My cat needs to be in a Rembrandt style painting. 😄
A calico cat with a white throat and green eyes is laying on top of a stool with a wooden top. She is in a sunbeam which gives dramatic light and shadow. She is looking at the camera.

Handspun Blue-Faced Leicester from Storyteller Stitchery. I ended up with 1,080 yards of triple ply fingering weight.

I spin on Turkish drop spindles - this was my first time trying BFL and it was so much fun to spin!

Four skeins of fingering weight, triple ply, handspun yarn in creams, browns, and greens. The skeins are arranged side by side on a silver background.

I designed this triangle shawl as a gift for a person with low vision. Slate blue and cream give good contrast and visual interest. 10 different types of knit stitches ensure the shawl can be enjoyed texturally in addition to visually.

I decided I needed to get better at short rows after I found a tutorial for knitting leaves. Ended up making a wrap with leaves all along one side and I'm so pleased with how it turned out!
