This was knitted from the point at the bottom up.  The flowers and leaves were knitted in as the work progressed.  This is also made from an Uruguayan hand spun/hand dyed yarn.  The back ground color is Rhodesian Ridgeback Red, which matches my dogs.  This color came out of a joke email conversation, as in, I was looking for a color that wouldn't show the dog hair.  This is what came out.  It pretty closely matches the dogs.

This is a scarf I knit for my friend Paula Schoen.  It matches some of her paintings.

This is a baby blanket that I knitted for my friend Jennifer and her baby Evelyn.  The yellow yarn in the background is handspun and dyed with spanish moss.  The leaves, flowers and butterflies were knitted in as I knit the blanket.

This I did just for fun.  I wanted to riff on a picture of a horse that I found in a knitting book.  Each horse is in a different position.  It's knitted in Uruguayan hand spun/hand dyed yarns.

This was a commission piece, there was a request that I knit a scarf based on the leaves of the Seasons blanket.  This is what came out.  There is a brown knit alpaca branch that holds the leaves together.

This is a very personal piece.  I started knitting it when my first husband was dying of lung cancer.  It just came off my needles.  There are 2 things about this piece that are not sad.  1.  It made my friends laugh because the pattern for it was a squiggle of a river on graph paper, that was the only pattern.  2.  After completing the basket weave border, I haven't done basket weave since.  Rounding the corners was so traumatic, I now have an aversion to basket weave.  I hope I get over it.  I like the way the basket weave sits.

This is another riff on the leaves in the seasons blanket.  I was going for a forest floor feeling.  These leaves are held together by having the long tails of each leaf woven into the other leaves.  Additional structure is given to the piece by the crocheted twigs that sit on top of and between the leaves.  There is also a backing of 2 or 3 knit alpaca branches behind the leaves.  This piece has beautiful flow and drape.

This is a huge piece that was knitted in 4 panels.  The panels were then joined together by the bars with the leaves crawling upward, which gives a looking through a window at a view feeling.  The size of this piece is a classic demonstration of what happens when you don't swatch.  This piece is also made of Uruguayan handspun and hand dyed yarns and a lot of commercial yarns I had lying around.  I loved the intensity of the colors.  It was a joy to play with them.
