HOUSE SWEATERS









LES PULLS MAISON
Knitting is for those who have time to kill, they say. It is for the idle hands of sweet grandmothers, for do-it-yourself-ers, for the happy few who have nothing better to do than to produce afghan blankets and cute doilies in time for Xmas.
I say fiddlesticks! It takes discipline- lots of discipline- and planning. It requires patience and focus. It can be as repetitive or as challenging as you wish, it's all up to you. It also requires TONS of creativity. I would say that defines design, wouldn't you?

And if you don't believe me look at what the interior design community has come up with lately.

Now I ask you: 
Is this just a past time or is it a creative medium in its own right?


au revoir.

  2. So cozy! There is something about the texture that just adds a level of sumptuous.
