Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. At Saturday's meeting, Deborah Narramore described something interesting that she had recently come across. Someone had realized that the color blue was not mentioned in either of Homer's books, the Iliad. And suggested that this could indicate that the color blue was one of the last dyes to be discovered.

Mrs Ramsey's Knitting: January 2011
http://mrsramseysknitting.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Knitting, art, the creative process. Thursday, January 13, 2011. For one thing, knitting rarely exceeds the dimensions of the human body, and we humans are pretty small. Knitting usually covers even less space than that. Half a body for a cardigan, a sixth of a body for a hat, a pair of socks or mittens. So knitting is pretty small. Large-scale knitting, like a sweater for an SUV, is automatically parodic, an ironic comment on the essential smallness of knitting. Cast on, knit a row, purl a row, repeat.

Mrs Ramsey's Knitting: March 2011
http://mrsramseysknitting.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Knitting, art, the creative process. Sunday, March 27, 2011. This spring I’m knitting a cardigan for summer, the Pinnate Cardigan by Amy Christophers ( Pinnate Cardigan. About a month ago, I chose an organic cotton yarn in a pale shade, nearly white, with flecks of what spinners call “vegetal matter.” It wasn’t until the dogwoods opened this month that I saw the connection. I’m knitting with the same creamy white I see outside my window. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mrs Ramsey's Knitting: September 2013
http://mrsramseysknitting.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Knitting, art, the creative process. Saturday, September 14, 2013. The Zen of Entanglement. Last week I plunged in to a project that has scared me for months. I had fallen in love with the Celestarium. Shawl featured in Twist Collective for Winter 2012, a circular shawl that replicates a star chart, with the stars represented by yarnovers and crystalline beads. I selected my yarn, a deep blue, I. Located and collected the beads, and laid the supplies, including the needles, on my work table. After comple...

Mrs Ramsey's Knitting: May 2012
http://mrsramseysknitting.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Knitting, art, the creative process. Thursday, May 10, 2012. Mrs Ramsay's Stockings- New and Improved. I've added a new version of the Lighthouse Socks, this time called Mrs. Ramsay's Stockings, to Ravelry as a free download. This version uses sock yarn, Three Irish Girls' Adorn Sock, for a more conventional sock. I hope you enjoy my knitter's tribute to Virginia Woolf's character, Mrs. Ramsay, and the presiding spirit of my blog. Mrs. Ramsay's Stockings. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mrs Ramsey's Knitting: May 2011
http://mrsramseysknitting.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Knitting, art, the creative process. Saturday, May 28, 2011. A week ago I drove up through northeast Alabama to Monteagle in the mountains of Tennessee. The sky was clear, and even though twisted billboards and splintered tree trunks gave evidence of the recent deadly tornados that tore through these valleys in April, the road side meadows showe no signs of nature’s abuse. In fact, Queen-Anne’s-lace, pink bindweed, yellow daisies and purple joe-pye weed bloomed in clumps all along the way. Lynne introduc...

Mrs Ramsey's Knitting: February 2013
http://mrsramseysknitting.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Knitting, art, the creative process. Sunday, February 24, 2013. It's been a long time since my last post, but I am resolved to do better from here on out! In the spirit of the waning days of winter, here's the Klimt Scarf I mentioned in my recent Ravelings for Interweave Knits. I spun a fine two-ply from a painted roving by Lynne Vogel. I gave the scarf to my beautiful sister-in-law who lives in Vienna. Hope it fits in there! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
