small sample of my crazy quilt embroidery

About Me

I am a consumate crafter. I knit, quilt both sane and crazy, scrapbook, bead, mosaics and any other thing I can think of along the way. Someday I also hope to do real glass jewelery and stained glass but those have to wait until I have room and more time.

Shout it From the Rooftops!!

I am so happy!! Happy, Happy, Happy!! AudryII is finally a FO and I can move onto other things. It only took a few days over 6 months to knit her, but I would not recommend to anyone to work that hard on such a big project. Cause at this point I am not sure I will ever knit another mitered square as long as I live. The final count for AudryII is 784 squares and she is a sveldt 60 X 74 inches. She weighs appox 1568g which means she is the equivilent of almost 16 pairs of socks!! In 6 months!! And I knit 6 actual pairs of socks in this time too!! Oh my-I guess I have kept the sock yarn ecomomy going single handedly for the last half year..
So here are some more pics to enjoy along with the links to see a bigger version if you want to see the detail a bit more. I am still experimenting with the pictures here on blogger. It is a comfort to know that other bloggers have had trouble with using their pics, so I don't feel like quite such a loser!!

"Knit" & "Purl" Ambigram

I have long toyed with the idea of a tattoo. And boy this one just about tips the scales in favor. But in order for it to show well it would have to be a bit big. So now the question is-Where??

The beauty of this tattoo is that in one direction the words read "knit" but look in the opposite direction and those same words read "purl" How genius is that ya'll!!
