Lookville.com - New Site!

Bella from lookville.com just contacted me through this blog and first of all gave me a bit of flattery (always nice!!) saying "Just visited your "Come Watch Me Knit!" blog and I was super impressed by its design and content". She then wanted to tell me a bit about her new website. It's a "place for people to have discussions, share tips, and ask questions about fashion" which sounds pretty cool...Might check it out!! :)

I'm Loving Twinkie Chan!

So when i was chatting to Emme Lou, she asked me what I like to knit, and I told her I was getting into knitting food...it's not unusual for me to make the odd cheese sandwich (although- I've never posted a photo on here, as the end result doesn't really resemble what it's meant to be!) Nevertheless, I keep on trying! So Emme Lou said I might be interested in Twinkie Chan...an amazing designer who makes all things related to food....how could I not love her! So I just checked out her website and she is fabulous! Food and knitting...it's a winning combination!!! www.twinkiechan.com

Emme Lou - An Amazing Designer!

I'm pleased to say I met an amazing designer called Emme Lou. She makes the most gorgeous crocheted accessories and fabulous cushions from one-off vintage fabric and pays such attention to detail. Here's her folksy shop: http://www.folksy.com/shops/emmelou
You can also get hold of her items in a brand new lifestyle boutique in St Ives, Cornwall called Birds of a Feather. I'll be posting photos soon!

I told you I had a hairband-making addiction!

Look at all of these!! I hang my head in shame---and this isn't even the half of it- seriously!!!!! I have about 100 more hairbands that I've made- everywhere I turn, there's another hairband! I've gotta stop!

Thank you for my cushion Ching Wai!

Wowsers- look what came in the post for me all the way from Australia! This cushion was lovingly shoved into a cube shaped cardboard box and was made for me by my amazing friend- Ching Wai! She said that the colour of the fabric and the pompoms reminded her of me and she had to make me a cushion!! It's sooooo nice- I love it! And Gloomy Bear and Hello Kitty love it too!! Love, love, love!!!

It's been a while....

Wow- I haven't updated this blog in ages! And I feel really bad! but to be honest, not much has happened since I last posted. I haven't been feeling that creative, so I started a few projects, but never really finished them!
Craft-wise...I've been in contact with a lady who would like to do some craft workshops throughout Cornwall, making recycled loveliness so we might meet up and do a few of those in the coming months. Also, I'll be doing a few craft workshops soon with a small group of agoraphobic individuals. So that's a really nice thing to do!
The bad news is...My boyfriend hates my ginormous crocheted blanket and made me take it off the sofa (needless to say, we're not living together anymore!) HAHA!
I'll try and post again soon if I can get off my bum and actually make something!!! xxx

Woah...Expensive Crocheted Dress, But NICE NICE NICE :D

My friend in Australia e-mailed me today saying that she was in a coffee shop and saw this in October's Marie Claire. It's a crocheted dress made up of granny squares by a brand called Romance, and costs $3600 Aus!!! Oh. My. God...That is a lot for some granny squares, but it is nice! It's so cute and shabby chic, and I think the photo was taken in London using Chanel model Edyta Zajac, who makes any item of clothing look cool! This picture has inspired me to make some weird and wonderful equivalent, although I don't know if I could ever wear it and get away with it unfortunately :( Although Halloween is coming up soon! *Sigh*...x
