 Nest for Katie's Sister

Don't forget to join me this Saturday, April 3rd, At the Clifford Gallery, Waterfall Arts, Belfast, Maine 10 am - Noon.  I'll be sharing my methods of basic 3-D knitting and talking about how I moved from painting to knitting over the last four years.  I'd love to listen to YOUR stories too!  Bring whatever you're working on or come empty handed - we'll get you started.  There will be camaraderie and interesting yarn - bring your own sticks!

Taking Wing - Hand Knitting & Nests

The first "nest" for the Taking Wing Exhibit at Waterfall Arts in Belfast, Maine is knittted from viscose + cotton yarn. It measures about 6" long, not including the strands, which will remain. I like the "dangly" look!










Here's another, using a variegated cotton yarn. Same approximate dimensions.

Most of this yarn was donated to the project by my good friend, Toni, knitter & spinner extraordinaire. Thanks, Toni!!!

The current plan is that the nests will vary wildly in color, a little less wildly in shape and only a little in size. My partner, Katie, will provide a beautiful painted & drawn backdrop in front of which the nests will hang.
Hoping for at least 20 nests!


More to follow after my first working meeting with Katie tomorrow!
