A cute response

I saw this graffiti tag with a response outside Meet Me At Mikes (Brunswick Street, Fitzroy) and thought it was cute enough to share.

A sneak preview

Here's something new. It's obviously not finished yet... not even close.

A knit and yarn

Cheesy post title, I know, but that pretty much summarizes my evening. Here's a sneak preview, and let's just say I'm a little bit excited about my latest project. Thanks to my stitch 'n bitch girls for being awesome <3

A city I call home

There is so much I love about Melbourne - the people, the food, the markets, the art, the streets... I took this photo around Christmas time last year when I was still living in the city, it wasn't my favourite part of town but had a nice vibe on a warm summers night.

>> My knitting circle is convening tomorrow night so I'll hopefully have some kind of progress to report instead of all these distractions!

A vintage wallpaper

I found this adorning the walls of a cafe a few months ago, and was so inspired I took a photo. I really love these patterns, and found many like it on Second Hand Rose (they're based in New York City, of course).

>> All photos I post are my own. Yes, sometimes I'll be lazy and post things I already had, but these are my moments captured in time. I hope you like them.

A bargain hunter

Market shopping has been successful two weekends in a row! I want to visit St Andrews market soon, but here are the latest purchases closer to home...

Paisley silk scarf ~ $5, Camberwell market
White cable knitted jumped ~ $3, Camberwell market
Vinyl record bowl ~ $12, Rose St Artists market

A sewing machine

This is my new Husqvarna. It's actually an old machine that was handed down to me, but appears to have unlimited sewing potential. I can tell that we are going to be friends.

A fringe

Unfortunately there's no knitting show-and-tell today, but I do have a new fringe! Somewhat inspired by Zooey Deschanel (of Almost Famous, and She & Him, among other things). In other news, I'm picking up my sewing machine tomorrow, which has been in storage for a few years. I'm very excited. Promise I'll keep knitting too.

A recurring dream

If only I lived in New York City... I could wander through Central Park wearing cute mittens every day, not to mention check out the yarns and classes at Gotta Knit! *sigh*

A poem

It's not really a poem, just a sentence put together on my fridge using Magnetic Poetry words (we have the Artist and Rock & Roll kits). Hours of entertainment for house guests. Huge distraction from knitting.
