First Cable Knit Project

My friend showed me in minutes the concept behind cable knitting and gave me a simple pattern to get me started. And happy with the hat.

Slocks

Slipper Socks.....felted knitted wool. First you knit over-sized sock-ish things.Then you put it through a hot laundry cycle and they become custom-fitted and felted slippers. These ones are my daughter, Maya's.

A Travelling Quilt Project...

....with friends...for a mutual friend. I started it by creating what you see below and sent it to the next person. It is a dancing woman in the form of a tree straddling dawn/daytime/dusk and spring/summer/fall.


The next person knit a bunch of leaves (lovely yarns, each leaf if different).
The third person to work on it, stitched embroidery thread and beads onto it.
And the last person bound, framed and stitched a lovely poem onto the border....a poem about dancing....very fitting for the person who received this and of the imagery used on this three-panel piece of art.
This is the five of us (four of us worked on it, the fifth received it).
Meant to be hung from a dowel....
