I've just finished this sweater for my knitting class this semester. I am so very proud!

The yarn I used is actually many different colors of donated yarn held together to make a crazy marled effect, and only one extra red yarn is added for the ribbing compared to the main body of the sweater. It was knitted on a hand operated Passap machine and then assembled by hand. Hopefully it will be accepted into the fashion show, if so more pictures will follow in a month or two!

RAFIA!

So, here are the 30 rafia flowers I made for the Studio Tord Boontje exhibit to come next fall at the Philadelphia University Design Center (as previously mentioned in the lace exhibit post). Other students made other components and they will eventually be assembled into big curtain panels and hung over a full wall of windows. I'm pretty excited to be a part of such a neat project, even though these took me forever to finish! But they are done, and are quite lovely, so all is well. One more thing to cross of my list before graduation!
