We (me and litte i) spent WWKIP Day (World Wide Knit in Public Day) with the Stockholm Knitters at Maria torget and Marias Garn, and had a wonderful time. I did, unfortunately, not get a chance to take any photos. Maria and Catrin were more mindful and you can find some picture proof over at Marias Garnhändelser or Everyday Life.

Palpable as silk and cotton

June 5, 2008 at 11:07 am · Filed under eco, links, knitting

A pile of silky and cottony softness. I find myself simply fondling my knitting needles all wrapped up with lustruous white silk or humble soft cotton. It is comforting just to hold it in my hands. The pile of white medallions for Norah Gaughans “Medallion Shawl” seems to slowly grow by itself. It is almost like falling in love with knitting for the first time again. There has to be fifteen medallions before I can sew them toghether and I am halfway there.

 I need to share a few inspiational links, that I  stumbled upon while planning and dreaming about the interior of our new house.

Gudrun Sjödén is a Swedish designer with a wonderfully creative fabric collection. Follow the link to Home Spring 2008 from the startpage. Her blankets, rugs and bedspreads are so happy.

At HAPPYsthlm I found jewellry and fabric  themed “vegetation” which really appeals to me. I hope to see a lot more from them with inspiration from nature.

Hope you are having a good week!
