making explorations

“I’m making explorations. I don’t know where they’re going to take me.” — Marshall McLuhan

I’ve recently embarked on a new creative exploration, and in the spirit of Show Your Work, I’ve decided to reboot this space. I’d say I am taking a break from fabric and yarn, but I’m making good progress on my Noro striped scarf and have a blanket border going, also.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know I’ve been running my way through the pandemic. When the days started getting shorter and colder, I knew I would need something to keep me going through the winter. Around that same time, I received an email invitation to CAMP — an online community for exploring creative play. 

I found Joanne on Instagram a few years ago and commissioned one of her house portraits for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. I could just tell from her creative portfolio that this was something I wanted to join. 

The above watercolor is from a CAMP class hosted by Nve Art Studio. I added the quote afterward. I’m not sure where these new explorations will take me, but I’m excited to start showing my work again.

I started this on the way to Michigan last week. It’s the Noro striped scarf inspired by Brooklyn Tweed but with Kureyon instead of Silk Garden. I’ve had to fudge the colors a bit to make it work. This has been something I’ve wanted to knit for years and I love how it is turning out.
