The Pleasure of the Process

I was looking through my sketch books this morning and was blown away at the amount of ideas I have sketched and collected in just a year. I find the very process of coming up with ideas to be just as exciting as seeing the final results knitted up.

This got me to thinking about the notebooks of other designers and after a search on Flickr, I was very pleased to find some designers willing to give us a peek into their sketch books and design process. May you be inspired to pick up your pen and pad and create something new.

Doesn't Every Knitter Deserve. . .

I was on Flickr the other night viewing pictures from Sock Summit 2009, when I came across this gorgeous picture.  This picture was posted by Knit Chick. Even though it is a collection of several knitters' items purchased on day 1 of the Sock Summit, I can't help but drool at the idea of bring home this kind of loot. Seriously, doesn't every knitter deserve to bring home a suitcase filled with all these goodies!

I Bow Down to the Awesomeness that is Chawne

I bow down to the awesomeness that is Chawne.  Above is a picture of her sock drawer full of nothing but hand knitted socks!

Her blog,  http://cauchycomplete.wordpress.com/, is a wonderful treat to read and her photos on Flickr, http://www.flickr.com/photos/cauchycomplete/, made me drool. She is a crafting goddess of the 1st degree! From quilting, to knitting, to crochet - there is nothing this woman touches that doesn't turn to gold. I think I just found out who I want to be when I grow up.
