Knitting cartoon snail

    I designed this character 4 years ago for a multimedia work competition, and it becomes the logo of my works since then. Now I made it an entity in real world. I would like to say Flash animation and knitting works connect the 2D and 3D world in my mind. 


    I am a perfectionist to my works, and have to say it did not fully reached my expectation.I tried to add yellow stripes on its shell but not looks good.


     Some of my friends misunderstood me after saw my works. They said "hey Sherry, you are a handy girl, and you definitely will become a good wife." I have to say it is so NOT true. I do know how to knit scarves,wool hat or even sweater, but they are not my interests. I am not a fashion designer and 0% possibility to be a housewife. I only knit toys which are not for the practical use, but bring people visual enjoyment. In my eyes it is Art. A good design is more important than technical skills.


    Each of my work is unique and has its own meanings.I hope one day, I can have a shelf or even a room to store all my works, and I can sit there and watch them when I get old.


    Went to purchase new wool yarns today. Every time I stand in front of that shelf, I want to purchase all of them. The next character is already in my mind, will finish within 2 months.


    Little snail: Please work harder, harder and harder!!!
