In that previous post I forgot to mention this other thing that got me off schedule for the bag I'm supposed to be making... Ever since I saw this on Sharon's blog and this, I've been wanting to give freeform knitting & crochet a go. I figure that it will be a good thing to do in front of the tv or while watching my son do his homework, because I like to keep my hands busy. This has the added benefit of keeping me from wanting to smack my son during his excruciating homework sessions. The idea here is to try to keep adding on to this little square you see here until it is long enough for a funky scarf. Unless I get sidetracked by something else again...
PS/ thanks to Michele for recently re-bringing the freeform articles to my attention again. (You know how you see stuff, and say "I wanna try that!", and then you forget? Story of my life.) I knew I forgot to add something to this post... Thank you Michele!

Heh! And I thought I was the only one who wants to smack their son during those harsh homework evenings!
I've been wanting to try this freeform stuff for a while. I need to sit and give it a whirl.

What a wonderful idea! And it's already been embellished. You do have an eye for detail. Don't you fear your daughter might covet the lovely funky scarf too? I sure do!

Ok. You need some more of the fuzzy stuff. And purple, you can never have enough purple. More green too would be nice. Hmmmmm pink, yellow and still some more fuzzy stuff. And fringe, lots of finge. And when you're done it's mine. It's time to diversify. Get it out of the house and give to others and let them enjoy your talents as much as your family. Diversify is a good word. It recently got a 9 year old to eat three brussel sprouts and admit they weren't bad. So maybe it will work on your daughter to give up that scarf. Tell her she can have a beaded dragon fly instead. Ok it's a shot in the dark but give me a little credit for trying. :)

We did a swap of these in the yahoo group FAZ and it was a lot of fun. I don't knit, but we were allowed to crotchet. The theme was Earth, Wind, Fire and Water and we made one each to trade. It really was a lot of fun. Your piece is very lively and collage-like.

It looks fun and very "together" in all the different colours. Great work!
