observation

for many people who
draw, write and create in
a myriad of ways, these words
ring true. . .


"Observation and study
are necessary to achieve
mastery of light and form."

(Andrew Loomis)

it goes like this . . .

so much has been happening in the
past week.
Where does this leave the
occupants of the house of Knitting Poodle?


Vacations, No vacations,
appointments, cancellations,
Dinners out, cancelled lunches ...
what a busy (or not) week it's been.

words for inspiration

"Now then, you of noble mind,
who love this profession,
come at once to art and
accept these precepts:
enthusiasm (love), reverence, obedience, and perseverance."

(Cennino Cennini, 1370-1440)

red, peach, ecru and black

this snazzy swirl
opens up into a lovely cotton scarf.
It's my favourite.
it goes with everything
and makes me feel
bright and colourful.

How to relax

Here, the Knitting Companion
demonstrates two ways
to get cozy and comfortable
during the day. No sense
being bored or stressed between
meals, games or other exciting events.
Just relax and have a snooze.

Neighbourly displays

Easter is
coming up at the end of this month.
you can certainly
tell, because of the display
on our neighbour's festive
porch.

And yes, that certainly
is an Easter Wreath on the door.
