Just the other day, when I was browsing to see who had finished a poppy flower, I was so pleasantly surprised by the work of a talented knitter from Spain named Rosalia. She made the poppy flower and incorporated it in a beautiful bouquet, the complete work is all Rosalia's: Poppy Flower bouquet created by Rosalia from Spain It makes me so happy that a knitter all the way in Spain was able to purchase my poppy flower pattern and give...

Army of Poppies

Photoshoot with Lana
Fri. June 4th 2010 1am
When you dabble in knitwear design and put out patterns, you are bound to put out pictures of your work. So far I have always done photography myself and it is really a learning curve for this amateur photographer.  Today I want to give you a behind the scenes look.  A model, a hair/make-up stylist, and an amateur photographer All of the models I have worked with in the past, are my friends. Most of the time, I will entice them with knitted goods, and they always are willing to work with me. Lucky me! For a photo shoot, somebody has to take care of hair and make-up. And again I am...
