While I’m partial to Dash and Albert for their sturdiness and cost-effective pricing I also love Madeline Weinrib’s rugs for their design and durability too. My friends Samantha and Leah have several of the pink Brooke rug in their apartment and it’s elegant while not being too loud for their space. As a huge fan […]

Another reminder I got today from Kate Pruitt – was on Bauke Knottnerus – not a name that stuck in my mind without force! Bauke is a Dutch artist who creates oversized knit works that show the artist’s hand, strings remain untrimmed and the like in his Phat Knits series. From the looks of the […]

I think that Kate Pruitt and I have a similar fascination with oversized, odd knit items. Today, while reading her blog, I was again exposed to Christien Meindertsma whose site I had once stumbled upon before I was so quick to bookmark everything. Christien actually makes an item called the Urchin Pouf, which, just as […]

I was reading Elle Decor at the gym yesterday and came across this beautiful rug company they were highlighting, Fort Street Studio. I love that they use the look of watercolors in their rugs – would alleviate spill guilt…not at all. It just looks like a wine ring! Stripe’s Edge – very cool. Beautiful colors […]

When I got involved in my crochet work last Fall my store of record was Purl Soho – it’s right by my office and is very inviting. The clerks help you pick the best yarn for your project, make sure you have the right tools, and will roll your yarn into a ball for you. […]

I stumbled upon the Etsy store, Kjoo, by Maria Joao Ribeiro and was blown away by the creations of this Portugal-based artist. She incorporates many of my favorite things: felt, crochet, amorphous design, and […]

In New York there’s a rule that a certain percentage of your hardwood floors must be covered in rugs when you live in an apartment building to manage the noise. I brought many thick carpets when I moved in but they were hard to keep clean and they added no personality. I got new rugs […]

I must admit I’ve been coveting one of Yokoo’s pieces for months now and haven’t had the courage to purchase – as you can see, they’re HUGE! In keeping with my fascination with all things knit, when I saw Yokoo’s Etsy store I had to tell everyone I met. I have no idea how she […]

During my epic plane ride and blog catching up I also came across another artist who I find inspirational, Kwangho Lee. As I’ve been delving further and further into felting, knitting and crochet the idea of using new materials is one that has crossed my mind. Never did I think to use solid rubber electrical […]

Every few months in college I thought I’d embroider a belt for a boyfriend. It never happened but I’ve always been a fan of the look! I never bought them because they’re so expensive and, when I last looked, buying the materials to make your own was, ironically, even pricier. Enter Tucker Blair, a great […]
