summer goodness
Painted, Bright flowers for a bright day.
And, a Super, fantastic gift to make a summer day brighter, and better! Habu yarn, a silk boucle, indigo, hand dyed by Michele!
Thank you. I’ve been knitting blankets in the heat and am pleased to have something small and silky to hold and create with.
I got started on a new scarf, something with enough stockinet to show off the crunchy, slippery texture and a little lace (worked on right and wrong side rows). It’s just enough action to keep the knitter awake.
This knitter is awake, well rested and very pleased.

Kat, I eagerly await your posts! I love the Habu-ish scarf! You will share the pattern won't you? Please! Your paintings are charming, as always. I'll bet Felix loves them. Does he have a favorite? What blankets are you working on? The granny square one? Talk!
This post brought such a smile to my face- I just LOVE your artwork! And the scarf is going to be so beautiful. :)
thank you!
Poethead: i will post about the blankets soon. it's not the babette. she is sleeping. i love her but crocheting not so much.
nonnahs: smiling is good. thank you!
Gorgeous colourful art Kat...the bottom one made me think of Max from "Where the Wild Things Are".
Those flowers are bright and beautiful! And I need to get going on something for some summer knitting. I have some habu silk, hmmmm.
I agree with Gudrun, the bottom painting does remind me of Where the Wild Things Are.
Glad you're rested. Sometimes a little rest is just what's needed to recharge the creative batteries ;) The new scarf is looking intriguing! Love that yarn.
kat i love really love the beautiful sunny colorful flowers. perfect inspiration for a gloomy gray rainey saturday afternoon.
It's wonderful that I can come here and see knitting and painting on the same blog! The lace scarf looks like it's going to be beautiful! I bet the Habu yarn feels wonderful in your hands. Thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful painting Kat. I love paintings that have bright colors. It is such a happy painting.
