KNITTERS GALLERY

I've always felt so blessed and humbled when other knitters have chosen one of my designs to knit. So much so, in fact, that I have decided to display their work on my blog. LOL, I should have thought of this when I 1st started to blog, my apologies, sometimes the obvious things in life take me a while!

Nan from Nan Knits was nice enough to share a picture of her Flower Power washcloth with me. She gifted it to her daughter (what a great mom!), her daughter is using her's as a doily, wonderful idea! Thanks, Nan!

Beth knit this washcloth while she was grounded (for 8 hours!!!) in O'Hare airport due to the weather. LOL, as she states in her blog, she had everything but a darning needle at the ready for just such a knitting emergency! LOL, I'm sorry to say that Beth missed the blog contest....had she made it on time, this is her entry: "As usual, I’m a day late and a dollar short, but in any case, here’s the washcloth being used as a holding pen for confiscated items." LOL, TOO FUNNY! Beth, thanks so much for allowing me to post your photos in the Knitters Gallery And for your contest photo....I love to laugh....any and all of the time!!

Julie, for sharing your pics with us...I'm looking forward to seeing the others that you are working on, too! Thanks, again!


1-31-07 A knitter that I met, Nikki, was gracious enough to send me some photos of her BORN TO IPOD cloth! And it looks wonderful , too! One of my favorite things about designing and this gallery is that I get the opportunity to meet so many new, wonderful people! Not only did I get a photo from Nikki, but one from her husband, this is his very 1st project, don't you think he did a great job?! Not only that, he has a wonderful idea that some of you musicians might want to try (I'm certainly going to do this for my hubby), he made his cloth out of wool to be used as a guitar cloth. Being the wife of a guitar player I know that they baby their guitars, so this is a high honor for this alien cloth! I would like to say to both of you!


2-17-07 How gorgeous is this?! I'm LOVIN' it! Isabelle (aka Tricotine) from the very cool Tricotine As soon as I finish this row... blog emailed the lovely photo of her Flower Power washcloth today. I must say, there aren't too many things that make me happier than seeing another knitter's pic of a WKDesign in my email.....you made my day, my friend ! Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful with the us!
Okay, get this, Isabelle sparked a design idea in her email (so you can thank her if I pull it off)! She told me that she had heard that I had also designed a bath mat in the "Flower Power" theme. Well, sorry to say I've not, but happy to say that I am more than willing to give it a go! So, knitstas, be on the lookout....you never know if/when one might arrive...thanks to Isabelle!!


3-11-07 My friend Shannon is back (see her previous piece in the Gallery...her pair of Lonnie's Sport Socks...I LOVE that color, too!) with her simply STUNNING A Touch of Whimsy Hat, my goodness, look at the detail, the color...it is GORGEOUS!! This hat is for Shannon's sister and I think she's gonna LOVE it! Shannon is a giver, that's for sure, she knit the socks for her boyfriend and the hat for her sister, don't you know they just love her to pieces! Shannon, so very much for choosing to knit another WK Design, I am so honored! Thanks, too, sharing your photos with us!!!

4-09-07 I've met another friend, Shari at Get Stitchy, this new forum I've found that is home to needle artists of all kinds, it's a really cool place. I joined just a few days ago and already I've met knitters who have shared their FO's with us from the cool kal, April Showers (scroll down a bit and you will see Shari's gorgeous Flower Power Washcloths, just look, she did 2 for her girls, one has a regular flower power center and the other has the swirly flower power center...I think that is so cool! The kal is to knit things for the bathroom....cool, isn't it). Shari isn't a blogger (yet, maybe we can talk her into it so we can see all of her FOs!) and we have already been chatting a bit via email, she is a very cool person and I am so happy that she shared her lovely photo with us, these are for you, just a small gesture to say THANKS!

Not only did she knit it, but sent it, along with 2 other gorgeous scarves to The Red Scarf Project! I am now even more honored, I'm pink! I must say many times over!!!


2-03-7 I was equally surprised to find that my friend Nikki who is known far and wide from Pink Dandelion had also knit A Touch of Whimsy Scarf and she didn't even tell me! (or...she did and it was when I was having horrible troubles with my hip/leg and I don't rememeber...my bad if I forgot Pink D ). Anyway, isn't it GORGEOUS?! I am loving that color! You, my friend are a doll, thanks so much for choosing one of my designs!!

Mary knit the hat with Less than 218 yards of Purewool Poison, now I've not yet heard of or used this yarn, but the name has me hooked and I must try it (fyi, I've been out of the midst of things for months, so I have a lot to catch up on!).

HAPPY KNITTY 2009, MY FRIENDS!!
I am very, very blessed because so many of my fellow knitters have chosen to knit my designs - I am overwhelmed by the response and more honored than I have the proper words to express. Thanks to all of you! Many knitters have FOs of WKDesigns on Ravelry, which is very cool and rewarding, but I still enjoy sharing the photos of fellow knitters who email pics of their FOs. With that said, let's show off some 2009 photos!

(click to enlarge)
Jan, 2009 Heather was nice enough to not only choose to knit one of my designs, but sent a photo of her gorgeous "A Touch of Whimsy Scarf" to share!!! It's LOVELY!! Thanks so much, Heather, I'm very honored :0)

June, 2009 Jessica knit these "A Lotta Whimsy Socks" cuff down rather than toe up as in the pattern - I SO LOVE THEM!

Thanks, too, for sharing your photo!

Ya'll are a super group of !!!
