Gotta Make …

This was a really quick knit. Fun, too. I wouldn’t buy this yarn (Katia Florida) again, though. The yarn was brand new but one ball had strange brown stains and another had a huge knot about 2yds in that had to be cut out. I do plan to use this pattern again, though. I want to make a longer one, with elbow length sleeves, in a lighter weight yarn. You can find the pattern here or if you are a Ravelry member it is here. If you’re a knitter and you’re not a Ravelry member, then what are you waiting for? Ysolda designs such cute patterns. I hope to make her Coraline soon.

Yep, I realize that most of my photos on here are now missing. I had a bit of a gallery catastrophe and haven’t had a chance to do anything about it. I’ll get the gallery back up as soon as I can, but the old thumbnails and links will likely remain broken. *sigh* You’ll still be able to find any of the pics by going straight to the gallery and digging around, but not until I get it reinstalled. Sorry!

Finally got the next batch of Alphabet ATCs painted. E is for Elephant, F is for Frog, G is for Guitar, and H is for Hat are now in the gallery. This batch was done in goache except for the letters, which are acrylic.

Lisa’s got another Mother’s Day Countdown up this year, so go grab some pretty vintage images (free, linkware) and don’t forget to link to it so other’s can find her.

Please excuse any weirdness here while I fiddle with the blog templates.
