My latest knitting involves letterboxing.  Since I first learned about letterboxing through the Lime and Violet podcast, I thought it was only appropriate my first plant should be an homage to them.  I wanted the box to reflect them at least a little so I stared with a lime colored lock and lock box and a lime mechanical pencil.  Then the stamp.  I’m not the best artist in the world but I think you can at least tell that there is a citrus fruit and flower.  I felt there should be yarn and a sock involved (quite appropriate) so I made a mini violet “good luck” sock for the first finder and an inexpensive violet colored bracelet (so what if a guy finds it…surely he’ll know someone to give it to).  Finally, I got permission from Ms Violet herself to use the Lime and Violet website image for the front of the log book.  It’s called “Lime and Violet Letterbox, Arizona Edition #1″.  I’m thinking there might be some other crazy listeners that decide to do this too so maybe there will be a whole series!  I’m going out to plant it today and I’ll give the link later.1

I’ve also been working on another pair of bed socks for Sheila (in Louisa Harding Kimono Angora) and Erica’s birthday sweater in Blue Sky Bulky duotones.  This might be a good time to mention where you can HEAR more about my current projects.  I’ve just recorded my first podcast!  Between hunting for stamps in the desert, taking 11 mile hikes and starting a podcast, I know that this time I have truly lost my mind.  I just hope Jim gets here soon enough to save me from myself.

More letterboxing after the jump…skip if you’ve had enough of that! [Read more →]
