Research and Development

Although I am already backlogged into kingdom come, I can't resist doing some design development. Right now I've been working primarily with accessories, and scarves and armwarmers have been flying off the proverbial shelf! Thank you to all my customers for keeping me in business!

I feel awful that I can't credit my source of inspiration, but yesterday I was surfing the blogosphere and came across a woman who was knitting a scarf for her favorite band, Tyr (yeah viking metal!). The whole viking/norse thing stuck in my mind, and I decided I wanted to do a folk motif for my next project development, and what I came up with was a pair of armwarmers donning this heart-shaped motif (you can find these in Brittany metalwork as well, sometimes made from horse-shoe nails).

...and the guts. I'm working on the second one of the pair right now, and then I promise I'll come running back to all the orders I've got backlogged! I'll also post a pretty hand-model image when I'm done knitting the second one.

For questions or order information, contact me at sweet-avocado@hotmail.com.

Thanks!
