I am so excited this season to start knitting. I have some projects in mind so I better get started. This photo is from Dottie Angel. I just found this blog and it is full of inspiration. If you need a creative boost and you like all things crafty, then check out Dottie Angel. Time get out those yarn balls, knitting needles and don't forget Ravelry.
Reef Knot a Sidney artist collective is hosting a city wide knitting tag called I Heart Kings Cross. The project was open to all knitters in Sidney and will debut in October. I think this is a great project and would love to see something like this happen in the US. Maybe Ravelry could organize something cool like this or I could just move to Sidney Australia.
Photos as promised!
I'm from Maryland home of the Orioles, Ravens, Ace of Cakes and blue crab. I never thought I would be so proud to see a knitted crab but this guy is really cute! Found on Knitty and they all the directions to make this cool dude. I dare ya to try it!
Wondering what to do this summer? Get those knitting needles out a try something new. Try a new pattern or new technique. These photos have some beautiful sun kissed colors that will surely inspire any knitter. Have fun!
This gown is gorgeous! Hail to the queen! Made by knitwear designer Jemma Sykes. She designed this gown, "Elizabeth", for Butcher Couture. The Elizabeth is made from 100% organic wool and was dyed naturally in soft pink for the "wear it pink" breast cancer fundraiser in October 2007. Any woman would look sweet wearing that dress. If you really want one, you better get those knitting needles out and start purling.
Sandra Backlund is a knit apparel designer that is bad ass. These pics are from her latest collection for fall 2009. This collection is machine made and very intricate. Sandra collaborated with Maglificio Miles (an Italian knitwear manufacturing company) to create this master piece collection. You certainly must check out her website. All of her collections are amazing and inspirational. Her style is so futuristic and robotic which makes the knits look like metal which is very cool. Thumbs up!
This dress is so crazy fun. One of our knit peeps found this little knit number on Found Shit. It's got a lot of personality, right? Now I want a cheeseburger for lunch. Damn it!
