I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this song. Says it all, really.

Patterns
Available from the Cast On Shop, or Ravelry.
Brother Amos - Knit with the saints or fry with the sinners, your feet will look great either way. Inspired by the fiery preacher in the British modern classic novel, Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons, Brother Amos' socks feature a lace stitch pattern reminiscent of the flickering flames of hell where, according to Brother Amos, we're all doomed to "fritter and fry" for eternity.
Mrs Beeton - A free pattern, first published in Knitty.com, Mrs Beeton wrist warmers are the essence of romance, with soft ruffles that look wonderful peeking out from under a jacket sleeve, and beads that catch the light and sparkle at your wrists.
Driving Miss Daisy - Wrist-length fingerless driving gloves feature a daisy lace stitch pattern on the back of the hand, a thumb gusset for comfort, and a garter stitch wristband with single button closure for a snug and sassy fit.
That’s a brilliant song and beautiful video! But the best part is the art manifesto, because it’s so, so right!
Thank you for passing it on!
The art of giving, the art of receiving, the art of sharing, the art of caring.
The art of making the world a more beautiful place just by doing any of the above.
Most of all, the art of creating a moment.
The next time a video posted on this blog starts playing automatically, I’m going to have to unsubscribe from the RSS. Please fix this. No one else’s blog does this. It’s just annoying for those of us who share a space and don’t want to disturb others.
Eleanor, I’m not sure what to suggest. I haven’t actually set the videos to play automatically. They are set to start when you click the little flash arrow in the YouTube player. I’ve checked my settings, as well as the latest video post in both Firefox, and IE7, and the player does seem to be working fine in both browsers. There’s nothing I can do to fix your problem.
Perhaps, and this is just a suggestion, you could avoid disturbing the peace in your shared space, by investing in a set of headphones.
A great song and video. Inspiring, and I think, just what I needed to hear. Thank you very much for passing this along.
Oh wow Brenda, thank you for sharing! I have already sent it on to my daughter, who has just discovered a love for painting, and the art teacher at her school, to share with the students there.
Have a great day!

Perfectly perfect find, Brenda. Would you share the link for that, or would you rather I direct folks to the website? More folks need to see that. 🙂

Brenda – This is so great – Thank you for passing it along. It really strikes home with me as I just past my 60th birthday and have decided to return to my first love which is drawing and painting. Danny Gregory’s book An Illustrated Life looks at the role sketchbooks and journals play in the lives of artists and designers. I’m trying to catch up with your podcast – I just discovered it, so I have a long way to go! How is it that I love your podcast and I don’t even KNIt? At least I haven’t for many years. Your words are inspiring and your voice is wonderful. You are the best – thank you!
Yes!
