Colors of the Past: Vieux Rose, Reseda & Eau de Nil
I was looking for old color names like “Heliotrope” and “Eau de Nil” when I found this lovely little tidbit of history! It’s an add for Filmy Dress Fabrics from a New Zealand newspaper from September 1909. I wish I could order some of these fabrics!

Trousseau Wrap & A Custom-Knitted Wedding
Just a quick note today to let you know that I’ve got a new pattern released (when it rains, it pours!). My dear friend Amanda Jarvis, the manager for Lorna’s Laces, got married back in May, and she had asked me to design and knit her a wedding shawl. Then Lisa Shroyer at Interweave heard [...]
