Knit one Perl two it's code for relaxation and for SACKBOY

Knitting and crocheting is food for the soul. You can sit, relax and even watch TV while doing it. Who would have thought making little knots in yarn could be so pleasing. Like macrame it's just a series of knots all twisted up into something that might just be useful. You can get yarn in so many colors and so many textures these days. Big chunky yarn that can be knitted up into a sweater in an afternoon or the finest of yarns that can be woven on a loom. I have a love affair with beautiful hand dyed yarns. Cashmere calls out to me in the same ways as a new fabric collection.
I enjoy knitting up little tiny treasures that don't take more than a few days. Children's sweaters are oh so sweet (even if I don't have a grand child yet). And of course the little sackboy's I designed for my son who was so in love with Little Big Planet at the time and begged me to make him a his own.
Here are a few of my favorite things that while sitting and relaxing came to be....

My sackboy pattern I designed.  Isn't he the cutest thing ever!

Pedal Pusher Class technique by Nova Montgomery, pattern by Ruth Jensen

Nova Montgomery teaches Pedal Pushers at Quilters Crossing.  Pattern by Ruth Jensen, technique by Nova Montgomery.

I was able to complete three block in class yesterday. Learning this technique was fun. Ruth Jensen has a dragon fly pattern that Nova also teaches and I think I'd love doing that class even more. I can picture that quilt hanging on my wall. I think I'll just make a couple pillows with the pedal pusher blocks as I don't need anymore future grand children quilts.
