All Day Long

Love, love, love these images from Veronik Avery's upcoming book, Knitting 24/7. Even with the much-discussed "renaissance" of knitting, there still remains a dearth of patterns that are both interesting to knit and don't look like something my nana would wear. Veronik knows what's up.

Blue Bandit

Some more spring knitting. Sometimes I think knitting is the only thing keeping me sane, though truthfully I'm probably heading toward a sad future in which I suffocate under an avalanche of knitted oddities and am not found until days later in an eternal tangle of yarn.

"I know I survived the hard times by being obsessed," says Sonja Ahlers, and I'm inclined to agree.

Um... yeah. Happy spring!

The yarn is a silk/merino blend from Painted Fleece, pattern is Springtime Bandit by Kate Gagnon Osborn.

Polaroid silk scarves from Phillipe Roucou and M. Cherie.

Knitomatic

For the past few months, I've been dreaming of making a stop-motion film involving knitting. Alas, I've been beat to the punch! (Never mind the fact that I have zero film-making ability.)

This amazing commercial, from Natural Gas Belgium, takes the concept of warming up a house quite literally.

Veyla

Little spring things.
Pattern by ysolda, knit in malabrigo sock yarn.
