Feel Free to Swipe This!!

Lately I have been feeling very experimental...I have knitted/crocheted some shapes..and then felted them to see what would happen....they all started out as freeform scarfs...but once felted..they became surprisingly sculptural..I have them hanging from the ceiling now...as soon as I get a camera I will post some picks..I think this idea is one worth exploring further...I received from Amazon..the book "It's my party and I will knit if I want to" by Sharon Aris...it's a cute read about the whole knitting explosion and the politics that it entails...lol...now I don't know about the rest of yall knitting/fiber obsessed folks....but I find the more I get into knitting the less healthy I feel,lol..I have decided that from now on...that I will only be allowed to knit..after I have engaged in some form of physical activity..albeit aerobic or weight lifting for 30 min...If I don't do the physical stuff then I can't pick up the needles....I mad serious yall,lol....this situation warrants drastic measures!!!lol
Today I walked 1 mile in the park with Yohji ..then I popped a "Firm" weight lifting tape into the vcr...now I'm free to knit...lol

TALK ABOUT MULTI-TASKING!!!.....While listening to Erykah Badu and watching Oprah interview Madonna .I whipped this up.. a scarf..with the intentions of felting and dyeing it...but after playing show and tell with the creative folks on my floor..the vote was to leave as is...I have to admit it is rather funky and very freeform...sort of a wicked stole...


was not totally pleased with the results of yohji's painted sweater below..so I overdyed it..with very artful results...now I'm pleased..lol

Feeling Experimental....I knitted up a dog sweater in white cotton......
and then I painted the finished garment....

ooooh the possibilities,lol...lately I have been into dyeing fibers...one of my recent faves a cotton yarn in "rasta" colorations...red,gold and green....Yohji's going to be sooo styling this winter...I'm suppose to be knitting dog sweaters to sell..but it's hard to let them go because Yohji looks sooo fly in them,lol...

Detour #2....I completed this boa today...pink and black..this will be displayed in my new fave yarn shop..Knit Happens...they dig all things "girly"..and this should fit right in...ok now I need to work on one of my many works in progress,lol...I have sooo many ideas.and not enough time to work on them...I need to find some Foundation that will pay me and all my living expenses...while I sit back and create,lol...I know there must be some wealthy folks in need of a tax break,lol...

Detour...I completed a hat today...I was inspired by a suit Donna Karan designed......Tweed with sequins on scattered on the surface..my take on that...a black tweed yarn..with a silver sequin yarn over top.....
....
Today I visited my new fave knit shop..KNit Happens...and was offered a part time job.....I'm thinking about working my off days(well not the whole day,lol)...they asked if I would be interested in teaching classes..I have no idea what I could teach,lol...I just do it...and I'm sure I'm not techically correct..but I guess teaching others would force me to be....

Too many choices of what to knit lately...I feel like I have been bouncing back and forth between projects..and we all know that when that happens...nothing gets completed..just a whole lot of knitting going on,lol...so now I'm trying to dedicate myself to finishing my freeform shawl .. out of yarn Stefanie of Glampyre handpainted for me...I LOVE this colorway..which has me all fired up to dye some yarn..which prompted me to order fiber and dye to play with,lol...
