Blue
Fri. January 14th 2011 5am
Today was another fun day at yarn shop La Casita in Brooklyn and somehow the color blue seemed to play a significant role. It started when I picked out some gorgeous aqua/teal blue Magnum yarn from Cascade to knit up a luscious garter stitch scarf. I treated myself on a velvet cupcake and couldn't resist to take a picture: Then, knitter Michelle came by to show us her garter stitch cowl in progress. She only had to seam her piece up and I explained to her how to.  She was so excited! And so was I...           It was such a delight to see how much fun...

Seeking Inspiration
Thu. January 6th 2011 2am
In between Christmas and New Year's I have had the chance to put up my feet and browse through lots of knitting books, knitting magazines and stitch pattern books. It was such a pleasure to have the time to myself and be inspired.  After I was done with all of my knitting books and magazines, I then moved on to my glossy fashion magazines and had a fun time ripping out inspirational images in order to put together a moodboard. I had lots to go through and I intensely enjoyed it. When I had gone through all of my fashion magazines and subtracted only that what really inspired me, I...

        Hello there, how you doin'? I missed you guys! I cannot believe it...we made it through the Holidays and New Year's.
