The Knitting Artist The Knitting Artist is a small business focusing on hand dyed yarns to match the unique oil paintings of Lisa Urban.

Currently available locally in BCS at the Frame Gallery in downtown Bryan. Lisa Urban - The Knitting Artist - is a knitter and painter focusing on unique products for knitters. Her oil paintings explore surrealistic worlds made up of knitted forms and have become the basis for her unique hand-dyed yarns. Each skein is hand-painted to match a specific oil painting from her portfolio with vibrant, beautiful colors. Besides yarn, she also sells custom "drawn" shoes, watercolor knitted greeting cards and books, stitch markers, fun "yarnbombed" postcards and much more. Check her out on Etsy for all your knitting gift needs!

I haven’t felt like needles and hooks lately, as I caught the tiny weaving bug. I have been knocking out these cute hand spun “mug rugs” like crazy the last few days (and some last month). I’ll probably sell them at my next show… if I can bear to part with them!

I had the amazing pleasure of taking a class with Stephanie at DFW Fiber Fest this past September. As soon as I walked out of her class I went searching for self striping yarn to make the and found this gorgeous choice from Debbie Forrester. This wasn’t the fastest knit because I saved it for times I needed a mindless project, but I am happy to say it’s done. It fits so well I will be making more of these !

Yes I look tired. I am tired. But I’m still creating. This is ANOTHER granny tee. This time striping three handspun yarns. Finished in under two weeks and also matches my art!

It has been a good 5+ years since I touched a drop spindle but today… I just had to. And it came back to me in seconds. Old hobbies, new projects, happy Lisa :)

If you are a local sock knitter, you are in luck. I just restocked a ton of variegated colorways in my sock base- SW Merino+Nylon - at The Frame Gallery.
And if you aren’t a sock knitter, there is more silky single now too!
