Blue Jay and Broke Hat

-
Happy March!
It is so nice the days are getting longer.  I am starting to dream about Gardening!!
This Month I have been working on my rug hooking and am now almost done!!
 
Blue Jay Wing & Tail





 I just have to do the rest of the sky and then mount it.

I have also designed a hat for the Beginner Class I am teaching.  It is available on Ravelry for free.
It is called Broke Hat because it is knit in a Broken Rib Pattern.
I knit it with yarn I had picked up in Petosky, Michigan a couple of years ago. I did a scarf in the same pattern (I will be publishing that pattern for free too!). Since I only had one 113gr skein of each colour I decided to make a little stripe design in mine while I was changing colours.


Keep an eye on Ravelry for the scarf and please download the FREE hat pattern.

If you live in the Port Hope/Cobourg area and would like lessons please e-mail me at martianknitstudio@gmail.com for information.

Enjoy March! More news in April!

  July is chugging along. The latest heat wave is over. We can open windows and turn off the AC for a bit.  I can work in my sun room again too. The only drawback is that there is another Crow fledgling about assaulting my ears! Above you can see photos of a purse I just finished.  It was a kit that I got many years ago but never got around to doing for reasons. Reason number 1: I wasn't fond of the little square pattern. Reason number 2: My Dad's 2nd wife gave it to me. It wasn't until after his passing and my walking away from her abuse that I was able to face it. Emotional states control creativity. Well at least for me. I changed up the hooking pattern starting with the back and the front flap. I got bored so I started a stripe on the front. Got bored again and finished with the circle design on the front. The leather strap and clasp came with the kit and it is lined with fabric I had in my stash. The original design is from the FishEy...

Three Sisters and a Fledgling

Santa looking out at a tree I like to work next to a window when hooking or knitting. I love being able to look up and see the trees that surround my house and see the birds flitting in and out of the branches. It makes me relax and enjoy the process of making.  The tree that is right outside the window that Santa is looking out of is one of the really tall evergreens right beside the house. It is home to many birds and their nests. This last week there has been a fledgling crow hopping around the branches. Which I love.   Except for its very annoying atonal call. An adult crow, who answers the fledgling never ending atonal squawk , is musical in comparison. This thing always wants food. I cannot wait for it to grow up! Jim was able to get the photo of the fledgling above.  I wandered around under the tree to try and see it but was only able to get this questionable photo.   Some gardening I am t...
