Sol Sol

This is not my July sweater, it is my month of Sol sweater. Sol is the 7th month on the International Fixed Calendar right between June and July. It corresponds to June 18 - July 15 on the Gregorian Calendar. The IFC has 13 months each with exactly 28 days (4 weeks), with some free holidays at the end of the year. It makes for a very efficient calendar, so much so that George Eastman instituted it as the official calendar for the Kodak company and it was in use until 1989!

This sweater is called Sol by Jacqueline Cieslak and is knit in Buttercup Cotton. The sleeveless tank is perfect for all these 100 degree days during Sol.

Capitol Reef AIR artwork images are finally up

I finally got this blog updated with my Capitol Reef artworks from my residency in 2019! Just in time to gear up for June 2023 when I am artist in residence for Glacier National Park! If you want to see some of the work I didn in Capitol Reef, click on the tab under the header above. You can also see any of my work from other projects I have done.

June Sweater: Delmarva

June Sweater! It is called Delmarva by Corrine Walcher and  is knit from a cotton/linen yarn called Lantern from Purl Soho. It’s a great summer top complete with sunburn I got on vacation in California.

May Sweater: Silva

 

This is my May Sweater. It wasn’t my favorite construction but I love the Shepherd’s Wool I knit it out of. It definitely screams May!

April Sprout Pullover

Yay, this is my April sweater called Sprout designed by Tif Neilan. It is an eye-watering chartreuse but the exact color of all the early leaf buds in my neighborhood right now. I think this marathon sweater knitting is helping my creative block as I am starting to sketch original ideas again for my own art. I hope I can still stick with all the sweaters *and* begin some of my own stuff.

March Seed Pod

My March Sweater is a big gauge so it took less time! This is Seed Pod by Tara-Lynn Morrison from Purl Soho. It’s very warm for the beginning of March but will be stored by the end of March waiting for next winter. It reminds me so much of all the dried seed pods leftover in March waiting for new growth.

February Daytripper Sweater

Just in the nick of time I sewed the buttons on my February Sweater. It is a warm and cozy icelandic wool sweater called Daytripper designed by Mary Jane Mucklestone. So far so good on my goal of a sweater a month. Hopefully I can keep my momentum.
