Another Yarn Bowl in the works

Another Yarn Bowl in the works 10/03/2008

I'm working on another yarn bowl - and I like this one - I used little letter stamps on it - on the sides (outside) it says knit knit knit knit ... and inside it says tink tink tink tink (knitting backwards) - simple and cute! It's being fired this week :) - I have made a few other pieces as well - they're all being fired this week -- I like how these handbuilt bowls are not "perfect" - I do look forward to getting to play on the wheel at some point though - I bet I can make some neat bowls on there as well! And for those of you who have asked - YES I do intend to sell yarn bowls - if you have requests, please let me know and I'll try to accomodate...

We worked on slab cylinders on Saturday - I made a few of them and I like the way they turned out as well - once they're all glazed, etc. I'll probably post them again :)

Painting class is moving forward - with 2 paintings in progress now. (nothing to see yet) - I hope to work more on that this weekend -- which leaves [you guessed it!] very little time for knitting!

Have a great weekend!!

Hmmm, it seems to me that I have a birthday coming up. I may need to get myself a yarn bowl...

I am about to ask an exquisitely dumb question.

"What is a yarnbowl used for?"

Kyle, I will be expecting an advance notice when the bowls are ready to be relocated to a new home. No reason why I should get preferential treatment, it's just because I asked.

Ted's question isn't nearly as dumb as mine from a year ago: "What's a Rhinebeck?"

I was looking through your quilts and noticed that you mentioned a Crazy Quilt that felt very heavy and you were unsure about the batting. My great grandmother made some quilts that I have that are also very heavy. She used carded wool for the batting. She kept sheep during the depression and sheared and carded her own wool. Then she used it as batting for the quilts as we are from the Appalachian Mountains in NC and it gets very cold. I thought your quilt might also have carded wool batting.
