This project was shared recently in our group on Ravelry. She started with 8 ounces of yummy BFL wool top hand dyed in Lacey Maple. She then spun it up into delicious singles…… And then knit this Saroyan lacy scarf/shawlette with a leaf motif. It’s always inspiring to me to see what people do with [...]

I never thought I would do it, but here I am knitting Entrelac. Here’s my progress, I’m about to turn the third corner of my dishcloth. How did this come about? As you may know from reading my blog, I’m a gadget girl and I’d rather figure out how to do stuff on my knitting [...]

One of my fun new-ish products is the Fillet of Sole sock blanks. I started them on a whim to win a contest at Yarny-Goodness, and have now adopted them into my regular line. I like painting them, there are things you can do with color that just isn’t possible any other way. Lately, I’ve been [...]

It’s that season again, so it seems like a good time to mention the original side of ThePaintedTiger….. custom knit striped rugby scarves. How is this done, you may ask? You simply choose two colors from my list of Red, Burgundy, Orange, Yellow, Gold, Green, Hunter, Blue, Navy, Grey, Brown, Cream, White, and Black (other [...]

It’s Monday, and time for show and tell! I finally caught a picture of that groundhog/woodchuck: She’s on the neighbor’s lawn here, and seems content over there. I filled in the hole, and so far so good. I finished my Forest Glade socks made with my Tiger Supersock yarn. I should have made the ribbing [...]

Or should I say woodchucks and squirrels? It’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here, so I’m going to give you a nice pictoral of the action in lieu of a yarn update this week. First, we had this: I built these steps this spring, and have shown them to you before. This day, [...]

Last weekend, we attended the Quad Cities Symphony’s Pops Concert. The program was mostly the music of John Williams (so, of course, utterly fabulous). This year the concert was held in the baseball stadium, since the floods earlier this season tore up LeClaire Park, where it usually is held. This concert is quite the event. [...]

Yup, that’s my big secret. Ok, quit scratching your head. My brother, Michael Phelps, is a computer programmer in Des Moines, Iowa. He can swim, but more in the ordinary, keep yourself from drowning, kind of way. The family name does add some interest for us to the Olympics though (not to mention people suddenly [...]

It is dismal outside. All day, rainy and cold. To add to my mood, I finished this project for a client today. That is one crabby monster hat! I hope he knows that April showers bring May flowers. (Ok, I need the reminder, too!!!) var addthis_pub = ‘ThePaintedTiger’; var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, [...]
