Pointy Stuff




I am getting ready for the Open Studio in May and working on knit pieces. Here is an asymmetrical wrap sweater with a long, pointy hood over an asymmetrical skirt. The fabric is not grey, as it looks in this phone camera photo. It is black with a lime green stripe. I've got other pieces in the works, too.

Favorite Things

These are a few of my favorite things. I'll add one each couple of days.



8. The garlic peeler tube. I like it so much, about ten years ago I gave one to a friend as a gift. She adds garlic to just about every dish she makes, so I thought this would be a great gadget for her. When she opened it she laughed and asked, "really?" She thought it was ridiculous. Throughout the evening she would burst into laughter and hold up the garlic tube. Since then, at least twice a year she tells me how much she likes it, that she uses it almost every day and can't believe she made fun of me for giving it to her.

9. Klean Kanteen. Nice size selection. Nice color selection. Nice lid selection. Nice smooth lip. Nice and handy. I have three.



10. Hair Made dryer stand. Why? I need a third hand when drying my hair.
