Oooh, I am so happy to have this new knitting bowl. Perhaps you have seen these made from ceramic, but this one is hand made by Don Maxwell, husband of knitting friend Kathy, out of cherry wood. Don is a fantastic wood turner and he has found an eager audience among us knitters.The idea of this bowl is to feed the yarn through without it falling to the floor, which is what usually happens as I knit along. It works like a dream.
Signed by the artist. This is a real heirloom. I am so thrilled to be its owner.
I had my camera handy for some Dawg pictures, which show Chumley with his favorite Pink Chewy Bone. He looks posed... so rare. Then he attacks it with enthusiasm. 
Snoozin' away in front of the TV.
What an awesome idea. i love that bowl.
ReplyDeletethanks for the link! I have seen these in ceramic but want to send one by mail as a gift. Wood would be less likelyto break, I think!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
That is a beautiful bowl, and a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the doggie shots. My pug really enjoys his chew bones AND his naps too!
What a beautiful bowl! It takes a creative mind to think of something so practical, yet beautiful at the same time. Once again, thanks for the classic dog shots--I do so love those puggy faces.

ReplyDeleteI've seen some yarn bowls, but that one is particularly beautiful. I love the dawgs!
ReplyDeleteI love the bowl evan just as a bowl. Beatiful wood.
ReplyDeleteThose pugs are characters, I can't imagine you two without them now.
My husband is a wood turner who is known for his fine finishes. Can't wait to show him this. What a great job the artist did.
