Zoomorphic Knitting

I realized that the sweater and the hooded scarf/cape
I made recently have very aquatic characteristics to them.
Here's the scarf/cape arranged into an octopus shape.
I guess it would be a decopus with the 10 arms.
That's a erroneous word....decopus...

Memory Tapes

This is my favorite song at the moment.
From the new album Seek Magic by Memory Tapes

Tree Sweater

The sweater I've been working on is finally DONE.
...well, almost.
I'm going to probably add a collar, then it will be finished.
I made up my own pattern as I went.
I based the cabling on the combination of tree bark
and the muscles on the body. Primarily on the arms and back.

*note*
:When making up your own knitting pattern,
be sure to write down what you're doing, or make
both sleeves at the same time. it will save you
a lot of time and grief:

Laura's Hooded Scarf

This is a knitted piece I just finished for my sister.
She wanted a scarf with a hood, and this is what my mind
came up with. These pictures don't quite show it off that well,
but it snowed last night and I couldn't help but go out and
snap some photos in the snow. I'll post some more soon,
hopefully with a girl modeling it. No offense Rusty!

The hood is an alpaca/acrylic blend. SUPER soft.
The body of it is wool/mohair blend by Brown Sheep Co.
The brown yarn is a great kettle dyed merino by Malabrigo.

Good Morning

Filmed in 1959 by renowned Japanese film maker Yasujiro Ozu,
Good Morning takes you to a neighborhood in Japan
where two children take a vow of silence until their mother
and father buy them a TV so they can watch sumo wrestling.

The plot is full of gossiping women, romance, and pudgy
Japanese boys making fart jokes. Between that and the
awesome sets, costumes, and color... what else do you need?

These amazing photographs are installed on site then
photographed by Barry Underwood; creating a combination
of theatrical lighting and nature photography. I love how
the addition of the unnatural lights create a sort of
diorama effect to the surrounding spaces.
