I love welcoming people to my home so I love displaying designs like this. You can stitch all four designs and switch them out of your frame for each season. The Stitch Count for each design is 99 Wide X 42 High. Each design was stitched on 28 Count "Desert Sand" linen, using a variety of fibers. I have given you an Alternate Color Code if you do not wish to use the over-dyed fibers. Substitutions will have to be made for some of the embellishments. You will receive the design graph, color picture, and all instructions.

100% American Merino wool, worsted-spun in a versatile fingering weight, lends the A-line Dominy sweater its lovely drape. Knit in Peerie yarn, Dominy is soft enough to pair with your favorite jeans, but polished enough to dress up. With knit-purl texture motifs along the hem, cuffs, and collar, and a cropped-length variation, this pullover offers plenty of options that are both modern and timeless. The cropped and classic versions are each worked from the bottom up. Short rows shape the curved hems, which are worked flat and joined together and knit in the round to the armholes. Sleeves are worked circularly from the cuff upwards, then joined to the body for the decorative raglan shaping at the shoulders. Designer: Gudrun Johnston Collection: Fall 2019

I have been thinking a lot these last couple days about why we need fine craft. Indeed we discussed this very issue at a Table Topics I went to before the Baltimore Show opened up. A good question. One feeling is that we need to have that connection with the maker in today's world. How true that is when we can just go down to the local mall and buy whatever we want made in China or maybe Singapore--does that even matter. But I think there is an even more important reason we need fine craft and that is that we need something to aspire to. By being well made it reminds us of what we as a people are capable of making. We need to marvel at the creative process and the creator and feel humbled by them. I think I will have more to say on this--it is early Saturday morning after an eleven hour day at the show and another eight hour day today. This has been my home away from home for a number of days now--Booth 1122. Yes, I do have neighbors now. So for now let me just share some images of work that I admire and hope that you will enjoy it. First here is the work of Gabrielle Kanter. These are floor cloths made by cutting the canvas and then stitching it back together in wonderful designs. This is the first time I have seen her work--indeed it is the first time she has done this show--but I was struck by the simple beauty of her rugs and the lush wonderful colors. For more info her web site is http://www.fullcirclefloorcloths.com. Aren't they wonderful? Next I stop and visit my friend Nell Devitt from Indiana. I have known Nell and her husband Will for a long long time. She makes absolutely wonderful wall pieces of fired clay. So simple and yet so complex in their design. And yes if you look closely you can see that she even does add a bit of color to her work--I always kid her about that. Most of the pieces are large but a few are small studies that can be grouped in sets. For more info: http://www.nelldevitt.com How essential and honest I feel her work is. These are a couple of her smaller pieces only a few inches in height. The color is more pronounced in them if you look closely. Finally I stopped by the booth of Erin Wilson--a wonderful quilt maker whose work I have admired for several years. It turns out she also grew up in Indiana where as a child she went to craft shows with her parents. I guess sometimes it just gets in the blood. She makes her blocks herself as inspiration strikes her. Look at the detail on the pieces. For more info check out http://www.erinwilsonquilts.com These are small works--about the size of Nell's small blocks. Aren't they fun? Great detail. Sometimes she pieces them together into larger quilts. Just look at the wonderful quilting on this piece. And then sometimes she joins them using the colors of the blocks she has created to form the patterns of the quilts. Amazing work isn't it? So what do you think? Work to be inspired by? Work to admire? I think I will have more to say but now off to my own booth.

Hello my dear crochet fiends, oops I mean friends. I'm back to share with you a project that I finished up just yesterday. It's another reversible cushion cover using an adaptation of both the Sunburst Pattern by Priscilla Hewitt and Jan Eaton's Square Target. On my last post I showed you the pile of little target squares I'd crocheted up. I decided to frame each 3 round motif in white dc's (UK double crochet stitches), just to give them a nice neat finish, and to help those colours pop a bit more. I then used a htr (UK Half Treble Stitch) seam to join each square together. When using this method I tend to connect single blocks into rows first, then once I have the right configuration seam each row together (if that makes sense?) The Half Treble seam gives a nice raised join, which adds dimension. I then moved on to prepping the other side to match for size. I had to add a couple of rows of htr's around my Sunburst Squares to make everything even. Both sides ending up 18" x 12". I was now firmly onto the home straight and loving every minute of assembling this colourful hooky creation. Putting wrong sides together I crocheted the 2 panels using a htr seam once again. Happily it gave me a lovely piped look to the edge. Ta-Dah Moment!!!!! Happy x

Doctor Who fair isle chart with some extra charts. Based on t-shirt Who’s Sweater by Mandrie and Doctor Who Faux Fair Isle Chart pattern by petiteviolon If you decide to use any of these charts in an actual pattern you want to post, all I ask if for you to credit where you got the charts from (like how I credited above where I got the inspiration from). Also for you not to make any profit off the pattern you posted. If you want to use the charts on knitted items that you sell, you can. Any questions or suggestions, please PM me.
Once in a while there's a project that's just special, and this one is definitely one of those. When I sat down to chart this one out, all of the math worked out just so easily (that never happens). And when I sat down to try it out with a lovely yarn that wasn't quite right, Wendee (Hazel Knits) sent me the one I knew would work right away. From the moment I had that yarn in my hands, I was a knitting fiend, and finished this beauty in about two and a half days (and there was plenty of horse-time in between knitting). And when I blocked it, it was just such a beauty.This shawl was inspired by the last line in Charles Darwin's most famous work, "On the Origin of Species", which is "...from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved." The stitch patterns radiating outward are larger versions of the previous "layer" and culminate in a beautiful, intricate lacy edging. The shawl is written for one skein of sock yarn, but
beyond being a store name in St Kilda [the Shifu Dumpling Express] it seems to me that shifu isn't much known of in Australia as the Kawashima Textile School [Japan] describes it Shifu is a woven cloth produced from paper yarn spun from Washi it's a craft that has its roots in the 7th century i first ran my fingers over a piece of this wonderful cloth when Hiroko Karuno kindly visited with me in Toronto a few summers ago and then again when i visited with Velma Bolyard in upstate New York last year - she even let me beat an indigo leaf into one of her precious pieces Velma makes paper cloth beginning with the harvesting of plants processing them to paper pulp makes the paper then spins thread and weaves the cloth. it's exquisite. so i was very excited when i read that Velma plans to visit Australia in June this year. it's a splendid opportunity for down-underers to learn about this craft [otherwise we'd have to travel to Japan, which is of course lovely if you can speak Japanese, but not within the reach of most!] she's giving a class at the Natural Dye Symposium being hosted by Beautiful Silks if you're quick you might get a place. i've signed on for a couple of classes [Velma's shifu and also Trace Willans class] it's a great initiative gathering together a bunch of natural dye enthusiasts in a city like Melbourne [when you're there, make sure to visit the forest inside the museum] but enough idle chatter. images below were kindly supplied to me by Velma and a little off topic but found while trawling the net and putting together this page a marvellous exhibition concept entitled "why bother" worth a look.
