New work!

I am so excited with this new work. I've got so many ideas running through my head I can't seem to get them all down on paper. I love it when the creativity flows this easily. As every creative person knows that doesn't happen often enough. I'm just going to try to capture as many ideas as possible!
So here it is the big reveal of new work I'm busy creating for my upcoming show at the Lilac Festival in Rochester NY. I will be there at Booth 109 on May 12th - 13th and again on May 19th - 20th.

Knitting in the off time

I love working with glass but its not what I call a portable craft. In the evenings or just about any time I need to relax I pick up my knitting or crocheting. It so easy to take with you while waiting at the train station or a doctor's office.

This blanket I started a week ago for a sweet guy who is having his first baby. Its a boy but since he is due in the spring I wanted something bright and cheerful. I found this pattern at http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/home/free-knitting-patterns-for-baby-blankets2.htm

I actually did a test swatch for gauge this time and adjusted my pattern for it. I'm so bad about that with blankets but after last spring making the never ending blanket for my grandson I figured it was time to give in.

I love knitting for babies. I don't get bored before its finished.

Now I'm ready to start the booties that will go with it.
