Knitting Frenzy

Posted on 3 Mar ’10 by Nikki Murray

Maybe it’s the cold weather or maybe it’s to relieve all the stress from work, but I have been knitting what seems like nonstop since the start of the year. It began with Emma’s beret:
emma's beret

Which was followed by a hat for Esther, who subsequently had a special request for a hat for her father:
hat for esther

for Esther's dad

Then I started work on a hat for myself (which was ignored for nearly two months):
my hat

After getting a little tired of the same ol’ thing, I decided to try my hand at stranded knitting:
hope's star

Upon the completion of that, I began sketching and knitting my own designs:
new design

skull sketch

finished hat

My wrists are tired but I refuse to stop knitting.

    My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. I presently work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.

    Also me:
