The Creator and the Destroyer

Here's a few of the things I've been working on:
Kali T-Shirt - my mother-in-law gave me a pink Old Navy shirt for my birthday, and, not being one to shill for corporations when I can help it, I had to change a few things. I over-dyed it a dark plum colour, appliqued one of Aunt Margie's old doilies dyed magenta over the ON logo, downloaded an image of Kali and made an iron-on, and voila! a new T-shirt suitable for wearing to the Maiwa 20th Anniversary Party. (Which was a lovely evening.)

Also, I'm knitting a pair of socks, having succumbed to the lures of Koigu at the new Three Bags Full shop on Main. I know there are those who think varigated yarn is tacky, but I do love the way the colours change every stitch or so. Can't get bored!

And I've made a new knitting bag from some of the fabric featured a few postings back. I would never have thought that purple, plum, acid yellow and black could be so delicious together. There will soon be a few for sale on the Etsy shop, which I have neglected lately. Too busy with these darn business classes.

And the Swap-o-rama-rama is coming up in less than two weeks. I know it will be fabulous, but I'm starting to panic about the details. Don't forget:
