Sara's hat

The second time I've made this hat, and looking at it, I think I might have to make yet another one for me in different colors. Again.

The Yoga Mouse

There's an explanation for this one at flickr.

Jaylene's Smile Bird

I made this as a present, and every time I looked at it, it made me laugh. I thought maybe the person I was giving it to needed some directions, so I had to label it.

And this one is a teenier version of the same bird.

Big Bird Purse

This is an old one but I don't think I ever showed it! It's a GIGANTIC bird purse and I love it. I love, love, love the fabric of the body, and it's such a cute, fat bird!

Sara's Caterpillar

I don't understand the deal with combining a blog with flickr - do people just write the same explanation of a project in both places? Do I tell you everything about this caterpillar but then tell you again at flickr?
Anyway, there is more description and pictures of this at flickr - it opens into a butterfly! I invented the pattern and used my fleece scraps. It's for my yoga teacher's baby shower.

Our Lady of the Luau

You can read about this at flickr - it's for a doll challenge.

Moss Queen Shawl

My friend Megan sent me these amazing yarns for my birthday and told me they were to make a forest witch shawl. So here it is, just starting - I want it to be huge!

Dear Jane, Approximately

I am verrrrryyyyy slowly working on a "Dear Jane" quilt. This is a reproduction of an insanely complaex quilt that was made during the civil war. The woman who made it, Jane Stickley, used some traditional patterns, but many of the 200+ squares and triangles in it are patterns that she made up. I keep feeling like I'm flying along, but as of today I've done 35 squares. Mine is going to be red, purple, green and blue. My quilt's name is "Dear Jane, Approximately" after the Dylan song "Queen Jane, Approximately". If you google "dear jane", you'll see all the variations people do of this quilt - it's amazing.
You can see my progress here.

I'm trying to finish all the red squares now because there are fewer of them than the other colors and then I can put my red fabrics away.

Sorry! :)

Not my fault, but you saw all of my posts again because I had to switch to the new Blogger. But you know you wanted a review of my art, right?

I think I should do a few more cards for Pisces because I'm a Pisces with Pisces RISING even, and I'm *such* a pisces!

I think lost of SoulCollage cards look ugly to other people, so I suspect this might look quite hideous if you're not me. In fact, even I am not sure how I feel about it, but it was what came out, so I kept it.

the second fair isle project. Normally when I have to make two of something (socks, mittens...) i make them different so I don't get 100% bored.

Lots and lots of boxes from Amy Butler's sewing book. I made many more than this, too. Now I think I need some for myself.

A present for someone. I made it in the throes of misery and realized it was for someone else.

My new favorite hat! More pics at flickr. It is from a pattern here: http://www.magknits.com/Apr06/patterns/nezumi.htm

I'm making another one now for my yoga teacher and this time I have really learned to read cable charts and I'm flying through it.

I made up this pattern, perhaps that is why one thumb's edge rolls out and the other rolls in?! this yarn is hand-dyed mill ends from misshawklet.com.
