Work from Material Girls

'Crazy knitted' shawl using natural colours of cotton, silk, cotton/linen blend, mohair, alpaca and linen. I embroidered berries and branches inspired by a picture I took last winter of deadly night shade. I hand dyed the yarns for it.
I love her! She is a combo of knitting, hand and needle felting. I want to make a series of her some day.

Knitted Serenity

Firefly fans click here.

First completed project of 2008

Knit in the week between Christmas and New Years. The pattern/project is Subway Mitts from Winter 2007 Interweave Knitting Mag. These are my first pair of mitts I knitted so they are not perfect but I am happy with them and wore them to work today. Good thing too as it was mighty cold out today.
