New Obsession

I'm totally smitten with knitting. I don't know what happened, it just came from nowhere.
About a week ago I was sitting at my table working on my Spring collection when I realized the collection needed something else. My latest collection is a real artsy homemade mix of t shirt dresses, jumpers and tunics in fun colors and tie dye. I wanted to create pieces that just feel right, no effort no pretense.
To me knits really personify that attitude. Knit fabrics can be molded into soo many shapes and worn with soo many different garments. So I set out to make lil sweaters to marry my adorable t shirt dresses.

And now here I am with a plethora of knitting needles, a brand new knitting machine and a ton of books. I wonder where this new obsession will take me.........

Unrelated to fashion but essential

Make November 4Th an important day in your life.
Who cares who you vote for, but vote.
Be heard.
Vote because it's a privilege that we live in America and not a country like Zimbabwe were you'll face negative consequences for voting.
Remember that your not powerless.................

Fashion Russh

So on a spur of the moment trip out of the house I decided to visit my local Barnes & Noble. I scored the last copy of a very illusive magazine called Russh.......
(Russh is a bi-monthly mag out of Australia and its sometimes challenging getting a copy.)
It's a good mix of straight up fashion with behind the scenes pics from Fashion week, gorgeous fashion layouts and interesting articles to read. I like finding out about who the up & coming designers in Australia are but the cool thing is that International fashion is also spotlighted.

Reading it is like belonging to a secret fashion cult.

Delicious

A year ago I was surfing Etsy and I came across these stuffed animals that were knitted/crocheted.
They all had the word Amigurumi in the tags/title so I googled it. So innocent, sublime and sweet. I've been obsessed with these adorable little crocheted creations ever since.

Check out one of my favorite Etsy sellers:
