A preliminary sketch of the Phillip's baby quilt. I was inspired after watching Sleepy Hollow, the quilt on Ichabod Crane's bed was fantastic and exactly the triangle motif I was looking for. Turns out the design is called Japanese Triangles.

Jenny started these dresses and I'm in the process of finishing them. We're both finding the joy in collaborating: she had gotten to a block in working on them and I received a project halfway finished! I love all the fabrics she chose; very girly and youthful yet fresh and classic.

A little eyelet detail added to the bottom of my knitted cardigan in the making. I've finished the body and now I have the collar and sleeves left. I'm amazed at how simple this project is considering how complicated it seems, but the catch is that there's no way to make it go any faster. It's such a manual process and there's nothing you can keep doing when your hands start to hurt.

I also added some ribbing to finish the bottom.

Sonia Rykiel's knitting.
I'm seriously wanting to make a knitted bathing suit. Is that crazy or what?

I'm becoming obsessed with knitwear.

Rodarte's knitting.

My first venture into knitwear. A green cardigan, knitted top-down with raglan sleeves. The coolest part about working this way is you can try it on as you go. I can use some of the fashion skills I learned in college but, creating the fabric while your structuring it to fit on a body is a whole new challenge.

I'm working on my first crochet pillowcase. I love all these various knitted/crochet pillows piled together.

Rachelle Vasquez finally has a website up with pictures of her awesome crochet scarves. I saw her work at the BUST Craftacular last month -- I'm obsessed!
