# 3 - Friends in a Faraway Place We all have our reasons for finding our way to a faraway place. Sometimes we are simply born there, and other times we follow an inkling or follow a friend, for fun, for a job, or both. Sometimes it is for a long while, and sometimes it may just be for a week or two. Regardless of th

The First Tap This past fall, October 2014, I had a wonderful journey to the Shetland Islands for Shetland Wool Week, a week long celebration of the legacy of Shetland sheep and fiber arts. When I first entered the arts center, where registration was taking place, there was a great exhibit on display of Scottish Gan

DIT IS EEN DIGITALE PATROON, GEEN FYSIEKE OBJECT. Dit patroon is een op maat gemaakte, stap-voor-stap handleiding voor het maken van uw eigen coquettetopje! HET VEREIST ZOWEL BREIEN ALS HAKEN, meestal breien, maar haken om de randen af te werken. Deze gids biedt aanpassingsopties voor de mouwlengte en het type, evenals drie verschillende borstlijnvariaties (eenvoudig, geribbeld en gegolfd). Er is ook een uitgebreide galerij met coquette-topjes waar je aan het einde van het patroon doorheen kunt bladeren, zodat je inspiratie kunt opdoen voordat je je eigen topjes maakt! Zoals altijd hartelijk dank voor uw steun. Aarzel niet om mij hier of op ig @beauumeadow een bericht te sturen als je vragen hebt! Ik zou graag jouw versies willen zien. Nogmaals bedankt <3
#4 a spin of the wheel and a pat on the back The reality of my time in Shetland for Wool Week is that basically I had just signed up and so I showed up. I was too busy with life to really take time to figure things out too much beforehand, and so everything was an adventure and a surprise, and I was open to whatever
There is a wonderful quality to paintings on raw wood Swedish painter Lena Karlsson's works on scraps of wood and she often incorporates the knots into her compositions. Lena's paintings are raw, primitive in style and very graffiti like.
I noticed the other day that I have quite a stash of "famous knitter" photos, so here they all are in that wonderful odd-coupling you sometimes get with an otherwise random bunch of people connected only by one thing. First...
Celebrate summer with this easy felt sun pendant. Simple enough for kids to do, this handicraft is a great way to practice sewing and honor the season with a beautiful decoration.
Hmmm. Looks like I’m going to have to dress a bit fancier when I knit from now on! Looks like a sweater she’s working on. Another sweater? Maybe it’s a UFO.

Tennessee-based Holly Chastain’s collages are little gems. When I first found them on Pinterest it was like discovering a beloved novel as a first…
Okay, so I love black and white photography. I find that surprising because I am such a color fanatic, but it's true. Something about the light and shading that completely captures my eye. The photos show emotion so well with the lack of color. And older photos can get me to thinking....I almost climb into the photo. One of my favorites is French photographer, Jacques Henri Lartigue, because it feels like one can discover humor, love, and live in his stories. I can just imagine the back story. I digress! I thought it would be fun to share some photos of crafting. I'm going to add some captions but do take time to venture in to these photos as well. Did you see the net repair photo? Our fiber arts tradition began with fishermen! Fiber arts are a huge part of our lives today but it's fun to consider the past through these photos! Happy Knitter 1. This one cracks me up as it looks very contrived. Perhaps a cover for a catalog at one time? I certainly love my knitting but rarely dress for the occasion and never sit in a straight back chair! I Think I Dropped a Stitch 2. Okay, so this is not a photo. I love this painting of the Monk Knitting by Lytras Nikiphoros. This looks like the knit project may be done, but certainly the monk is deep in thought. You know how we inspect our handwork! Bottom's Up 3. Fiber arts are such a broad craft area. This Haidi woman of Massat is weaving a basket. Look closely as this work requires great detail. Note the carving in the background. What an amazing photo! Looking for a simple basket idea? We've got you covered! We Love Unique! 4. Yep, we are all about creativity, unique fibers, and creating happiness! The stilt shepherds of Landes, in southwest France, were able to care for their sheep in marsh, scrub, and boggy lands because of their stilts. This fellow is working with wool while on his stilts! Talk about multi-tasking! Hooked 5. Crochet was absolutely a past-time for royalty such as Alexandra Petrovna- Grand Duchess of Russia. Note her head-wear and adornments are crochet projects that many of us don't know of today! While times have changes, it's exciting to know that what brings us joy has been around for quite some time! The World Keeps Spinning 6. Spinning is something I would love to learn and is on my crafting list! Being an amateur weaver, spinning seems like a logical progression. I'd love to grab some of our Pulled Silk Fiber and sit right down with these ladies. Imagine the knowledge these ladies could share with us! Off the Grid 7. This old photograph cracks me up. Mixed media art is definitely the theme of class today. Students have their yarn and their canvas-looks like some type of needle work? For me, I would much prefer a cross stitch kit from Darn Good Yarn! Sew What? 8. Some of us remember home ec class in school. I have vivid memories of struggling through the sewing portion of that class and the hot pink, wide wale, corduroy jumper that I made. Yuck! Sewing surely has come a long way, baby! Whatever your craft, we love supporting your creativity. It's fun to look at historical photos to put our traditions in perspective. One of our goals for this year is to create happiness so please ask the Darn Good Yarn team if you need support or have a question!
Queen Victoria at a spinning wheel made and donated by James McCreery, Belfast, Ireland. Photographed by Hills and Saunders of Eton and Oxford. A slightly different pose. A carte-de-visite probably sold as a souvenir. A trade card given out by a linen manufacturer in the 1890s.
