Hello Friends,

(lots of creativity artwork photos at the bottom of the blog)

Ironically the littlest has been posted here, yet this is the blog topic that i work the most on. 

must say, i get carried away with knitting projects of all sorts- but all creative patterns which i invent. to my uttermost surprise a knitting store wanted to buy some of the patterns i created. hmmm… i have things scribbled in this notebook, and it’s in some lingo that i invented. but the drawings seem to be self-explanatory. i’ll see what to do.

lately i had not painted as much as i had anticipated for the summer. early mornings the desert mountain temperatures are fantastic 54 F (about 14-16 C) and i do get up early, the only thing is i take a while to wake up and would rather enjoy watching sunrise while having breakfast. when fully awake, seems like temperatures take quite a spike.

so the knitting resumes indoors and i must close the windows and door as the cross-breeze gets warmer.

since, i have knitted about 15 items ranging from multicolored sleeve-less sweaters, mary-jane baby booties, scarves, mittens, pot-holders, snow hats, and a large wave pattern shawl of exquisite shades of hand-dyed purples,green and blue hues (by Cat Mountain – a lady who dyes yarn so beautifully)!

Around October as the temperatures drop more and i get more knitting projects and paintings completed i plan to take pix of the completed artwork on this huge awesome stone by the pojoaque museum (the indian reservation where i live) on a day they are closed. the lighting will be ideal with the stone background.

as far as the knitting goes, i tend to work on 3-4 projects at once.

i’ve picked up the paintbrushes and painted 2 canvases for some friends and am still learning to remind myself to take a snapshot of them before i give them away. 

going to post the only snapshot i have of a freshly painted oil paint of the outdoors. the photo has a slight blur due to movement and upon drying i was so eager to get it out on time for this person’s birthday, that ooops i failed to get an improved quality photo.

so, please be patient with me as this is a lot of work and also a learning process of systematically storing valuable information and pixs. later on, if anyone likes some of my invented patterns, i will post them for free here as a bonus for your patience with me.

i hope to paint more too. found me a new friend who likes to paint as well, and we probably will plan to paint together which will be fun.

i’ll post a couple of pixs i have already of knits + paintings

Enjoy!

Sam

if you have any questions about certain patterns (bc a few were given to me for free, and others i did a “variation on a common theme”, and some altogether my own creation, please feel free to ask and i can point you in the right direction).

Peace,

ssb
