S&B - June 21, 2006

It was a good-sized group last evening and we were all busy with our projects.

One of the projects was one that Karen's been working on lately. It's a lovely tank top, made up of stripes. The stripes, however, are not random. Karen's based the stripes on the Fibonnaci Sequence. I believe that Linda striped her Lucy Bags in this manner, too.




And while the vein in my head was throbbing due to the wild mathematics conversation last night, I thought why not investigate sites that combine the Fibonnaci Sequence and knitting?

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Fuzzy Galore

Knitting-and.com

Magknits

Making Light (it's a good article with excellent links)





Drop a line in the comments if you have other links or sources! Meanwhile, I need a bit of lie-down as I'm having algebra flashbacks.

KIP Day, Part II

My apologies for the lateness of this post! Busy at work and home, so I've not had a chance to post the additional photos of KIP Day at North Park Mall last week.

This was my swatch of the BWK wool yarn from Jo's shop, The Fiber Underground.




And here's the lovely Claire with her beautiful swatch and dye job on the organic mulberry silk noil.




Close-up of the swatch.




Brenda was working on facecloths after Darcy got us all hot and bothered with her beautiful knit work on dishcloths.




Karen's working on a shawl from her handspun alpaca blend wool.




Jeanne K. was working on a prayer shawl (I think, if someone knows for sure, leave a comment please!).




I believe this is Lynn's sweater she was working on...




And Barb's sock on two circs.




Jeanne continues to work on her lace scarf from the Tiki [bamboo yarn] (again, from Jo's shop).




And one of the ladies that joined us for the KIP Day, had one of these... I have no clue what they're called, but it looked wicked!




Again, it was a great time and now that I have more than enough warning about the next event, we'll try to make it a bigger gathering next year!

Finally, a huge thanks to Barb for the use of her camera and the photos she sent to me!
