well, i still do that.

i’ve been working on a sweater for me, namely chamomile from rowan’s ’summer tweed collection’. the pattern is knit flat, but i really do not feel like sewing up a billion seams, so i’ve been adapting it to round work. this is pretty straight forward until you get to the neck opening. at that point you, or at least i, end up working the left side of the front, turning, working the left side again, then the back, then right side of the front and then the right front side again and then the back again. since you have to make eyelets on some rows, you kind of have to pay attention and crazy stuff like that.

so, this is where i am so far:

and this is a sample of the notes that got me there:

it’s been a little crazy lately. “it”? well, “i” is more accurate. the last few weeks i’ve been getting my chair portfolio ready (read scanned and printed on the art department’s fancy inkjet printer) to submit for a call for entries within the salt lake city public library system. the deadline was April 10, but i did my last stint of scanning and orinting on April 9 and got them in that day. whew!

so no i am busy looking for more chairs and keeping my hopes low in regard to the exhibition. sure, it would be nice and i have a particular affection for my own pictures, but many people are likely to be like my mom and just look in puzzlement and ask, “why would you take pictures of chairs?”

anyway, if you want to see the pictures that made the portfolio for the submission, you can view them here.

i’ll be posting more pics of chairs as i find them, but it may be a while as the photo lab is closing between semesters and i will not be able to develop my film. and no, the darkroom in sop’s basement is still not happening . (soon, i hope)

but very funny.
