&Introductions

This is going to be a short post, with just some introductions to the kind of work that I do. The pictures could be better; hopefully I can get some help making better ones soon.

I do a lot of shawls. Shawls are my favorite thing to make, probably because I like to wear them so much.



This is my favorite shawl pattern, blocking, and it's a pity you can't see how yummy the yarn is!

My most recent finished piece is a pair of handwarmers.



They were quick and easy to make, inspired by the fact that I discovered rainbow sequinned yarn at Hobby Lobby. Rainbow. Sequinned. Yarn. Just take a moment to let that sink in.

The pattern is fun and so is the finished project: my hands stay surprisingly warm, and I have a flair for the dramatic, so I think I can carry the look off!



(Yes, I do have a thumb, promise, it's just hidden!)

I've also been doing an addictive hat pattern, made with a stretchy band and then tons of bobbles. I made the prototype out of babyweight yarn the colors of superman ice-cream:



(Here I am, modelling it.)

I swear, I've gotten more compliments, comments, and requests for making people hats like this than anything else I've made since my first five point shawl!

...that's all for now. Peace, love, and art:
