I have TWO Knitting Art shops. Here's how to choose which one to use :

CafePress - lots of stuff, USA based

My CafePress shop sells a wide range of merchandise, and is based in the USA. This merchandise is printed on demand, and international postage costs apply if you are outside of the USA. This is the shop to use if you live in the USA or Canada, or don't mind paying extra for international shipping costs. Prices in this shop are in US dollars.

KnittingArt.com.au - four cards, Australia based

Four of my designs (Pink Shawl, Casting On, Red Mug and Anticipation) are printed on blank cards, here in Australia. These cards are available from my new Knitting Art shop.

This is the shop to use if you're in Australia or New Zealand and want some inexpensive cards and quick delivery. Prices in this shop are in Australian dollars and include GST if you're in Australia. The Knitting Art shop includes a wholesale marketplace for shop owners, as well, including export wholesale sales.

I will have original paintings for sale soon, too, through the Knitting Art shop. Stay tuned!

In recent years knitting has become more than a sometimes pastime for me, and more of an obsession. I even have a knitting Blog, many projects on the go at once, and a yarn stash that seems to be growing of its own accord (it's not me, honest!). I am a keen member of our local Stitch'n Bitch knitting group.

I've been trying to figure out how to include my love affair with this age-old craft with my new love affair with watercolour painting. In the past few months I have had many false starts, but with this painting I think I've finally broken through the barrier.

This painting makes me think of lazy afternoon teas with my girlfriends, when we 'play ladies', baking fancy little yummy things, setting the table with an old lace tablecloth and seldom-used silver, sipping tea from china cups garnered from our mothers, and knitting - what could be better? The pink shawl in this painting is the Forest Canopy Shawl pattern, knit with 4 ply pink wool from Bendigo Woolen Mills, on Addi Turbos.
