the feel good yarn company posted an interview with me today.
i designed kinston, carrboro, and asheville with their silverspun yarn
that actually has real silver in the mix.
and, pssst:
want to know my favorite color (don’t judge)? that’s one of the questions they asked me.
one day i
saw this great pic
(i think it was on etsy)
of crochet fingerless gloves.
what caught my eye was the horizontal thumb holes.
the thought that an elogated buttonhole could work for a thumb,
led me to leap onto an entirely different train of thought.
it meant sleekness (which i love).
it meant that a stitch pattern could be uninterrupted (which i love).
it meant no fussy shaping for a knitter to get bogged down in (which i love).
all that was holding me back from knitting some up
was the matter of how to not lose
the elegance of the simplicity
when adding curves,
because loose, ill-fitting gloves
i really don’t love.
the lycra in the mix of silverspun
easily solved that lingering dilemma.
so i sketched (albeit badly)
and swatched,
and submitted
and waited
and thanks to feel good yarn company,
the look book for the full ‘simply silver’ collection can be found here.
