These envelopes are painted with watercolor, and they’ll be donated to a non-profit that will use them for donation request letters. I wasn’t feeling very inspired, but I fulfilled my commitment to make art. Good ’nuff for me.
I was inducted into the meaning of “join, being careful not to twist sts” this morning. In other words, I learned how to knit in the round. I have homework — to knit the first half of the hat until I need to start shaping. Next week I’ll learn how to do that shaping by using double-pointed needles. Finally, I’ll knit something not rectangular! 🙂


I love these envelopes and have been wanting to do this for art mail to friends. it’s great that you did a bunch at a time. all of them are lovely, colorful and fun! also read your post on cleaning. you cracked me up about how you kept going and going. yup, been there! hope you have recovered by now. lol! –Lia
