The Babies

Last night we saw a great band "The Babies".  They are a dude from Woods and a girl from Vivian Girls.  Word.

Vanessa Bruno

Totally obsessed with these Vanessa Bruno sweaters.  So much going on, but totally unified.  Nice.

New Sweater: Take it Slow

Today I'm a little aimless in my projects. Not really working on anything in particular. I made a few swatches that I could maybe design a sweater from. Here's a few inspiration photos for a new sweater. It does feel a little liberating to take it slow.

Halloweens

Just some photos from Halloween weekend 2012

Coolest Yarn Ever

I found this stuff today during a knitting emergency at the local yarn store. Holy crap, it's awesome.

Neon Dip

Working on this project this morning.  My bathroom, my studio.

I know I've obsessed over "Coraline" long enough, but this is so worth sharing.

Sunday Funday

Sorry I've been a bit absent lately!  The fall has been somewhat busy, but I do have to admit that I've been lazy on the blogging front.  This week I travelled to NYC for work, so I was looking forward to a simple quiet weekend.  Some highlights included going to the Turf Club last night to see one of my favorite bands, Woods.  They put on a great show, and I got their new record "Bend Beyond", which I can't stop listening to.

I also made a run to the store to pick up some supplies for a special mitten kit request, and some more white roving yarn for my next contribution to Ship and Shape.  Stay tuned!

Tonight I'm enjoying reading some zines I picked up a few weeks ago at Minneapolis' "Zine Fest".  My favorites are Jessica Campbell's "My Sincerest Apologies" and Flat Mountain Press' "Flat Mountain Chronicle, vol. 2."

 

Béatrice Coron

Last night Dylan and I watched this amazing Ted Talks with Béatrice Coron.  In her work, she simplifies her experience of the world into such an understandable way. Enjoy.
