new mittins...

so i finished these new mitts quite awhile ago, but realized i hadn't shown them to you. i'm really loving this pair, they are super warm and i love that they are neutral and go with any of my coats. i picked up the super soft alpaca for them over a year ago when i was on a trip, and i'm so glad that this is what i decided to knit it into! i feel like spring might be coming (!!!) but i'm gonna wear these warm little guys until then!!

getting ready for fall...

so like i said i've been enjoying the cooler weather lately, though i heard its gonna get warm here again this week. so a few days ago i got my knitting needles and some balls of pretty yarn i've been saving out, and started a new pair of mittens for this fall. i'm really loving the way they are coming along, and they are so nice and soft!

knitted bugs...

so i realized that i hadn't really shown you ladies the installation i did of my knitted bugs at my grad show. the place we used for the show was being renovated, and i loved it. when we got there to set up i found this amazing hole in the wall. it was about a foot wide and ran up the whole wall, and it was the perfect place to put my bugs. i had about 30 of them to install, and had them crawling along the wall and into and up the crevice. we put a spot light at the top of the hole, but a lot of people didn't even see the bugs at first. it was great. they kinda walked by, and then all the sudden realized that there was a swarm of bugs on the wall. it was defiantly fun, and a really interesting way to install the piece, defiantly way different than the first way they were installed. and i'll probably do it all different next time!

moving on from the cold...

i know winter is almost over, and im very excited about that (!!) but i haven't shared my knitted Cowl Neck with you yet! so here it is. i made it back in november, before it was cold enough to even wear. its super warm, and i love it when its really cold out. and i love that its also good to go as a hood! very versatile. i love it.

me and my cowl.
