Cable Coffee Mug Cozy and Creative Friendship

Having started cable knit sticthced the past few weeks, I am now trying all sorts of projects to practise and become better at it. This project is fun and easy and is a Patons pattern. I knit this for a dear friend- Victoria -another crazy knitter. She made a cool cowl that she gave me and I thought I could give her some thing knitted. I hope she loves it! And it keeps her hands protected from burns.





 I think it turned out pretty well even if I made a few mistakes. I think it maybe even a fun project to put on etsy. I could do different colours, yarns and take requests too.

Here is a photo of Victoria and me with my new cowl she knitted. I love the colour and cable and yarn...so soft.

We had fun knitting the weekend she and her daughter Bronwyn came to visit us. It is fun being creative with friends. I treasure that time and inspiration we give each other.

Present Tense show at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery June to July 2025

Image
 I am so excited to be part of the Gibsons Public Art Gallery show for members. Every year there is so much amazing work displayed. This year, I displayed Frida the Third a sculpture for the first time. She was the third because the first one blew up in the kiln and the second one's earring holes were too small to fit earrings. Frida third was many hours of work and joy. I am happy to announce she was bought during the show to a happy couple. I am so pleased someone loves her as much as I do. Adios my friend! I also put 6 Tiny pieces and two of them sold so I am also very please to have the continues support of my art in its many forms and mediums.     https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMYmmRGRKaE/?igsh=bGR4NGkwYWprMjE3
