last days of summer...

so long summer...i will miss biking, swimming, picnics, knitting outside...

lately... instagram ed.

lately..., i've been instagramming, nothing exciting, just the usual,(admittedly i'm rather addicted to this lazy obsession of mine) it is family antics, knitting, my ol man's art, & cats ... please add me, if you wanna...(i offer random shop  updates/sneak peeks & discount codes very often too).

instagram, my apologies...

my apoligies, to those who may already be annoyed by my over zealous instagrams in my first few days,
(i remember that feeling, but now i am addicted too!) i promise i am more restrained.  

**also, the gnd: modern & minimalist knitting pattens book is ready to post immediately.
please act fast, half of the books i ordered to print, sold during the pre-sale orders.
 as well, special packaging may be limited if they sell out quickly again, sorry for that.

floating in a swimming pool somewhere...

in case you were curious, i've been spending a lot of what time i can either knitting/designing for an upcoming photo shoot/lookbook or floating in a concrete pool (now that my tattoo has finally healed) . we move in less than a few weeks & will miss our apartment pool immensely so any chance we have to beat all this insane heat we've been in the water. i've never been so tanned or rather burnt &  freckled (just because its 60 spf doesn't mean it is waterproof).

unfinished drawings

i met jasonlee when i was 21 & he was 19, i was fascinated to discover that he was a secret drawer (as well, a secret avid reader too-i suppose these sorts of activities were embarrassing to him, & instead i was immensely sucked in). although it drives him crazy,i have started to document some photos of new pieces he is working on for an upcoming solo show in less than a couple months. jasonlee is a purist to me, using merely pencils, coloured pencil crayons on paper, that is it. no tricks of the trade, he has never used charts, no graphs, no overheads, no tracing paper, no photo composites, no computer tricks, no tracing ever, its pretty insane indeed. it is always astonishing to me the level of criticism he feels towards his work, & many of these drawings are probably never going to be seen again (good thing i keep my blog on the down low around here too).

just recently

always miss living in toronto still & visiting is bittersweet, 

we spent a recent afternoon in the city on errands.

weekend of friends, family, wine & food

although its another mundane monday & back to knitting & my worries, a headache (& enid on the couch home sick from school)... i had a weekend that was just what included everything i've been craving  & needed, old friends, family,  food, & wine. all photos c/o jlee, she has this way of capturing an image before you even realize she's taken out her camera.

although, its pretty much winter cold weather here, i still have a hard time giving up iced coffees & not wearing socks. well at least the simcoe braided headband (in nude) is keeping me warm, really hurry if you want to get your hands on one of these (the cashmere/merino wool is very limited & i just can't get my hands on it anymore & the grey is already sold out).
