Sadly, for the past week or so, I’ve been doing everything but. I’ve done a few more repeats on the ZigZag scarf but nothing that bears a photo update: “Oh, look! It’s longer than last time.” Yawn.
Aside from the usual blah-blah (doctor) blah-blah, there’s been quite a bit of design thinking (and sketching, planning, coloring, procurement) going on. That Ravelry is both a font of information and a cattle prod when it comes to pursuing what I’ve come to see as possible. Heck, at least it’s forcing me to do proper drawings and come up with construction models for the designs. I love how the colored sketches look but can’t share them with you. It’s that old “first publishing rights” thing.
I did receive a special post-holiday treat that I can share with you. My friend Y stopped by for a visit and graciously let me take her photo as she modeled the hand knits I made for her.
Thanks, Y. Rarely do I get to see my gifts in action. You really made my day.
This looks like right out of a page in a knitting magazine! Fabulous designs here girlfriend and darling model! I love Ravelry! We both knew that already though.LOL
The gifts look beautiful on your friend. The color is perfect for her. They look very cozy.
I love your take on Foliage. That looks great!
I love your take on Foliage. That looks great!
can’t wait to see what you are working on, karen!
and, of course your knits look fabulous in action!
I can’t wait to see your designs. I am sure they will be as stellar as your knitting work, and your friend looks beautiful modeling her gifts. Also, the color you selected was perfect for her! Happy knitting/designing, and be well.
Gorgeous. I look forward to seeing more of your designs.

I can’t wait to see your designs! Your friend looks just adorable in the knits you gave her — I especially love the hat. Too cute!
Very pretty handknits and friend! They suit each other perfectly.
Looking forward to seeing your designs.
Your knits look lovely in action!
Quite pretty! Have a great weekend, Karen!
Beautiful! You really picked the right colors for her – even her lipstick matches 🙂
Gorgeous!

Oh, that is that slightly felted Foliage hat that you blogged about, it is loverly and the matching scarf makes such a nice ensemble. Thanks for sharing it.
Very pretty! It’s always more fun to see those knits on the recipient, isn’t it?
love the new masthead on your site!
Simply beautiful! Good luck with the design process — can’t wait to see what you’re cooking up.
I LOVE that hat!
Y looks gorgeous in your creations! And the new look your blog is wearing looks great too!
How pretty all three are.
