P.S The sneak peek wrist warmers in the last post won't be available in my store for a little while longer as they are currently whisking their way to a potential stockist for them to have a look at. Exciting!

Sneak Peek

I have been working on some treats for my Etsy and Folksy stores.  I have gone in a new direction to the big chunky knits of previous years due to the high street being over loaded with cheap (crap) versions.  Here is a sneaky peak of a couple of things that will be on offer.

Coming soon to Oh Knit!

This weeks inspiration.

Keeping me inspired this week..........


Proenza Schouler Presents "Snowballs" by Harmony Korine

If you are familiar with Harmony Korine's work then you will probably be a lot less disturbed by the video than if you are not.

I am very keen to own the first printed edition of Blanket Magazine.   

"The Blanket print edition is a compendium of ideas, knowledge and experience pertaining to the creative process of art, design and photography. The content has been carefully considered and curated to include everything you love about Blanket: features, projects, profiles and, of course, beautiful art, design and photography!" 

 Pumpkinrot, Fuelling my obsession with Halloween.

What is not inspiring me is that Primark have started selling cowls that are very very similar to the ones I have sold on Oh Knit! for the last couple of years. Obviously theirs aren't wool  and they will last you all of 5 minutes but they are a fraction of the cost of mine and I couldn't even try and compete with that.  So I am thinking of taking Oh Knit! in a bit of a different direction.   It's a huge inconvenience. I hate you Primark! :(

Ulyana Sergeenko

Ulyana Sergeenko, a Russian photographer turned fashion designer's first collection is perfect and i am totally in love, which is not surprising considering the beautiful 1940's aesthetic. Always a winner for me. The styling and photography is incredible too.

 

 

Believe it or not, this is actually only a tiny selection of the full collection.  You can see the rest here

Haunted Air

A book by Ossian Brown, featuring his collection of anonymous Halloween photographs with foreword David Lynch and afterword by Geoff Cox. Oh how I need to own this book!

 

I think I want this book more than I have ever wanted any book and I want books an awful lot.
