"if you're bored because your life doesn't have any significant moments,
 -create the significant moments"



i got this funny idea the other day, i wanted to make a print-transfer to a pillow case. the print was from my 5x5 cm's of fame in the norwegian elle decoration from the march issue this year. i wrote about it here. so this is how it turned out ...on a linen cushion case. a very nice memory ...as i am considering changing my blog address... during fall/winter.


anyway, next to the pillow is my ongoing knitting project, a large blanket -stuffed into my beloved leather tote bag


now;

weeekeeend


...which means free shipping on all orders from my cherry blossom shop 
-until midnight tonight

september is soon to arrive
finally, -autumn


practicing the herringbone* stitch these days
some wonderful hand dyed yarn is on it's way

it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish

fail-safe knitting









i know knitting patterns can be completely non understandable at times...or even all the time. 

so...

i was so happy when i came across nikki gabriels knitting construction kits, they look pretty fail-safe to me


"a manual on how to knit basic shapes, and construct multiple garments by assemblage"


oh, i really like the bolero, ... perhaps a fail-safe knitting project for me this autumn...? 


what could possibly go wrong?


check out nikki gabriels blog and shop for more constructions, yarn and knitting needles





knitting








"properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit, either"  
                                                                                                                                                          -Elizabeth Zimmerman 




it's beginning to feel a bit like autumn, and that certainly cause for some knitting inspiration


...and yokoo inspires me endlessly


you have to watch yokoo's handmade portrait on etsy, and check out her flickr for even more knitting inspiration
