost scarves in blue and the right is a deep aubergine. Two plain but deliciously soft and warm straight scarves both in wool.  I simply need to tie in the ends for them to be finished.

 Two wild and wonderful corkscrew scarves.

 

 A snowflake garland with bright button centres.  Once again poor light = poor photos.  Sigh.

 A riot of colourful bunting, crochet flowers, stars and wreaths ready to be adorned with bits and bobs.  Just some assembling and finishing off and all will be done here.

 

A bit of colourful frivolity that I had to do as soon as I saw it on Lucy's blog Attic 24 .  I still need to sew this together, add beads and other finery before this beauty shall be hung on my wall.  I'm thinking perhaps in the studio.
