Hello 2016! 2015 was great, but 2016 will be better. Why not explore the year in a new pair of shoes?!?

Ready to explore 2016 in a new pair of shoes? I am!

As an avid knitter, I am always finding ways to add knitted things to my art. Many of you will remember my “Yarnbombed Postcards” from a few months back. Well, I have been busy making more and have finally added them to my shop. Maybe you want to travel to Washington DC? Or the Grand Canyon? Or Beautiful Florida? Well now you can, and get a nice giggle while you’re at it! They make great gifts, or keep them for yourself in a nice frame at home or in the office.

And also, I am constantly looking for more cards, so if there is a location you want to see, or if you have cards you want me to bomb, please contact me and I am sure we can make it work!

It’s been a while since I have made new things for the shop, but I have been keeping busy. And this coming month I will be relocating to a new apartment! As I prepare to move apartments I have decided that I need to clear out some inventory. What better way than to offer FREE THINGS!

As an artist, I am constantly finding new ways to represent the knitted form in a creative way. Recently, I worked on a collaborative mural project and was lucky enough to have some great inspiration. Part of the mural was a cityscape and I decided it needed a “yarn bomb” behind it. Upon completion I realized that I could do the same thing on a smaller scale and hunted around for some vintage postcards to experiment with.

If you’re a knitter, or just like funky things, than these are for you. Vintage postcards that I have “Yarn Bombed” with various painted ropes and balls. The whole idea is that when you look at the cards, you see something is off, not right, or even just silly. Stratigically placing my painted motifs within the pre-defined landscape, the once old imagery begins to come to life.

Perfect as a humorous gift or to keep for yourself, you are sure to smile every time you look at these images.

Love to knit? Love showing off your passion for knitting to the world? Love cute and comfy shoes?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, this item is for you!

This past summer a friend of mine introduced me to the idea of making dyed canvas shoes. I decided I NEEDED a pair with knit stitches on it, since so much of my life revolves around knitting. These photos are of that pair, and let me say they are super comfy and have held up very well.

I have been wearing my special shoes to various knit themed events and everyone is always in awe of them. So much that I finally decided to offer them to other knitters like myself, completely custom made for you! You pick your size and color and I do the dying and drawing! The end result is something I know you will love wearing again and again!

Stay tuned because I plan to start making more items with knit stitches drawn on them – It’s so much fun!
