Group of Seven (Mason-Dixon Minis)
Hi all:
well, I got lazy and decided to finish with seven, not nine. Here they are, mounted on wee little 4"x4" canvases:
They were all knitted using Stork Svale fingering cotton - on 2.5 mm (US 1 1/2, I think) double pointed needles.
A fun little exercise - my favourite is the Nina shawl, and I will be taking the yarn for a full-sized one abroad with me on my Christmas trip to London, UK and Paris. :-) Also planning to make a full sized Circle of Fun rug sometime early in the new year 2008.
For more information than you likely need and some more photos, feel free to pop on over to the blog.
Cheers,
Kristina

World's Smallest Curve of Pursuit?
Hi all: I've recently started a project on miniatures. In the course of this I decided to try to come up with a mini version of Pat Ashforth's Curve of Pursuit (at p. 66 of the MDK book):
The model is Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald.
Some may or may not recall that I had made a blanket from the full pattern at the beginning of this year. This is a photo of the two together:
The original is 60" x 60", the new one 4" x 4". Cute, eh?
For more info, hop on over to the blog.
Cheers,
