It's officially "back to school weather" which means time to buy coats, knits and lots of chunky scarves. I would like this lovely Miu Miunumber thank you please...
It's all about knitting it yourself this season...
Or crocheting for that matter. From Christopher Kane's cashmere creations to House of Holland's bright photographic prints, it seems granny squares are having their moment.
Personally I've had many failed attempts at knitting and crochet (the hat that ended up the size of a fruit bowl was a particular favourite of mine). I'm thinking maybe a few classes would be fun, just so I could actually make use of all of the pretty yarn I've bought and abandoned in the past.
Every couple of years I treat myself to a special item (is it referred to as an "investment piece" in the fashion world?) as a work reward. I haven't been able to take on as much work as I hoped this year because of not being too well but fingers crossed it'll still be around next year. Then again, retail therapy might be a good form of medicine at the moment!
Hmmm. I don't know whether it works for me but I'm still in a creative slump and trying to experiment as much as possible. There's nothing more frustrating than not being able to express what you want to do (or even know what it is that you want to do in the first place).
I liken it to not being able to recall a word or name when it's on the tip of your tongue. I know there's something I should be doing with myself at the moment, I just can't quite get there.
Originally I'd planned a nice sunny post after the wonderful weather yesterday. But today, that big shiny thing in the sky has retreated (what was that again? Someone remind me) and been replaced with grey drizzle. Still, it's provided a bit of inspiration if nothing else.
