PEARL IS 1 YEAR OLD! PARTY TIME!!

Yup, my little knitter girl has been on the net for one whole year, and yes...I'm wanting to celebrate this fact by having:

A TEE SHIRT GIVE-AWAY!

I will be giving away one of the Needled Heart Tees at the end of this month...all YOU have to do to enter is comment on this toon with your name, e-mail address, which style tee you want and which size - I have them in xsm - xl in one tee and up to 2xl in the other... I will have Cafepress send the tee to you personally!  To see the shirts, just click on the two 'Needled Hearts' on the left...I have one myself and I am thrilled at how great it is!  On January 31st, I will use a random number generator to chose a winner...one entry per person please.  Thank you all for being with me here on the Pearl Too comic  :)

Early Christmas Shopping...

Just keep this in mind...alot of knitters knit their gifts ;)

Everyone Has a Little Trouble Now and Again....

I have nearly a lifetime experience with yarn, but just sometimes, I swear it's like my knitting explodes or something...weird, huh?

This 'toon available on this lovely tee here

The Knitting Jag...

sometimes, a knitter will get extremely fond of a pattern or a certain kind of project, so much so that for a time period that seems to last forever, that's all the knitter knits - in a kind of extreme sort of obsessive way. The problem is eventually you have to find homes for all this stuff by giving it to everyone...and anyone ;)

Yes, We can...

....really ;)

(click today's comic to see an awesome tee with this image! buy one and I'll be so happy! and hey, there's a tote bag too - buying one of those would make me happy too! buy one of each and you're on my xmas card list forever.)

Naughty Kitty...

Pearl's back!! (And her front too)

Arm update: Off to the orthopedic surgeon on June 1st for a progress check-up...got my fingers crossed that I'll get an 'all's well' and be cleared to get life all back to normal :)

A Little Side Trip of Great Fun...

My arm is improving...I can do most things for a period of time. I'm making progress with the physical therapist and I can almost bring my right arm up level with my shoulder. I can now draw for short little stints :)

I've been thinking alot lately about the steampunk genre, my absolute favorite theme of all, and my chibi drawing style...so here's a little something I came up with just for fun and to get me back in the mood to draw again...it's wayy out of the Pearl Too universe and literally off into the wild blue yonder, steampunk style...I give you my son, Zack, as a chibi steampunk airship captain....

Note: The above drawing was 99% colored using the Photoshop techniques found in the video tutorial at the bottom of this page...check it out, it vastly improved my abilities in that area, thanks to Wil, the heart and soul of Creative Soul TV.

The Joy of Knitting...and Knitting....and Knitting...and Knitting Some More...

'Mindless or TV Knitting (definition): A knitting project that, by virtue of it's easy and repetitive pattern can be knitted without too much thinking, something that can be done while the better part of your mind is occupied with another equally entertaining activity such as watching reality television.'

Sometimes, just sometimes the knitter gets too involved with mindless knitting. Smile gently & wear it anyway.

What's Wrong?? Ohhh, Nothing....

Misplacing Knitting Needles . . . . . Bad

Finding Them the Hard Way . . . . Also Bad

To your non-knitting friends, the look on your face . . . . . priceless

Don't Bother Us When We're Counting....

Nearly every knitter I know reacts in nearly exactly the same way when someone unwittingly tries to get the knitter’s attention while she/he is counting (and very often re-counting when we lose count) about a bazillion-six stitches – raising our voices and counting louder & louder until they get the picture…so, dear family and friends – we really do love you, just go away when we’re counting stitches.
