I just finished knitting a pair of cowboy booties. Just the thing for the new little cowpoke in town! It's not easy to find a knitted version but here it is: Giddy Up Baby Booties. They are knitted in the round and even have a tiny knitted heel. They turned out rootin' tootin' adorable.

Art and Soul Las Vegas
The first class was The Velveteen Bracelet. We learned to make 3-D charms with beads that roll around inside. I'm not happy with the velvet portion of the bracelet. I plan on redoing it with decorative stitching and neater wire wrapping. We were working with nickel silver wire, which is not as bendable as sterling.
Saturday's class was the Roulette Wheel Necklace. What a treat...there were only 5 people in the class! I love that Sally Jean didn't cancel. She told us she would never do that to her students. What a wonderful, unique instructor!!! We ended up working all day around one table, laughing and getting to know one another. It was one of the best experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I got it all soldered together and then I realized I forgot to put the ball inside. Problem solver that Sally Jean is, she suggested I attach it to the outside on a chain...not bad!
I will post pictures of the last class, Jumping Jack Flash, when my project is complete. In the meantime, I will leave you with some gorgeous photos of the pool area. I can't wait until next year!!!
A nice place to read by the pool. |

Balto, The Knitted Siberian Husky
Another knitted dog has been added to my pack. My own cats were too "busy" to be bothered with a photo shoot. Luckily, the neighbor's cat, Figaro, was available. He looks a bit appalled to find a dog in the yard.

Low Maintenance Dog
Meet Daisy, the knitted dog. The instructions in this book are vague and hard to follow, but the results are fabulous.
