Anna, is this acceptable?

I came across this while hunting around on the net for knitting patterns and it brought such a smile to my face that I thought I should share it with you all. 'The First Completely Knitted Wedding' by Cast-Off in the UK. The curator of this exhibition 'Ceremony' was none other than the bride herself, Freedie Robins. Everything at the wedding was knitted, from the cameras, to the dress and even the food. Take a look at Gallery 1 & Gallery 2 to appreciate the sheer magnitude. All the knitters and their friends were invited to attend the wedding.

On that note I thought you may like to get knitting your very first completely knitted Christmas with these free patterns, Mini Christmas Stocking, Christmas Tree Ornament and one for the lads a Beer Cozy.


But wait, there's more... this really is the BeDazzler of 'Haute Couture Knitting'. It'll make your day, really! Please scroll right to the bottom...because you get not 1 not 5 not 10 but 150!

Pretty Papers

So I was contemplating christmas this morning and I was thinking gift tags. I love gift tags. Then I found that Basic Grey (the company behind these lovely tags) has plenty of stockists here in Australia. Or, if you are so inclined you could make your own with a hole punch, scissors and your imagination.

We’re only here because I dreamt us up

'We’re only here because I dreamt us up is an international group show curated by Princess Tina founder/designer Beci Orpin. Beci has fetched Sonja Ahlers and Geneviève Castrée - two talented young Canadians artists who have been inspiring her from afar - and has brought them together in Australia to create an exhibition that is girlish but mischievous, innocent but dark, dreamy but grim.'

Edible lace tiles.

I came across these thanks to Oh Joy!, needless to say I was way overjoyed by the prospect of an edible lace tile. It's almost too good to be true...it looks good, I imagine it tastes great and it textile related. What more could a girl want.
They are inspired by Ander Kant (literally meaning ‘other lace’, or ‘other side’) lace pattern concrete tiles. Food designer Katja Gruijters has created these edible tiles in sugar, shortbread, génoise and chocolate.
