Babette Blanket - Interweave

Babette Blanket - Interweave
This is a fab pattern. Some day I may attempt it or make up my own combo platter. Kind of reminds me one of my favorite artists: Gustav Klimt.
He and many other artists of that period in Vienna can be seen at the Neue Gallerie in NYC.

Granny Squares on the Brain

Never thought I'd say this but I am dying to start 2 granny square projects.  The first is a beautiful circle in square granny that I saw on the  Rosy Little Things blog by Alicia Paulson. Until last week I had no idea who she was but came across while googling crochet projects.  I LOVE her blog and it inspired me to start this blog.  At any rate I cannot wait for her to publish the how-to of those squares.

Another granny project is a baby blanket I found on the ohdeedoh website (part of www. apartment therapy.com)  It's the modern take on the baby blanket. I LOVE the colors. And who says it has to be for a baby.

Actually there is a 3rd project involving granny squares using Koigu wool yarn.  I have to make that up b/c I have the yarn. I  saw a sample of it at www.knittycity.com on the Upper West side in NYC. The yarn is so beautifully dyed and the colors are so saturated and crisp.   I need to take some pics of what I've made with that yarn...

The internet is crazy

It's midnight and finally the kids are down the kitchen is somewhat clean and I am exploring the web. I have found so many cool websites. It's like I'm on sensory overload with all these great studio photos and creative websites. These are some beautiful photos I found on the web.... so serene and inspirational! I just found this website by Gennine. I LOVE it!! Now I better go to bed so that tomorrow I can work on some of my projects which I plan on posting here too.
