How About Some Inspiration


I love the uniqueness of this sweater, the unusual textures going on and the visual interest that keeps you wanting to look at it.

Are you familiar with freeform knitting? Freeform is just like it sounds, freely knitting and/or crocheting small patches or "scrumbles"(as they are sometimes called) which are later joined together into an organic masterpiece. Check this out by Prudence Mapstone.

This yarn by Tereza Havrdova from her etsy shop inspires me.


And lastly, although there is so much beauty out there I could choose from it is overwhelming and hard to choose, but this vignette of lovely crochet work from gipsy bazar really talks to me.

Bulky Knitting

I am fascinated with bulky knitting. I guess I just love the big texture that is so out there and so interesting. I am seeing it a lot these days it seems - in furniture, accessories, etc.


These stools from here are so fun! They are very organic looking, very tactile.


Love these blankets, I just want to wrap myself up in them and the color!


Would love to make this!


And this.


I am dying to get this natural organic merino bulky wool I bought recently at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival onto my needles for a swatch. The great thing about bulky knitting is it goes fast. You can get whatever project you are working on done in no time.

Let me know what you are making in a bulky yarn. It is almost Fall afterall. Send me some pictures, I would love to see what you all are doing out there!

Happy Thursday.
