Knitting // Annie Larson uses the best color and pattern combinations for her beautiful knit hats.
Crochet // This crochet bobble blanket looks like so much fun to make! All I see is an entire blanket of polka dots. :)
Wishing // These key handle mugs by Gary Birks are so unique. I would definitely cheer up reaching for one of these in the morning.
Style // Noemie's colorful fall look is so sweet. I love the color combination of her dress and tights.
Art // I'm ready to pack my bags and move in to this red treehouse illustrated by The Meadow Lark.
I am inspired by bright colors all year long. Even when the darker browns and reds are more seasonally appropriate, I can't help but gravitate toward the eye-catching oranges and chartreuses. No...not just because chartreuse is fun to say. Because it is. Haha.
Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend. I spent the last few days doing some major stress knitting on the sweater I re-started last week. Stress knitting is surprisingly helpful for two reasons: 1.) It keeps me from thinking about all of the things that I think about all the time. Lately I've had a lot going on so it's nice to take a break and concentrate on knitting instead of everything else. 2.) Apparently stress knitting equals fast knitting because I finished the first sleeve in record time. I also started a new book on Saturday, The House at Riverton by Kate Morton, and I really like it so far. I've been searching for a new book for weeks and I think I finally found a keeper. Even though my English major days are over I'm not any less of a book lover! What are you reading at the moment? I would love to add some more books to my list.
Enjoy the rest of your day! Here's hoping for a good week ahead.
Also, congratulations Kate on winning the Bottega Vintage gift card giveaway! I will be contacting you very soon!
WOW! I LOVE those mugs!!! SO cool!!!!

I see Kate Morton's books often and even though I take note of the pretty covers, I've not yet read one.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I finished reading Attachments, by Rainbow Rowell. Absolutely loved it! Though it's its own story, it reminded me a bit of You've Got Mail: a email-themed love story set in the late 90s. It was so sweet. :) Now I've just started a children's book (I read a lot of those) called Three Times Lucky.

Omg, those mugs are amaaaazing!
ReplyDeleteChartreuse is just nice to say, and a beautiful color too! This book seems pretty interesting and I would wish to knit fast when I'm stressed, congrat for that skill! Just love this post and all those pops of bright colors, thanks for the inspiration! And I just went apple picking last week and I'm getting on an apple potage, so I would surely get inspired by this recipe!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to seem your cardigan when it's finished!
You must read The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy. It's the best I've ever read. There's a review on my blog if you're interested: http://lyckoland.blogg.se/2012/october/just-read-the-god-of-small-things.html
ReplyDeleteOh, and regarding that house, it's already occupied. I moved in the moment I saw it. You can come over for tea thought ;-)
Amazing findings, as always! :) Love the crochet bobble blanket the most! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm reading "The Face: A Natural History" by Daniel McNeill right now. An interesting book and nice to read. :)

Great pics, love the bobble blanket, shame it takes me at least a year to make a blanket as I get distracted! I'm currently reading another Kate Morton called "The Forgotten Garden" its good so far, full of fairy tales, hints of the Secret Garden, I'd recommend it so far x
