I just bought my first Elizabeth Zimmermann book, Knitting Workshop.  After reading it cover to cover the first day, I cast-on for BSJ.  I used scraps of Plymouth Encore leftover from other projects and a size 8 needle.  This will be either an October birthday present or a xmas present, I haven't decided yet.  I really liked this pattern.  It knit up in 3 days and was difficult to put down.  I still need to sew up the seams and add buttons, but I'll get to that eventually.  In the mean time, I like admiring the clever construction that EZ came up with.  I'm in awe of her genious.

Here is the unconstructed jacket:



One sleeve folded up:

Dead Fish, as much fun to photograph as they are to knit!

Hi everyone.  This is my latest stained glass.  I got the pattern from a book.  I think it was called creative stained glass.  The example in the book used all muffle glass, but I like my selections much better. 


This next picture is a close up of my soldering.  I think it's my best soldering job to date. 


And finally, this is a close up of the center blue/green stem.  This picture does not do justice to how pretty this piece of glass really is. 


This is still unframed.  My husband told me that he would make me a wood frame for it, so I'm waiting for him.
