let's just say i'm bucking the curse

 

wrapping up the best handmade exchange ever!

i knit these gloves (using my own Rock Opera design) for my friend, Rob, in exchange for this watercolor portrait.

long, fingerless gloves for Rob Sciasci.

square 8

above - square 8, january 2010

below - squares 1-8

i have a long way to go. it's funny how the addition of a new square either makes it work as a whole or completely upsets the balance. i think i'll need about 40 more to get it right.

best handmade exchange ever!

a watercolor of me by artist, Robert Sciasci. i'm knitting him a little something in return. my gift will pale in comparison to his amazing work!

square 7

above - square 7 (january 2010), below - squares 1-7

you see? they do look much better a as group! i'm trying to combine colors that i would never, ever use together. i'm afraid that if i don't, the end result will be terribly boring.

jolie laide for xmas

i knit this Jolie Laide scarf for a friend, for xmas. happy xmas! i hope someone knit something lovely for you!

6 in one hand

above - square five (2008), below - square six (2009)

these two squares are my favorites. square 5 with the ight and dark sides looks really stunning from a distance. i want to try to knit more of those.

and this is where it gets ugly

above - square three (1998/1999), below - square four (2003)

i once overheard someone working in a knitting shop say, "it has to be about 15% ugly." this is my 15%. stay tuned for my favorites, squares five and six.
