Yesterday, I finished knitting a very simple sweater for the Knitting Olympics. It feels good to wear a garment that I’ve made and I can’t wait to start another. If you’re worried that you don’t have the skills yet to tackle a sweater—don’t worry, you’ll develop the skills along the way.

I will have this goal done by the time they extinguish the flame in Torino! I will. I will. I will. I bought some beautiful green yarn for the Suss Designs Ballerina Top – a fairly straight forward cardigan knit on one piece and closed with a single button.
Gaijin Fujita at LACMA

My art trip this weekend didn’t stray too far from my ‘hood. I walked over to LACMA to see the current Contemporary Projects show with Gaijin Fijita and Pabla Vargas Lugo. I highly recommend it.
