Knitting a Men's Sweater for Dave

 So I finally found a pattern for Dave. I having been looking for months to find the perfect turtle neck sweater that he would love. It is my Christmas gift to him. I wanted to get started early as we all know things get pretty busy in life and I wanted to make sure I had enough time.I found the pattern on Ravery and had to make some adjustments. Getting the right gauge took a few tries but I know in the end it will be worth it. I would definelty say this pattern is small fitting as it turns out I am knitting the extra large size with larger  needles than they recommend and Dave is a medium size normally.

 These are my first attempts at the sweater which I ended up taking out and starting over as they turned out small. So it took three tries to get it right......

I am going to keep on knitting and see how it goes.

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

 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
