The Wonderous Art of Knitting

Knitting. I love to watch people knit. It looks so relaxing and peaceful...like you can daydream the hours away while your hands take off on their own, fingers dancing through yards and yards of colorful yarn. There is a group in my town called Knitscape, which is a community public art project under the creative oversight of a local artist. They have taken on the most amazing project of knitting and crocheting colorful sheathes around trees, lamp posts and parking meters all over town. It's unexpected art brightens the community in so many ways.

Personally...I can't knit. I just can't. I am all thumbs. I'm jealous of those who can...yet realistic about my inability to master the art. However Etsyblogger member Vicki - aka Dizzy Dragonflies , who is the featured etsyblogger this month, can! Not only can she, but she also hand dyes 100% wool in her own kitchen and lists them in her Etsy shop. While strolling through Vicki's blog I find that I love how she provides a visual tutorial of her dying process and even gets hubby to help! You go Vicki! Look at the picture from her blog below. See what I mean about color?!?!?
