Crafting Update (with pattern)

There's nothing like the holiday season to kick my crafting motivation into high gear. I have finished quite a few projects so far. Thought I would share this really cute scarflette I made as a gift. I'm not really an expert on knitting patterns but this is generally what I did:

Using a bulky yarn like Jiffy Quick cast on about 24st. *Knit across turn purl across Repeat from * until it can wrap comfortably around your (or recipients) neck. Then begin moss stitch, for 5 rows. Cast off in moss stitch. Add buttons of your choice!

Enjoy and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Debut 2009

I had the wonderful opportunity of being chosen for a Cotton Incorporated competition called Chairing Styles. I designed the textile print for a fabric that was then used by a fashion designer to create a gown for Barbie and an interior designer who created a chair. We all got to walk the runway with our designs at FIDM's Debut 2009. It was a great experience and I am really proud of my design. Feel free to watch a video of the show on FIDM's website.

Trend Watch: Spring 2010

Keep this shade in mind when looking for items to add to your spring 2010 wardrobe and decor. Its a serene icy blue shade that adds a sense of modern softness. I think its a fresh, clean and crisp shade that's absolutely timeless.
