Can it really be May already? I can’t believe how the year is rushing by…
The Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios is looming up once more which is why I haven’t been around for a while. I did my usual thing of thinking – a lot – about my piece for the Taster Exhibition for Open Studios at the Forum in Norwich, and then realising I hadn’t actually made it!
So here it is, and you’ll see that it came very much from the place I’ve been over the past months…
In fact the long scarf was made when I really couldn’t do anything else and it all fell into place in the end.
I’m glad I can look at it now as from a distance, making it it was definitely good therapy. My next piece is a return to normal Planet Penny jollity, a special needlefelt project for my god daughter. It’s a bespoke cake topper for her wedding cake so I can’t possibly share it until after the big day I’m afraid. However, I will be popping back in the build up to opening the studio to let you know the details because it would be great if you can visit.
So, see you soon…x

Love your piece, Penny. It captures perfectly the therapeutic benefits of knitting. x
It’s so nice to read your blog. I’ve missed hearing from you. The piece you created is so intricate. Have a fun filled week, Pat xx
Your lovely garden says it all about May,New life and hope.My hope is for better weather! Enjoy May now you have reached it,love Megan.
Oh, Penny, that is simply gorgeous! Well done. I hope that you will now have more peace in your life.

Penny, this work is brilliant on so many levels! It captures so many emotions and sensibilities. I am in awe! You are a Rock Star! So glad that you shared this experience!

Absolutely *BRILLIANT*!! – Not to mention, very well done!!
Make the hair somewhat longer [and getting mixed into the fiber!] in a reddish-grey colour. Throw in a crochet hook or three. And, a LOT more YARN, and we’d all be staring at a “portrait” of ME!!
BTW, CONGRATS on being part of a good size Exhibit!!
😀
I have said it before and will say again that is a beautiful piece of artwork and is sure good therapy to loose ourselves with what we love doing even if totally mindless……may you week be a good one Penny xo
Dear Penny, I got tears in my eyes seeing this. It’s so alive; little lady deep in her thoughts but hopefully/trying to concentrating to her rainbow colour yarn and knitting…on a grey cloud…
You are so talented and creative! Hugs! x Teje
Hi Penny, So good that you could create this and look at it and see the better place you are in and continuing forward to. Take it step by step.
Hello Penny,
As Teje, I’m moved by your knitter. Nice revenge on this disease.
Have a nice day.
