Word To Your Mother

Dutch designer Iñiy Sanchez respects her mother.

At least, she respects her Mother Earth.

The proof is in the knitting:

this stunning piece is hand-knit and -embroidered from the yarns and threads of old sweaters, many of which Sanchez herself once wore.

Talk about upcycling!

Sweet Notions

Cooler weather. A return to the kitchen, a return to working with yarn. Picking up projects dropped when the heat came, and hoping to remember where I left off. Mixing flour and butter and eggs, putting batters and doughs into the oven that is warming the kitchen. Beloved pastimes that have no place in the heat are warmly welcomed when cooler airs prevail.

Sugar and Meringue has managed to combine these two delights in the sweetest way (Ha! A pun.). Yarn cupcakes and granny square cookies, button cookies affixed to little cards. They look almost too perfect to eat.
 Almost.
