INSPIRATION: Milk Thistle Shawlette
- MILK THISTLE SHAWLETTE I heart Google Images. I do about 11 billionty Google Image searches a day for ideas, inspiration, research, and in some cases shopping. It’s a virtual playground for visual people like myself who lead with their eyes in making sense of the world. So when over the summer I had a [...]

Gemma Scarf – New Pattern Release!
Oh joy. Finally. A new pattern out there! This is my Gemma Scarf crochet pattern. I designed this before I left for LA last month, and I just got it out. (I’ve been weighed down, can’t you tell?) I love this scarf though. It’s very pretty and wearable. The yarn, however, not so fun to work with. It was [...]
