yarn bomb

2013-04-23T09:24:00.000-04:00

On my way to Georgetown last Saturday
I came across this wonderful installation,
along Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn.
Not to miss if you're in town this spring.

About 130 community volunteer knitters and crocheters
from the Washington, DC area met at Artisphere
for five months on Wednesday nights
to create individual pieces for this yarn bomb.
The installation includes more than 1,000 stitched
geometric shapes and native Virginia flora.

cherry blossoms 2013 {Washington, DC}

2013-04-12T17:47:00.000-04:00

the Cherry Blossoms in
Washington reached their peak bloom
last Wednesday, so I grabbed my camera
and spent the whole morning
walking around the Tidal Basin
enjoying this beautiful scenery that only
happens once a year.
The weather was perfect too!!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!!!

2013-04-11T16:49:00.002-04:00

out and about in Floyd

2013-04-07T13:26:00.000-04:00

{spring break holiday}

Beautiful forests,
rolling streams and
abundant wildlife

Floyd, a quaint village and the seat of Floyd County,
is nestled atop a high plateau in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
A charming, rural county that boasts only one stoplight
and no four-lane roads {my kind of place}

2013-03-18T12:28:00.000-04:00

...and how we use it
for quality control
at our studio in Bolivia

measuring tapes are
our best friends
we don't just hang them around our neck
we use them everyday for
almost everything we do
love them and feel empty without them

Meli ironing tops and making sure the measurements are accurate

Knitters helping each other measure a sweater

on every desk

people behind the brand

2013-02-26T13:24:00.003-04:00

she has been with us

for over 8 years

we love her!

on a cold winter morning

2013-02-23T17:03:00.000-04:00

we didn't get any snow
only a few showers
but very cold temperature
that makes me want to stay home,
knit, play and bake

happy weekend

2013-02-22T14:44:00.001-04:00

hope you have a great weekend

it seems we'll get some snow tonight
so we are planning on staying home
taking photos of the new fw13 collection

see you next week!
