Bye Snowballs

See more at UrArtist Shop.

Winter is not over yet. In fact, we're still at freezing temperature here in Chicago. That means, we still get to wear our favorite winter outfits and accessories.

Yesterday, it was time to bid farewell to 'Snowballs'. Nope, it's not our pet or a peeve. It's the knitted scarf I made that's truly one of a kind. I made it with freestyle knit stitches, no pattern in hand or plan. It was one of those 'knit a stitch as you go along'. An abstract fiber art is what I call it.

It was one of my favorite knit creations. I love that there's nothing one like it and that it's purely a product of the imagination.

So, bye 'Snowballs'. May you give warmth and comfort to your new home and owner.

Tangled up in the Studio

'Grey Skies are Turning Blue' Art Cowl

It's really getting cold here in Chicago. We already switched our summer clothes in our closets with fall and winter outfits. Ofcourse, these breezy weather calls for accessories to keep us warm.

At this time of the year, my studio morphs into a fibrous stead. Skeins and spools of yarns, threads and laces take over the canvases and paints. What once used to be a jar of brushes is now stuffed with knitting and crochet needles. 'It's that time of the year.', my husband would say. My sketchbook is getting filled with designs of scarves and other yarn projects.

So, pardon me if you haven't seen me writing much these days. It's because I've given in to that irrepressible calling to turn those yarns into something extraordinary, while wrapped up in my favorite cozy and sipping my favorite peach white tea.
