"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: That a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists."

Exfoliate!



In this incredibly busy summer I haven't minied. Not even once. I've barely had the time or energy to use my imagination, let along act on it. But what I have been able to do is knit and crochet. Mostly in preparation for selling bits and pieces at the Garlic Festival - but also some other fun pieces which I shant be selling.

If you are a Whovian like myself. these evil, little squid-like creatures, living in a metal tank constructed of hate need no introduction - but perhaps even if you do know who the Daleks are, you mayn't recognize them on a washcloth! Isn't it great?
As soon as I saw them on ravelry I had to try! These are my first bobbles - I do love learning a new stitch!

Penwiper at Ravely shared this fantastic pattern of her creation:

I love them!

My Summer is nearly drawing to a close and I'm so excited to tell you I will be back to minis and a sense of balance soon! I can hardly wait! :D

I'm not a Dr Who person but my brother is so I knew right away those were Daleks! Nice job- they are awesome!!! My summer did not include many minis either- it's been a whirlwind! Happy almost fall to you :)

Cool, Daleks! Must be in the air this week, with the mid season premiere this past Saturday. I have been working on a sampler with the quote "I am making perfect sense, you are just not keeping up..." LOL! Will bring it along the next time we meet:). Kim:)
