HOW TO - Knit and Felt a Squid
February 16, 2008 |
I found this adorable little sea creature on “CraftZineâ€. As I followed the link, I ended up on the “Fiber Fool†site where the instructions are. This again led me to the Island of “Misfit Patterns†where the original “Naughty Squiddy†was created! This also is a great site offering many free patterns with tutorials.  All of the above will come together once you visit the first site. You will want to visit each site and take in all they have to offer. But today I am doing this article about the creator of the Squid.Following is kristi’s profile: Artist * Baker * Bookbinder * Collagist * Coloradoan * Cook * Daughter * Designer * Friend * Granddaughter * Instructor * Knitter * Minnesota Native * Movie Watcher * Music Fan * Musician * Photographer * Reader * Singer * Sister * Spinner * Tea Party Giver * Theater Goer * UND Alumnus * Wife * WriterThese are just a few of the hats I wear; the ones that came to mind readily anyway. I guess I’m a bit of a Renaissance woman. I *love* learning and researching. My mom tells me that even as a young child once I “mastered†something to a certain level I grew tired and moved onto the next thing. I think that is why the fiber arts have attracted me in recent years. There are so many different things you can learn about them and things are ever changing and evolving.My creative pursuits are often influenced by my day to day experiences such as reading, movies, music, and cooking, as well as the traditions and stories from my past. To experience my art and my designs to their fullest I think it helps to have a more rounded and complete view of who I am as a person, hence my inclusion of a wide variety of subjects beyond the scope of my creative process in this blog.
