The reason Tina was so happy…
…was she was getting a tattoo on her wheel. ;o) Though there were some guesses that were pretty funny, hehehe
This past Saturday was the second annual Stitch and Spin in Catskill, NY. Through some good luck and some creative googling I was able to get my friend Don to come to the event with his paints (and his amazing talent) to trick out some wheels. Usually Don looks like this when he’s working:
(yes, that’s my Jeep getting detailed, he’s done both my Jeeps, R’s Dad’s ’48 Ford, our friend Ernie and Ruth’s Dodge, oh hell pretty much every one of our friends who has a hot rod has had it pinstriped by Don, he loves us, hehe)
On Saturday, Don looked like this:

You can see more (including closeups of my lil bee addition) by checking out Tina’s post and Harriet’s post on the Times Union Fiber Arts blog (please if you can, leave a comment on the TU blog, they still don’t believe we have such numbers, hehe. But then come back here ‘cuz I have more for you to read…I’ll wait…you back? cool.)
In knitting news, someone keeps asking about my sock progress so here it is:
Firestarter on the left, Lothlorien on the right. ;o)

What a great idea! A friend and I were talking about “pimping” her wheels. I’ll have to make sure she sees your blog.

Love the colour of both socks.
That is the way to trick out wheels! Those are precious adornments.
