My (almost finished!) Diadem cowl

When the samples of Diadem first arrived in our office, the thing I remember most was the feeling of being completely in awe of the colors! Immediately, I went into project brainstorming mode: grabbing colors, making notes of pattern possibilities, rearranging color palettes, piling up stitch dictionaries. Diadem in Tourmaline There were just so many good possibilities!

Introducing Lilleknappen!

I'm a huge fan of details, especially when it comes to finishing projects. I like good, proper hems, perfectly coordinated buttons, and fine stitching along a steek. Even more than that, though, I love authentic touches. That's why I'm so thrilled that we're carrying authentic Norwegian pewter buttons and clasps and Swedish cotton ribbons from Lilleknappen! I've been waiting for this day for quite some time, actually. I found Lilleknappen when I was looking for good quality pewter clasps several years ago, and we've finally been able to add their fantastic products to our lineup. That means that the pile of sweaters that have been waiting for trimming can finally be finished! (for two years my favorite Icelandic sweater has been held shut with a safety pin!)

Bringing Nature Home

I'm a huge fan of nature, as I'm sure those of you who have read my other blogs will know! Walking through a sunny field or a lush forest is an experience that I treasure. But during the colder months, it's hard to really enjoy too much of the outdoors before getting chilly. That's why in my latest collection, Hearth and Home, I bring the beauty of nature indoors!
