Crave Worthy: Sea Urchin Poufs
I think I have died and gone to heaven in the ocean. Poufs + sea urchins + yarn = three trends I love blended into one. I don't read a stitch of German, but I might have to sign up for Berlitz just to figure out how to get my hands on one of these Taschide Sea Urchin Poufs.
Tell Mommy: Do You Make or Knit Clothes For Your Children?
A friend of mine has been raving about the assortment of homemade baby hats at a tiny flower and card boutique called Willow and Bloom in Seattle, WA. I was bummed to find the selection isn't available for sale online — although you can order special one-of-a-kind gift baskets for new mommies — but, I was inspired by the designs on the company's website. One hat is shaped like a little Viking helmet and another is a simple cupcake design with hand-sewn "sprinkle" beads.

Do You DIY?
For sure; it's so much fun!
Sometimes, if the inspiration hits me.
Midday Muse: Rogue Knitters Strike Again
Remember when I told you about the woman who knitted sweaters for trees? Seems like someone in my neighborhood was inspired by her work. I found this well-bundled tree outside of a cafe in Berkeley.
Weird Furniture: Luflic in the Round Chair
Luflic, pronounced "loo-flick," is the Old English word for "lovely." Although it's inventive and certainly memorable, I can't say I'd love to sit on the Luflic in the Round chair (inquire for price), which is named after the technique of knitting socks or sleeves. The tubular steel frame that makes its shape is formed in one continuous line that closes in a loop, and thirty feet of crocheted sleeve are required to upholster the entire thing.
That Poor, Defenseless Knitting Needle...
It was forced to make this...outfit. And it even comes with a bellybutton.

The Man of My Dreams!
He has dark hair, he's a musician...and he's crafty?! So what if he might have A.D.D. — he's freaking adorable.
Halloween Knitted Wonder
Yes, this is a hat, but if you threw a Halloween party in your home while wearing it, wouldn't it technically fit into the category of "home accessory"? First I was tempted by Farmer Fox, and now this. I think the universe is trying to tell me to expand my knitting horizons beyond Harry Potter scarves.
Adorable Little Animals
I think I'm going to have to step up my knitting skill set beyond the basic knit one purl two, because Farmer Fox is making me crazy covetous. Parents with a knack for knitting would be well-served to grab one of these patterns, which I found first at Craft:, and are available from Ariadne Knits and the fabulous brain of Montreal designer Jennie Eveleigh Lamond for $4.50 as a PDF download. So.
Yummy Link: Knit Night Cupcakes
Seems like I've got a new adorable cupcake to show you each week. This time it's these Knit Night Cupcakes. As a knitter and baker myself, I find this idea adorable!
