Tree Cozy or Cozy Trees
I really don't know how I missed this three years ago! Here's another great knitty image from Bumbershoot 2006:
Bumbershoot 2006 - first day
Monorail Sweatered!
Went to Bumbershoot yesterday, and had a great time. While I didn't knit, I became curious about anything knitworthy to do with Seattle and/or this festival.
Here are the notes to go with this image:

Felted cow potholder - recto
Photo note:
"My first attempt at double-knitting (the front & back are knit at the same time, making a double layer of fabric, with one side the inverse of the other). Cascade 220."
Felted cow potholder - verso
Photo note:
"The first picture taken with my new camera (Sony CyberShot DSC W-50). The blurriness of the brown stititches is a result of the felting process. White/cream yarns don't felt as well as others, so there is a bit more stitch definition on the other side".
Mad Cow Socks
Photo note:
"Mad Cow pattern for Sock Madness
Opal Yarn, size 2.0 mm needles
maybe 300 yards?"
City Slicker
Okay, I'm loving these cows. For more info:

This guy was so easy to make! I knit all the pieces in the round which was super easy to do, and it saved a lot of time. You can see his face details a lot easier on the full sized image. blogged:

Blackberry Hills yarn
This looks gorgeous, too. I love the color variations, and can imagine a vest, or entire simple pullover sweater. . .
Flor - leopardo (blackberry lilly )
Is this not gorgeous? I can just imagine a cardigan made from these colors, maybe some fair isle. . .
Photographer's note:
"This is a blackberry lily, Belamcanda chinensis. They are called blackberry lilies because the fruit superficially resembles that of a blackberry."
Numma Numma Toasty Blackberry Jam - closeup
Yep, I'm there! Such rich tones I see when I'm crushing berries for jam. . .
More great sock fiber!
Fleece Artist Trail Socks Blackberry
Socks! Tis the season to start thinking about those socks. It's still warm, but as those mornings and evening begin to cool down, what better way to extend sandal season by adding a great pair of handknit socks to the equation!
JJ's Speciality Yarns Montage Brushed Mohair - Blackberry
Ooh, it's been awhile!
It's blackberry season around here, and I'm busy making blackberry cordial, jam, jelly, etc. So, I got to thinking about blackberry yarn. Such rich color!

Baked Alaska - spun
Just got back from Alaska, and was looking up Baked Alaska, which we had on our cruise. Silly me, I didn't realise it was the name of a great roving and yarn!
