Soft punch
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under embroidery, textile stuff that normally are not textile
Some years ago it was hard to ”make some noise” with textile in Sweden. During my Art University years we were a tiny group who worked alone. I am so happy that has changed now! It’s the comeback of textile – and ”with a vengeance” :-) I love it!
Velvet boxing-glovers with traditional Swedish folklore embroidery. The stitch is from the province of Blekinge called Blekingestitch (Blekingesöm).
A project for a nightowl – crocheted wallpaper
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under Crochet, textile stuff that normally are not textile
I adore bright colored patterns (and I like to mix them). In the back you see my beloved bedroom wallpaper. A flea market find from Amsterdam. It’s a vintage kitchen wallpaper, presumably from the 60′s or 70′s. It is my favorit pattern of all. Suddenly I thougt it looked little like a crocheted old-fashioned beadspread – and then that night was spoiled:-) I had to make a test. Traced it and made a sketch, found the right colored yarn in my boxes and started to crochet after the traced flowers.

Birthday gifts for a craftLover

Look at my wonderful birthday gifts from friends and family! I love the crochet cuckoo clock! It’s from Amsterdam. Some of the books I got is from YesAsia.com which I can recommend. It’s safe and fast to order – it only took a week from HongKong to Sweden.
A box filled with yarn! What more can a girl want ?
