Works of note

Here are a few images of artwork I saw, that are stuck in my mind:

Figure in a Mountain Landscape I, Peter Doig.

Some wild and lovely nail art Via a nail art blog, but sadly, I've forgotten the name.

Jim Hodges, No Betweens. This work is giant and amazing in person.

Strep and Knitting

I have wanted a cowl since i saw the yummy black cashmere YSL last winter. Even on sale it was $300, so when strep presented itself I finally got around to knitting one and updating this. I started this at 11am today, and even with miscellaneous errands I managed to finish by 8pm today. Yeahh me. I put in on ravelry and titled it "Big Fat Cow(l)" The color makes me think of Opening Ceremony in New York.

The yarn is from Twinkle. I c/o 60, knit 3 rows in rib stitch, and then alternated the rib stitch until it was long enough for my neck/head. Then I knit 3 more rows in an alternating rib and casted off. I used almost 2 skeins.

Coats

Photos of a coat from Opening Ceremony by Charles Anastase . I love him, his designs, and I wish I was making enough money to be able to buy this lovely coat. Perfect for all the rainy fall days in Philadelphia. ;)
