Really liking what's going on with the beadwork of this 1920's dress. It almost makes me think of Starry Night a little bit.

More stitching from some months ago.

Apologies if photos of older work aren't as interesting. I'm finding a lot of value in going back and revisiting - as I make decisions about colours, textures and patterns in my new work.

in Maine sheep are released on offshore Islands in spring to graze for summer. With no natural predators on these islands sheep thrive. To be corralled up and brought back to the mainland in early fall.

A baby blanket I made in blocks of Tunisian crochet and crochet sedge stitch.

Inspired by a pattern in my copy of Fleisher’s Knitting and Crocheting Manual from 1918.

The yarn I used ended up being more like a light fingering weight rather than sport, which made the whole thing go very slow. but I managed to finish eventually… well after the baby was born…
