tickled pink ...

well i'd be a bald-faced liar if i didn't confess to being absolutely tickled pink over the article written and illustrated by seattle times news artist Gabriel Campanario ...

gabi visited our fair city last week ...

he met with my "partner in yarn", suzanne, and i ...

we shared the recent yarn bombing trend with gabi and he asked loads of questions ...

suzanne shared the process of procuring approval for the year-long tree sock project ...

afterwards we retreated to suzanne's studio to show gabi two fiber artists in action ...

suzanne churned out what seemed like miles of knitting on her machine ...

i wound balls of yarn ...

many many balls of yarn ... towers of yarn balls ...

and gabi sketched and painted ...

and the end result was the article "fresh socks may tickle fans, stump critics" ...

thanks gabi for spending the day with us ...

we tried to be on our best behavior but we did warn you ...

now speaking of tickled pink, here's a sneak preview of what's blooming in sammamish for spring ...

think pink ...
