Extreme Knitting

Oops, second inspiration video in a row. This is pretty interesting though. Knitting with 1000 strands, totally an exercise in extremes.

It really is a wonder what our society throws away.

Four Mondays....

There are four more mondays until Christmas. That's serious knitting and shopping time folks. What's your plan this year? Can I suggest this year that you think about where your shopping money is going? Check out these stats from 350.org



Stop by and check out what other people are doing on Buy Handmade. Take the pledge.

Or check out Etsy. I have a shop there but don't stick to just that. There are SO many cool things, I'm sure you can find something.

Seriously

The world needs more beauty, more acts of rebellion, more acts of fun.... what have you done today to make your neighbours wonder?

I'm slacking a bit and sitting with my feet up, surfing the web and I came across this.

Wow, I'm not usually one to gush over a white dress but when it's done this well and with so much thought behind it, it's worth gushing over.
