Wooha, the pestering worked, and not only that, maybe I’m first commenter w00t!

Anyways, it sure looks like you guys are having loads of fun!
Wish I could be there.
The other day painting with my daughter I made some really nice colour mixes, I can already feel the call, I am so doomed

I got some very nice pics that I didn’t post, because I wasn’t sure how people felt about full on pictures of faces and things, so I didn’t post Nora holding my ankle, or Gwynivar’s srs stare.

But one never takes enough pictures.

p.s.
I forgot the most important thing. It’s great to see Nora at work! I am too looking forward to see how her yarn knits up, I bet it’s going to look great. Please give my congratulations to the little lady

I desperately want to see that knit up!

It’s a good thing I’m too tired to be jealous today.

I’m never too tired to be jealous. Looks like such fun. And I want to see Black Stallion knitted up too ( one of my fave books as a child.)

I love the last pic on Georg’s post, heehee. And I see the wheel went along - did it get carsick??

OMG, you two have blown through that first 500 pound shipment already? Woah! I know, you’re ordering early so’s not to be stuck with no yarnz, but still . . .

Love seeing the studio, so spacious and organized — and not a dinner pot in sight!

As for Miss Nora, great furture indeed, but . . . she does know that the stallion will disappear when it’s knittied, right?

The stallion will not disappear. The stallion will enter stealth mode and be…everywhere.

EVERYBODY wants to see The Stallion knitted up. I am SO going to do this with my 4yo ArtistDaughter! She went Squee at the pics.

Now I’m spinning, maybe I can spin plain fleece and get her to paint it for me. Or get her to paint it for me and then spin it !

That is so cool that Nora made her yarn an actually canvas and the picture gets dyed in it. I too anxiously await to see how this knits up. It could be the start of a very cool trend in yarn dying

Love the quarter ton of wool! Or, rather, of artists’ canvas. (Artists with an s on purpose, of course!)

All sorts of loverly and intriguing and creative things happening, and I’m off to check out the Tserf Chronicles!

Is there a knitting machine in the Collective? We should knit Nora some Blanks, so she can see what it will look like knit up, and design on that. Then her pictures will show through, probably.

There may be a knitting machine somewhere in the collective.

[…] Every once in a while, she thinks outside the box – or maybe that’s outside the corral? This is the Black Stallion, the whole dye process can be found here. […]
