Stories in Watercolor and Ink. Ink and no Watercolor

I am very attracted to this knitted cowl. I offered to knit it for my daughter as I thought she'd
look stunning in it, but I never got a response to my query as to whether she'd like it or not.
So I painted it instead. S'okay, it looked like it might not be that easy to knit.

And sometimes I just need to draw something simple like my basket full of yarns waiting to be turned into something pretty or functional or fun.

If you have a knitting story or a painting or drawing story you'd like to tell I'd be happy to hear it.

  3. I love your basket of yarn. I should learn how to do some little things like caps and socks since I love what others do. Right now I am trying to get back to doing something, so right now it is cards. I love to make them. I am working on a quilted bag, slow but sure. I will share it when done. Have a wonderful day, Mary

  9. Yarn and I don't go together. I have, for the record, once crocheted a baby blanket for my first grandchild. And then I gave the rest of my yarn away. Funny thing I enjoyed it while I was doing it, but could never get myself to do it again...I guess I prefer brushes. It seems like work to me, not relaxing and fun!

  10. These are both fab, I tried drawing yarn once and was not happy with it. You have captured it very well.
