This is halloween..

I was just looking at booking flights to Switzerland and realised I was looking on Friday the 13th, which got me thinking about Halloween and I remembered this image. I think it needs sharing as its simply lovely. It's from country living magazine, I just love it.

Forms and structure within Knit..

I've recently been working a lot with Form and Structures within knit and weave. I feel like i've found my place in the world of crafts. These are 2 of my hand knitted pieces that I created over about a day and a half. I've worked with increasing, decreasing, stocking stitch, garter stitch, and change of colour. The work looks much clearer presented properly and mounted and I'll get some photos soon. I'd worked with 3D weave work before, such as making things like small baskets and shapes and tried to re-create these through knit. I think knit is seen too much as a flat surface pattern, a jumper or a pretty flower. Why can't knit be outside the box too?

London town..

London.. indulging in the costume part of the V&A that allows you to dress up, spending hours fascinating over the jewellery, the Annie Lennox exhbition, the Grayson Perry exhibition (If it's still on, I advise you all go!!) the saatchi, one of my favorite gallories still showing Richard Wilson 20:50, strawberry beer, spitalfields market, a massive allergic reaction to my friends cat, camden, looking at the archives in Kew Gardens and drawing, lovely pubs, amazing, amazing company, and not much sleep!

Knitting away..

I've recently got back into knitting... I had a little craze whilst at college then gave up! However, now I'm hooked again... I went a little mad and knitting myself a hat and then the boyfriend! His is the first and mine is the second :) If anyone is interested in the pattern ask, it's so easy!
