#studio233

Even if I'm not personally here much during the pandemic, if ART247 is open so is the door to studio 233, and there's a lot to see inside. ☺ - I needed to swing by and switch out some supplies/inventory + I found out that there's a show opening this weekend, so I did some quick cleaning and reorganizing. It no longer looks like the place is still stuck in March, and while I did pretty much pack up all the hands on interactive stuff for the time being, after I erased the list of currently unavailable classes, I thought it might be fun to turn the chalkboard into a temporary selfie spot. - Not bad for only having three small pieces of chalk on hand, right? - If you want to stop in and take a selfie with my weird sun/monster thing, he's at @_art247 Inside studio 233. Don't forget to tag me @kylelefortcreative and say hi! ☺(I'll invite you back for rock painting and other fun art stuff when this crazy year is all over) . . Side note; Pretty sure I'm done with the outdoor chalk muralling this year, but if you'd like a print of anything I dres this season, I did upload some options to Redbubble and Society6.

Large neon yellow hat! I have a few more neon colors I plan to work with, but since the weather is getting warmer out this will probably be the last of the studio hats for a while. It's time to knit other things. :) If you're looking for one of my premade studio hats, there is a whole shelf of fun loom knit hats available inside studio 233, at ART247, Lockport NY. #bykylelefort #artstudio #studio233 #loomknithats #loomknitting #knittedhats #knitting #ribbedbrimhats #ribbedbrimhat #handmade #artisan #hats #ART247 #Lockportny #wnyartist #wnyart #wny #westernnewyork #femaleartist #acrylicyarn #neonyellow #neonhat #neonyellowhat https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmP714luRE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vy2zd63b7l55

First time knitting with an alpaca/wool blend yarn. The colors aren't entirely true to real life here, but it's close.

Two things: 1). If some of the recent hats look like they've got some fancier stitch work going on, it's because they do! I was experimenting with purl stitches on this hat and accidentally taught myself a basket weave pattern. How fun is that? However, I waited weeks to post this specific hat because; 2). I have a growing list of yarn colors/types that look amazing in person, but look bizarre on camera and this teal/green hat made the list. Two photoshoots and some photoshopping later and it's almost how it looks in real life. Oh well, I guess you'll just have to come see some of my work in person 😊 It's available inside studio 233, at ART247, Lockport NY. #bykylelefort #artstudio #studio233 #loomknithats #loomknitting #knittedhats #knitting #ribbedbrimhats #ribbedbrimhat #handmade #artisan #hats #ART247 #Lockportny #wnyartist #wnyart #wny #westernnewyork #femaleartist #teal #basketweaveknit #green #basketweavepattern (at Art247) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrbDJ-bFVc4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cohv07gwru0d

Hat requested by a co-worker.

Follow up to the previous polyester hat - This is a child sized version, and it has ears. *gasp* I usually don't knit em' this size, but this yarn is much too bulky for a baby and I was concerned the ears would be to heavy/floppy in an adult size, so I guess sometimes I do make kids hats now.

This hat is an explosion of purple polyester and it reminds me of a muppet.

This hat is a wool/acrylic blend, and it's a bit larger than some of the other hats in the Art studio.
