it’s never too hot to knit

instant inspiration

July 29th, 2011

in the south the last thing you think about is knitting a sweater or scarf in the heat of the summer.  the other day, my friend gretchen came by my shop and installed a big sweater on our sign.  this concept makes summer knitting a little more joyous.

this is ornamental purple millet.  these seedheads appeared almost overnight, and are amazingly colored.  next year i will plant more, a whole thicket, with some mexican sunflowers mixed in.

YEE- HAW industries- knoxville

homes and habitats

July 27th, 2011

we recently visited YEE-HAW press.  i can’t tell you how amazing it is.  i have always admired their design work and seeing the space where they make and create blew me away!  the ceilings were lined with letter pressed posters and the front windows were floored with letterpress letters and press plates.  if you are ever in the knoxville area you should try to make a stop to this inspiring studio and shop.  this place is surely a southern gem!
