Studio Madness & Learning to Knit

Greetings & Salutations!
Well it's been a crazy week as usual and I have managed to get one Shrug knitted for my little Art Doll. I have been wanting to learn this skill for many years, and have tried it numerous times over the years, but never managed to grasp the whole knit and purl and all the other things you have to do. Not to mention, how to hold those darn sticks in your hands while controlling the tension on the yarn. LOL
I must say, this is a wonderful art form to learn and I'm having a blast at it! Here are some pics of my little Art Doll with her new knitted Shrug on. I think it came out pretty good for a first try at this.

This little Art Doll still has a lot of work left to do...but once she is completed, she will be hanging out with me in my Studio. I so have to keep her! Especially with this little Shrug on...my goodness! LOL

Now if learning how to knit wasn't enough to keep me busy, I had to purchase this book on Crocheting. If you love Crocheting, this is a great book. Very basic, but it goes into some really advance stitches and patterns. The girls that wrote this book also wrote the other book that I got on Knitting called "Chicks with Sticks." Another fantastic book. Order them off of Amazon. They are so much cheaper than running to your local book store.

Had to get a Knitting Basket and stuff with all kinds of new yarns, needles, accessories, etc. It's ready to take with me where ever I go! The other thing is, make sure you get a knitting needle carrier too. I also took a sharpie and put the numbers of each knitting needle on the top. This way you don't have to fumble with your knitting gauge and try and figure out the metric system. LOL

So, do you think I should clean up this section of my Studio? I think so...with Spring right around the corner, it might be a good idea to have a major clear-out!

Okay, I have been waiting to get this DVD for some time now, and it finally came. If you are a Michael Jackson fan and even if you are not, this is a great DVD. After watching it, I threw in my Michael Jackson CDs and started dancing around in the Studio. I must warn you though, you will watch it over and over again...that's how good it is. I cried at the end...what an amazing artist he was.

On Joe Perry. Yes, I love this dude! LOL My husband brought this home for me. His friend tore this out of a magazine so I could have it for my Studio. I must say, he so curls my toes! LOL

Well, I'm off to have a meeting on Art and then heading into the Studio for the entire weekend. Yes, I'm starting early because I have numerous commission pieces to complete and get some art dolls finished.

Until Next Time...Have a great weekend, keep creating art and make sure you remember to giggle at yourself.

CHEERS!
