siff movie #4 garbage dreams was so good. hopefully this movie gets wider distribution because i highly recommend you watch it.

thursday night craft night went to the columbia city art gallery to help artist/crafter, mandy greer crochet pieces of a blue stream that she will be putting together as a larger installation at camp long in west seattle called mater matrix mother. i can't wait to see the finished product. the coolest part about being involved in mandy's art installation is #1 she got the community involved by letting us contribute our smaller pieces to make the installation and #2 she taught us how to crochet and i must admit crocheting was so much easier than i thought.

sooo easy! for someone that has been knitting for almost 2 years and finished a handful of projects, crocheting was frustratingly easy!

and so friday morning when brian and i hopped on a plane for the shortest trip ever to north carolina, i brought some yarn and a pattern. i wanted to prove to myself that knitting can be a weekend project and still be ultra rewarding. so one roundtrip flight to north carolina later and i made a pair of gloves. yes, the gloves may look familiar to you and that is because i have knitted them before. the first pair i lost two days after knitting them, this pair i plan to hold on to for a while longer.
