Think~Tank Thursday::

Have you ever noticed that a great-idea isn't as simple as that? I sat down to begin the planning stages of the workshop and then it slowly hits me: I'm not just moving things around. As it turns out, I'm transitioning this space from a workshop/gift storage/art studio to a fully re-decorated area to create & design in.

Make sense?

Here's what I have in mind...

 
West Wall: This will be covered with black frames from the top of the ceiling downward. Varying in size from 11x14-5x7, containing carefully selected photographs of our children, family & friends.

 
South Wall: This entire wall will be covered from ceiling to floor with one solid piece of mirror -making this room appear much larger. It stands adjacent to the only wall with a window - therefore creating more natural light (!!!) A shabby-chic chair and table w/lamp goes here too!

 
 
East Wall: John Mayer's video Heart of Life - Live is the inspiration for this :) I apologize for the poor quality, but you get the general idea :) A back drop of  forest-y sihlouette against a graduated muted neutral yellow-mediterranian blue-deep purple sky. Perhaps a few carefully revealed firefly's skipping about through the trees.

 
North Wall: Not sure. This may need to stay this way as I like the set up. Either way, it'll be the last wall to be done.

Well??? Any suggestions?

 
In the mean time, I've lost count on how many of these I have made.Of course, my model helps. He loves these :)

Simple Pattern:

CO 72 stitches w/size 10 circulars

K2P2 each row until this piece measures 2-2 1/2 inches

Knit all rows until entire piece measures 6 inches

Next Row: K7 K2tog around
