You too can have Yumph

Desperate for some evening entertainment, I've been watching 1930s movies - for the clothes, the banter, the cars, the nightclubs, the crowd scenes of hundreds of hats and heels and suits and gowns driving big steel cars and ordering drinks for the table. 

Counting Pane

Old picnic tins are great for organizing large blanket projects like our current "Counting Pane" from Wooly Thoughts. Inside we have yarn and three sets of needles. On the lid we keep scissors and darning needles and a picture of the blanket. We are using the same colors as the Montessori bead chains.

Blanket-inspired clothing

The Financial Times featured some of the blanket-inspired clothing at London's Fashion Week.  I like the quote by Christopher Kane, "I've seen girls wearing crochet who look pretty hot."
