April's "Teaser"

April's Inspiration - Andy Warhol

Just the right amount of whimsy in this painting to lead us into the Spring season!

March's Inspiration - Gustav Klimt

We've done other Klimt paintings as inspiration and like the others, this piece also has fantastic colourations which were fun to handpaint onto the yarns! Look closely at your yarn when you get it as it has an extra special something to it!

Piece name: Judith

February's "Spoiler"

I really enjoyed dyeing this one as the use of colour in Schiele's piece is amazing!  Enjoy :)

February's Inspiration - Egon Schiele

I wavered between a couple of self-portrait pieces from this artist but when the yarns came out of the dye pots, this one was the best to capture the colourway:

If you get a chance, visit his website here. Lots of thought-provoking pieces as well as a few racy ones but his use of colour is glorious!

January's "Spoiler"

And this month's spoiler image...since I couldn't decide which way to go with the colourway, I ended up doing two versions - they were mailed to everyone randomly and about half to half - which one did you get?


I still have 2 of the red (not green) colourway available if anyone is interested in that particular version. Enjoy!

January's Inspiration - John Waterhouse

A lovely painting entitled Narcissus, 1912 was this month's inspiration piece. Because I couldn't decide which way to go with this colourway, I ended up with two versions for this month which everyone will receive one of randomly. Yarns mail tomorrow due to Canada Post being closed today for New Year's Day on Saturday. Happy New Year everyone!

Squooshy Sock Yarn

November's Inspiration & "Teaser"

November's inspiration piece this month is "The Virgin of the Rocks" by Leonardo da Vinci.  The colourway came out rich, dark and mysterious...I love it!  Enjoy :)

October's "Teaser"

October's Inspiration - Sue Coleman

This month we're going in a whole different direction with the art piece! Sue Coleman is not a name like Van Gogh or Dali *but* she does some amazing art pieces and I decided to go with one.  She hails from British Columbia where I grew up and her work is gorgeous!  This piece is entitled "Wolf":

September's "Spoiler"

Lots of fun to handpaint this one - hope everyone is enjoying the colourway!

September's Inspiration - Salvador Dali (& "Teaser")

Salvador Dali holds a special spot in my heart and I like to come back to his paintings every once in awhile for that reason. I have no idea what he is trying to say with his paintings but I sure do love the bold colours which seems to go so well with his bold, "out there" paintings.  This month's painting is entitled "Burning Giraffe".

Enjoy everyone! The yarns are in the mail already today!

August's "Spoiler"

Really enjoyed dyeing this one and also enjoyed the yarn base (merino/bamboo/nylon) as I haven't dyed this one in particular for the club for awhile!  It seemed perfect for the summer months with the bamboo content!
