screenprinting last week wasn't a complete success. gettting used to the process again and the set-up at E.P. slowed things down a little and i only managed to get the first layer down. i'm back there for a long session on the 1st April and hoping to get Mr. Lion finished then. forgot to take my camera along unfortunately, but here's the first layer on newsprint...



knitting update: i am making a shawl. not going quite as smooth as the neck warmer but it will have 'character' and i am learning to fix things i suppose.i am content so long as i keep the right amount of stitches and by some fluke i've managed it so far...



got some old skate decks from my friend Steve in Route 1 a while ago to paint on and finally got some sanded down thanks to James and his electric sander...



watch this space!

the start of something beautiful...



inspired by Sandra Juto and her beautiful creations, i have got the knitting bug once again and i think this time it's here to stay :) I met with the wonderful Vala yesterday for knit fika at our favourite cafe and i made a good start on a neck warmer from one of Vala's own patterns. blue + stripes of course!

last night i stitched 5 rows on the wrong side = ugh. but determined to get it right i (very very) patiently unstitched every one. right now i'm about half done and am quite proud of myself!...



also quite proud of my virgin harvest...
