Everybody knits!

Some of us knit for real, some of us pick up the needles and use it as a prop! Way to go Kiss!

This image gives me a new idea for my knitting inspired cards.
"Dreaming of turquoise socks!"

Any other ideas?

My friend Lorena's ideas (I know she will come up with more):

"Just what every woman wants, a guy who knits."
"It is not just your grandma's knitting anymore!"

Share your heart!


We created this beautiful heart out of our little socks. Just too cute.

SPRING, SPRING, SPRING!


I guess I am going to be writing about spring coming till the grasshoppers come home:)) I took this picture early in the morning, I was hoping the geese will stay but they decided to check out other ponds in the neighborhood.
Yes, we have a tons of grasshoppers in summer time, they usually invade our garden at the end of July and pretty much eat everything. Now we have a bunch of very cute chickens who are already diligently working in the garden and hopefully eating the tiny larvas of the grasshoppers.

Felted Teapot Cozy


We love our tea. We go through at least two pots a day. Nice herb tea from hand crafted herbs I picked last year. What a great idea: knitted/felted tea cozy and save energy! The idea is to encourage drinkers to make tea in a pot instead of a mug or cup. This will reduce the number of times we boil our kettles, thus reducing the amount of household energy we use.

And do I need to tell you how much I love this cozy with the nice big heart?

Sock mania is in full swing again. My sister and I are knitting away teeny tiny socks for our friends. Yoga and sock knitting, what a way to enjoy our time while we waiting for the sun to come out in full swing, the last of the snow to melt, mud dry out and start planting the next Victory Garden!

A couple of days ago we saw the first red wing black bird, happily chirping on the dry cattail surrounding the pond. Even a pair of canada geese has landing although briefly but with a lot of wonderful noise.

New Society Socks Logo

I have been playing with the Society Socks logo and made a few tweaks. I think it looks nicer now. Check it out in the right hand column. And I also added new knitting inspired greeting cards on my Etsy shop.
Have a great productive Monday!

It's beginning to look like SPRING!

I have been busy working on my clients' websites, producing, directing and editing another documentary, and knitting tiny little socks. Just having a great productive time. What a fabulous winter we've had. Hardly any snow, and now the grass is starting to show up!
Please visit my new Etsy store which I have just opened after over a year of neglect. You will find nice note cards made out of my collages, my very popular knitting inspired note cards, very natural lichen and moss freshly picked in the beautiful Rockies, our backyard!
Cheers!
