Knitting

During our summer holiday we drove from Westport to Karamea on the western coast of the South Island and our car overheated – while Tom was collecting water from a stream I stopped to capture the lush green of the native bush and mist. It was such a beautiful place, so damp and cool with birds calling out to each other from the treetops.

Also pictured above: a knitting project that is nearly finished. It will be a gift and I've used merino, possum, alpaca and other yarns to make it. 

+ + For inspirational purposes, go to Pinterest and search for 'mina perhonen'– it makes me want to drop everything and become a fabric designer. I mean, look at this for example!

+ + And this is another beautiful thing I found recently: Bògòlanfini mudcloth from Mali.

    We did that drive too. Between Westport and Karamea is definitely my favourite part of the west coast. So much history and beauty. Aren’t we lucky to live here?
