Flashback Friday: June 2011

In recognition of Valentine’s Day I decided that I would post a journal entry on a subject near and dear to my heart- my husband and my life-partner Chris. This journal entry is a drawing that I did of my husband after recently moving into our awesome apartment. After many weeks of unpacking boxes we…

Day Thirty Five, Creation Thirty Five

What an awesome Zendala challenge this was! The last two Zendala creations focused on two very different template styles. The first one had an organic style and the second one was very geometric in nature. Today’s creation incorporated both organic curves and geometric shapes for one awesome combination. To start this tile, I knew I…

A quick break from lace knitting…

For some reason, over the weekend I decided to take a little break from my knitted lace border I am applying to my green shawl to cruise around YouTube looking for some knitting techniques. I stumbled across a couple of videos on arm knitting. I have seen and heard about arm knitting before, but I…

Day Thirty Four, Creation Thirty Four

Well this is getting exciting! I am now on my second Zendala and by far the easiest one I have created to date. This creation features only one tangle called “Flukes”. You heard me right, this tile was created only using one tangle! Is that awesome or what? If you wander backwards to my last…

Finished another custom order

This is just a quick update folks. Just wanted to share that I completed my fifth custom order this past week. This time the order consisted of two more basic cowls in black. This is ironic twist of fate since I just completed a single custom order that was also a basic black cowl for…

Flashback Friday: April, 16 2007

I decided today to go way back to April 2007 when I when I frequently watched an anime program called “Eureka 7” that was featured on Cartoon Network at that time. I often find that when an anime program is so beautifully illustrated, I am at times inspired to sketch a character from a…

Day Thirty Three, Creation Thirty Three

What is the world coming to? Now she’s making creations with circles-oh my! This was one of the One Zentangle a Day challenge day I was looking forward to the most- creating my very first Zendala! What is a “Zendala” you ask? Well, a Zendala is inspired by the traditional Mandala graphic design which symbolizes…

Day Thirty Two, Creation Thirty Two

Oh what fun today’s creation was! Today’s challenge was to take a familiar shape and break some boundaries! I decided for this tile that I would use a cute little bird shape. Once that was decided, I filled in my bird with all sorts of tangles: “Tagh”, “Tat”, “Finery”, “Betweed”, “Nekton”, “Sedgling”, “Fesu”, “ “NZeppel”,…

Day Thirty One, Creation Thirty One

Faux Illuminated Letters was the theme for today`s challenge. The “faux” part of these illluminated tiles is that I didn`t use real gold just a gold pen… Anyway, I really loved using letters as outlines that I decided to make two tangles! The first tile created was on black paper using opaque Gellyroll pens from…

Magical appearing blog posts

Hello to any new readers of this blog! I want to avoid any confusion for any visitors of my site with posts that are suddenly magically appearing from a couple of years ago. I actually started a knitting blog in August of 2011 using another service. The service was geared toward building websites with some…

Flashback Friday: July 31, 2012

Okay folks, it’s cold snowy and just plain dreary out there! I thought I would perk myself up by posting a journal entry from over the summer of 2012. I remember I was pretty hell bent on keeping up with my husband as he trained for his first sprint triathlon. I was not in awesome…

Day Thirty, Creation Thirty

The day has finally arrived. Today I will be posting my very first tangle I ever created! Without further ado…I would like to introduce my new tangle called “Lazy Eights”! This fun new tangle was inspired by my One Zentangle a Day, Day Thirty challenge. For this day, I was asked to use my practice…
