Pictures of paintings

First of all, I need to state that I love making mistakes.  Rather, I love learning from mistakes.  Unfortunately, my mistake happened on the 16x20 portrait of Sherlock on art board.  Now the learning part: do not try new things on anything big.  Also: never accept a gift of a Christmas tree if you have a recently regenerated recovering Time Lord in the apartment. I'm watching Doctor Who on Amazon in the background, you see.

ON to the promised work: A bit much for all at once, but there you are. I'll limit myself to one or two works per post for the most part.  But here's some of my work!

Landscape, tentatively titled "Future Path", a Christmas gift to my father


I'm not sure how this works, if you want to look at it more closely I think you can blow it up.



Molly, E.& Sherlock, WIPs

Watson, WIP

Random Collie, from reference photo. Also WIP

An experimental WIP for a 3' long panorama seascape for my sister


Princess Fiona, sketched in and barely visable.  Oh well.

Luvie, gridded and barely sketched...but it's a start! Oh and the reference photo

Princess Fiona, 8x10 sketch from photo

Zeke, my overly gridded finished version and the sketch of try number 2

Heidi, Sherlock, and Watson, all complete and tiny

Ribbed-To-Fit Boot Socks

Edit: Thank you for your marvelous feedback! I am re-writing this pattern with that in mind, using Vintage worsted weight. The original socks are now full of holes in the heel. Very loved. Stay tuned, and I will add a link when that's finished! These socks came about from high-quality, inexpensive yarn local to Prince Edward Island, in Canada. This is just a quick draft, but an experienced knitter should be able to make sense of most of it...I hope. In point of fact, I'm not totally done with the first one yet. Here she is so far! Materials: 2 colors, 1 skein each worsted-heavy worsted weight yarn (I used MacAusland's 3 ply, but I think Cascade 220 would be a readily available equivalent) makes 4 socks or 2 pairs set of 5 double point needles, size 8 Gauge: about 4 sts = 1", but it's not vital to the pattern. Provisionally cast on 4 sts with yarn A, using yarn B as a stitch holder. K 6 rows St st, end after a knit row. PU 4 sts on needle 2. Slide cast...

Bad Blogger!

That's referring to me.  I've been kinda lax.  Ok, so really really absent minded when it comes to blogging.  I'd flagellate myself a bit more but that could get dull really fast. OREGON! The wedding was beautiful. My cousin could barely speak his vows, and they looked so incredibly happy. I'm so glad I could make it out there for many a reason. The day was glorious, the food was great, I connected with my aunts and uncles in a way that was more adult, life is very very good. I will post pics of the wine cozy when I find the camera, it turned out LOVELY! Also while there, Mums and I stopped by a fiber festival, and I gots a commission!!!!! No job at Blicks for now, but they're keeping my application at the top of the pile!! More later, I have friends coming over and my place is a bit too much like a yarn/art store for entertaining. Toodles! E

2 weeks??

I've been a horrible blogger.  No word for what...2, 3 weeks ish?  My poor readers must be wondering what they did wrong to be so neglected! I've been busy knitting like a demon! One market bag down, one almost finished, flowers, oh and a really big deal...Cousin's wedding gift is finished! I'll post pictures soon, he gets married on Saturday!!! Some of you may be wondering about the Blick's job I interviewed for.  Well, I interviewed a second time (!!!) and will know by Wednesday what's what.  I just hope I don't get a job offer provisional on me being there this weekend, since the wedding is this weekend and I really wanted to go.  If I do get an offer, then I guess I don't see my cousin for a few years since he's all the way out in Oregon.  I wish I would have said something in the interview, but I didn't think the timing would work out this way!! I delivered my first finished commission on Thursday! It's of Luvie.  I don't have ...
