Thank you for your creations!

Hello Glove Knitters,

It is a gorgeous, sunny spring morning in Kansas City, Missouri and today is my 50th Birthday! My family has already begun giving me the Queen-bee treatment, I have enjoyed lots of well wishes, and am now feasting my eyes on your beautiful handiwork.

Thank you all, so much, for participating in Cathy’s knitalong for my gloves. As many of you are discovering, this enchanting knitwear design has an almost magical lure. Perhaps it is the entertaining color stranding technique, perhaps the gradual emerging of your colors and pattern…..don’t want to over-analyze it….it is just plain knitting entertainment.

The photos and comments you all are posting are very dear to me. I feel like I am watching lovely flowers bloom each time I visit the site. Your creations are my little offspring, growing more beautiful each day. I dream of composing a little album of your photos including your name and place on the globe. Would this be alright with you? I have no plans to use this for commerical purposes, purely for my own inspiration and enjoyment. Or does this violate knitalong ettiquette? Let me know if I have your permission to include your photo/name/state or country in a file.

I am grateful to The Studio Knitting and Needlepoint in Kansas City for supporting my knitwear design efforts and publishing my pattern. Although I am still at the "starving artist" phase of my career in knitwear design, I am inspired to create and document my creations just for the pleasure of sending this positive energy to other knitters.

Best wishes to all of you,
Karen
