Here's the other piece I did for the Junc Gallery show. I made the figure, then drew a picture of him, and placed a knitting graph on top of the drawing (in photoshop) and figured out an intarsia chart for him. Then I knitted for just about ever. Again with the 3D/2D thing, yeah?

I really like the colors on this one. Pink and orange together is one of my favorite color combinations, but I felt like I needed to temper it with a bit of grayish blue-green. Click on the photos for larger versions, if you like.

In other news, I've recently learned to silkscreen. This tutorial by Shannon Gerard helped a lot. So did having a husband who knows what he's doing... thanks Jeff. I'm hoping to have something to show for all the mess in a bit! I definitely recommend learning a new skill this summer, it's nice for a change of pace. Going from knitting toys (which take me between 4 and 8 hours, depending on the toy) to the nearly instantaneous results of silkscreening is such a joy.
