Big Bossy Pig
As you know, I’ve been having a great time with all the critters I’ve been making. Â While I frequently know what I want to make and seek out the appropriate materials, sometimes the materials talk to me instead. Â In fact, they can get rather bossy, really. Â That is exactly what happened in the case of the Big Pig.
I suppose I should be polite and tactfully refer to this guy as the Aran Cabled Pig, but he is big, so I’m gonna go with it. Â He is a large, cuddly, wonderful guy that shows off some neat knitterly stitching beautifully. Â When I found the sweater that I made Big Pig out of I knew it was meant for greatness, just based on the scale of the cables. Â This one was going to be larger than my usual Sweet Critter’s life. Â I went Super Size.
At the end of the day I always love breathing new life into discarded garments, architectural salvage, the Free listings on Craiglsist, but it is always more rewarding when you end up with a blushing jovial friend in the end to show for it.

Creating in the Eye of the Storm
We are hunkered down here with Hurricane Sandy bearing down on us. Â But really, it is a rather normal day. Â A meeting was canceled and water bottles were filled, but other than that, things continue much as they always do in the studio. Â Pillows were made, patterns cut out, a bunting is on the knitting needles, and starfish are being hand sewn. Â The work is meditative. Â It is a quiet but busy day. Â Just the way I like it.
Hooking up Some Sun
Well, it has been pouring here for days. Â And days. Â The sun is something we talk about fondly. Â Reminiscing. Â A long lost friend. Â Fortunately for me, I’ve had this great commission to fight the gray and damp. Â The sunflower is completely hooked. Â I’ve even whipped the the edges when no one was looking. Â I just need to back and stuff this pillow in the making, and send it to off to its new home.
