Twisted side effects

I got a lot of requests from my fellow knitters to post my Twisted Side Effects pattern again. I just wanted to explain why it's taking me forever to do so. There are a couple of reasons why the pattern is not up yet, I took it off because there were a few design issues, and I started being allergic to anything wool. When I'll re-write the pattern I would like to use a similar yarn used in the original sweater, it's perfect for the design and LA weather. The yarn I used is a 50% cotton + 50% merino, and called Balance by O-Wool. I can't wait to re-write the pattern, I just need to find the perfect yarn.

Elizabeth

I love the European, contemporary, very clean design furniture stores on Beverly and Robertson. My latest find is this amazing and huge canvas of Elizabeth Taylor, printed in black ink with tones of sparkles. Beautiful art and so Hollywood.

Self taught

I'm a graphic designer, I was trained to be one and I creatively doing it since I was 20 years old. All my other creative venues are self taught other then knitting. My mom taught me how to knit at a very early age, I don't even remember how old I was. I decided to take a semester long silk screen printing class at Otis. I love it, the instructor is great, very knowledgeable, the students are nice and friendly (95% are graphic designers), and the lab is amazing. ; The image is a collaboration of three students printing with freezer paper as a template (our second class). I printed the raindrops.
