The last few days have been a marathon of knitting to make up for previous slacking off. I am drowning in yarn (what a way to go). Lambwool, silk, alpaca, hand spun —all have passed through my fingers in the last few days. Here’s a peek and what’s kept me up all night watching the space channel.
Inspirational buttons, vintage, new, polymer clay from Joan Tayler.
Notice the fine Joan Taylor button…have I told you how much I love her buttons.?

Temple Hat in lambswool, silk and alpaca.
Since I production knit I am not ashamed to say I need to keep my designs simple, but each design must have it’s own “special” something. Something that says “hey that must be a MelonHead hat’. As a result, I rely a lot on colour and textures to make that statement, but my experiment lately has been very much an absence of colour which has ended up creating very interesting architecture in the designs.
I’m still playing catchup, still working on web orders, but the day was so beautiful that I had to photo the cats each enjoying their own patch of sun. Please enjoy self indulgent cat photos.
One cat still AWOL at the time of photos –camera shy, I guess.
GREAT buttons… sweet faces! Makes me miss my kitties!
Love the buttons, and the kitty cats, each unique! 🙂
