Work In Progress
I bought a goddess knitting pattern on Etsy. I have been working on peg dolls for awhile so I thought I would have a change. You get the pattern very quickly as a PDF download. Here is the link: Greenwoman Healing Arts.
I am using a pastel cotton yarn and metal needles although I usually like wooden ones. It was all I had in the correct size.
I usually like to keep my hands busy while watching a movie or the Olympics with the family. My grandmother, Lillian, taught me to knit many years ago. She was a wiz and did not need patterns.
I do not like tricky intricate patterns like cables. This pattern is fairy easy but you must keep your place.
Here is the ancient goddess symbol that this figure is based on.
She is a bird goddess from Egypt and resides at the Brooklyn Museum. There are many artistic depictions of these ancient goddess symbols and I am going to make one soon.

Looks to be a good start to a very beautiful project. I love the intricate work shown in the pattern for the body.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the finished product and embellishing it. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteBeautiful yarn choice! Can't wait to see the finished product. :)
ReplyDeleteThe yarn's been in my stash for awhile so its a stash blaster!
DeleteLove the result!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteOh this is my sort of knitting... too cool
ReplyDeleteI visited your blog and your are about to travel; so best to take small projects!
DeleteThat will be beautiful. I have to use metal needles when knitting with cotton. It just doesn't work well on my wooden/bamboo needles.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you stop by!
DeleteWhat an interesting knit. Looking forward to seeing the finished Goddess.
ReplyDeleteI'm close. I went to the herb store yesterday to get fresh lavender, rosemary and holy basil to stuff it with.
