Stitch. Read. Covet. Blog.


Stitch: Another rainy day and the beginning of Autumn have me thinking about woolens for Winter. I do like this cowl, both pattern and colour. I'm yet to knit a cowl...

Man Reading, John Singer Sargent

 Read: Readers have long made wonderful subject matter for artists. A quick google image search is quite revealing. There is a romance about these images. I can't help but wonder if modern artists will document our current relationship to reading, using technology like laptops and e-readers instead of paper, as artists in the past have? And will they have any of the romance of those beautiful old paintings?
Covet: As a fan of both polaroids and Instagram these yet to be released cameras make me feel a bit wanty.


Blog: I've long been a follower of handmade romance and I love seeing Evie's wonderful and varied creations. From bearded men brooches to kitty cushions, circus dolls and hand drawn porcelain pins, Evie has a wonderful aesthetic all her own and creates items that will be cherished. Her photographs and illustrations are eye candy indeed. She has also recently completed a month of illustrations.

  1. I really like cowls too although haven't made one before either. I like the colour and stitch of the one you've chosen, very cosy and perfect for Autumn. At the moment I would love to stitch myself this scarf http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bramble-stitch-scarf-2 but I'm already crocheting up a shawl so I better keep going with that. My favourite blog at the moment is Steph's This Brown Wren, I love stopping by to see what she is creating, always inspiring. Hope you are keeping warm and dry at the moment the rain is relentless at the moment. x

  2. I just pinned that cowl...for my mother to knit for me...or maybe I can get started under her supervision when I am at home in June...I haven't knit in years so I think I will need some help!

    Those cameras are going on my want list too!

    And how about this rain?
    Thank goodness today is Saturday and I don't have anything to do but drink tea, bake and play cars with Toddler C!

  4. Lovely cowl, do you have a link for the pattern.
    I test knit a cowl late last year which I loved. I gave it away as a Christmas present but I think I should knit one for myself for Winter.
