I'm feeling quite inspired today...maybe it is because it is Friday, maybe it is because I watched the season premire of Project Runway last night.....I googled "inspired" and this came up. It is the artist's (Dale Wicks artbywicks.com) take on the famous Starry Night. It is beautiful. I have always been a fan of Starry Night, but I think Dale has really brought a new dimension to this piece.
In the vein of this new found inspiration, I'm going to try, no, I will knit a sweater, yes, a sweater for me to wear. Not a scarf, not a baby cocoon...a sweater! Woohoo! To avoid frustration, I have decided to do a "knit in one piece" garmet. It is the Rolled-Collar Shrug by Marcia Cleary. I found it on www.vogueknitting.com. Wish me luck...I'll post pictures as I go along! ( http://www.vogueknitting.com/patterns/free/2008/rolled-collar-shrug.pdf )
If you have knitted this shrug, I would appreciate tips and guidence!!
What is inspiring you lateley?
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Oh Julie, that is a very cute shrug! I can hardly wait to watch your progress!!
very cute! good luck!
Great literature! It's inspiring me to read and to write so that someday I might contribute to the writers realm on a larger scale.
I took a knitting class once but I never was able to sew anything that could be worn. I made a scarf once but it was deformed. : ]
A whole sweater?! You're much more adventurous than me! Hope it's going well :)
