Nonstop knitting machine

I've worked up a few new gris designs:





















And revisiting a few favourites in new yarns:













I just sent a big batch to Bookhou in time for a big design event on Saturday. If you're in the area, I would strongly suggest a visit to see Arounna and John's beautiful shop.

You'll also soon find a few more pieces on Wiksten's online shop, and of course some in my own shop.


And this weekend I'll be finishing up a few custom orders, and hoping to steal a few minutes to do a bit of selfish knitting.


Hope you have a lovely, cozy weekend.

Snowcheck

I've had to take a "snowcheck" on two outings this week because of the crazy storms we've been experiencing. Which in fact is fine for a homebody like me.

I always enjoy seeing other people's creative spaces, and thought that perhaps you would like to see little bits of mine.


Newly cleaned desk. My sewing machine is under the blue and white linen.


I love seeing my tools all organized and ready to be used.


A little collection of sea stones. I think they would like some pretty finery. I need to learn how to crochet.


My new el-cheapo-but-functional ikea book case to hold my growing stash of Gris Handknits yarn.


The artwork in the foreground was a christmas gift from my ultra-talented and dear cousin.


The dear little ceramic owl belonged to my paternal grand-mother Kitty. In her younger days, Kitty was the life of the party, and an incredible hostess. She collected owls, and I chose this one as a keepsake after she passed away.


I purchased this Edwardian blouse for a song at a vintage clothing show I had the pleasure of going to with Margie this fall.



I love wool blankets. The beautiful striped one was actually woven by my maternal grand-mother. It is incredibly precious to me.

Have a cozy weekend!

Fresh and fun

There's nothing like a fresh blanket of snow to greet the new year.




Though my busy schedule has left very little time for play, I couldn't help but go out for a bit of fun. The ski season is so short and precious.


I hope that you have taken some time to enjoy the fresh new year too!
