Warm Arms

Bought a denim vest from the 'Salvos' and have removed the sleeves so............
now I am knitting up two (well, it has to be two as I have two arms) sleeves to insert.
This is sleeve no 1.
Still a ways to go with it.
I have all the balls of yarns (stuff I have left over from other projects, odd balls that I've liked and bought, yarn I've dyed myself) in a big bag and I just dip and knit.
Lots of fun and I don't get bored.
I just have to remember what I did increasewise for the second sleeve!

Toys

2002 must have been a very productive year for me because I seemed to make lots of things. Probably because it was my last year in Fine Arts at Uni.

Toys......toys.......toys................cut up and reconstructed. Probably some deep angst or something like that. Very weird.......but great talking points.

Hundertwasser Rug

Made this one when I was just starting to do Freeform Crochet in 2001. It was great fun to do.........learned lots of stitches and patterns. Just 'scrumbles' all crocheted together and then sewn onto a backing.

It sits drapped over the back of a chair in my loungeroom. I really want to do some more work on it............take the backing off and and make it more stable with crochet.

Healing Rug

I made my rug throughout 2006 and 2007. I bought most of the yarn in the USA in 2005 and came home from my visit there to a major health crisis within my family.

I wasn't feeling terribly creative but wanted to have something in my hands to do........and so the rug. No pattern............so I didn't have to fiddle with books. Any size needles. And no order in the yarn or colour composition. Really I just simply threw it together.

I don't think the pic does it justice..............however the camera and I are still in bonding mode.

One thing I did love when I was making it ...............during our cooler months I could sit under and knit.

I really helped with the problems............and quite amazingly as the health problem was resolved the rug finished!

The Home Spun Bag

I made this one in 2006. All the yarns are home spun and were sent to me by from the USA and the UK in a Yarn Exchange.
I loved making it and enjoy using it as well.
It has a little silver sheep on the front that I bought in Connecticut, USA in 2005 when I was visiting.
