I read this article on the Guardian fashion blog about a group of knitting grannies, who knit articles for Danish designers that are sold in limited numbers in shops in Denmark. I thought it was a wonderful idea. How lovely for these ladies to be able to put their skills to good use. The [...] Do you know what that is? I didn’t until I read about the graffiti knitters in London on the Guardian today. Then I went over to Knit the City and found out what it is all about: Yarnstorming: the art of enhancing a public place or object with graffiti knitting Right now we need [...] What a coincidence – today I was reading the September issue of Harvard Business Review when the Spotlight Artist caught my eye.

BTW be sure to click on the Tour our Store link on their website [...] As I wrote in my last post I am currently taking a class at Quilt University with Elizabeth Barton called Inspired to Design. The first two weeks we have been doing lots of exercises to generate designs. Some of them are ideas I’ve read about before, but never gone as far as actually experimenting [...] We are one week into the new year and I’ve not written anything on my blog yet. I’m not about to list the goals I achieved last year or list my new year’s resolutions for this year. I don’t believe doing the one or the other. I know many people say that it helps [...] |
