Fashion using cords and knitting are part of the signature of this british designer, here you can see more of his work, and here. They remind me of the trims and fringes sofas used to have. Ideal to customise other items.

Bucles y cordones en ocasiones utilizando tecnicas de punto han sido la base de los modelos de este diseñador britanico . Aqui su coleccion otoño/invierno 2011, otros aqui. Genial para personalizar otras prendas. Ahora que me fijo, no parecen los bucles esos pasameria de la que llevan los sofas antiguos encima de los flecos.

Inspiracion en la pasarela - Catwalk Inspiration
Una idea para darle otro aire a un vestido liso. En este caso un vestido blanco, ponerle encima una casaca a ganchillo calado en color contraste, aqui en negro. Motivos a usar en la casaca en esta pagina de Mypicot. La idea y fotos de Laura Biagiotti.

Blanco y negro - Black and White
Intemporal, elegante, sencilla y de lo mas ponible la chaqueta de Missoni que tuve en mis manos el otro dia en Harrods. Echa a ganchillo y no parecia ni siquiera dificil. El problema es que no tengo la paciencia necesaria para hacermela. A la venta en Browns, donde se puede ver con mas detalle.
An elegant and simple design in black and white crochet from Missoni. I had it in my hands and could not stop admiring it.

Vecinos - Neighbours
Algunos tienen coches de lo mas simpatico. El mini lo he bautizado GoldMini, el otro aun no se me ocurr como llamarlo. Admito sugerencias.
Somebody drives these cars, they both make me smile. I have named one of them GoldMini, after the James Bond film. Zebra car is still unnamed. Any suggestions ?

Cuadritos para siempre - Granny forever
Los motivos a cuadritos son imperecederos, se remozan de una manera u otra pero siguen en la brecha. Esta vez en la pasarela O/Invierno 11/12 del escoces Christopher Kane. Incluso aparecieron impresos en faldas de cuero. El desfile completo aqui .
Granny squares are now in the limelight again, or to be more acurate on the catwalk. Thanks to Christopher Kane latest show in Milan for his 2011/12 Autunm/Winter collection. They even appeared printed on leather skirts. But the reality is that contrary to what some designers think, they never went out of fashion. Crafting went out of fashion.

Ioannis Dimitrousis
Interesante y espectacular la forma en que utiliza el ganchillo el griego Ioannis Dimitrousis en su coleccion para esta primavera. Sobrio en su uso del color, pero jugueton con los volumenes. Un primer plano de los modelos en Prevailing mode of Expression. Fotos cortesia de Knitkicks.
Scuptural and tubular are some of the adjetives that can be applied to the crochet fashion pieces that greek designer Ioannis Dimitrousis created for Spring 2011.See a closeup of the models at Prevailing mode of Expression. Photos courtesy of Knitkicks .

Paseo inspirador - Inspirational walk
Esta tarde me pase por Oxford Street buscando unas cosas para mi hermana . I como soy de ideas fijas pues siempre termino encontrando inspiracion artesanal, busca buscando por John Lewis las telas y patrones de Amy Butler (resisti la tentacion y no compre nada) y el patron gratis de esta capelina a ganchillo . De alli a Selfridges y me topo con que los ultimos bolsos de Dolce y Gabanna vienen con detalles a ganchillo de lo mas resulton.
Yesterday after work I ran some errands for my sister. I don't know how I managed but ended up finding one crafty thing after another. At John Lewis, some colourful displays promoting Amy Butler's patterns and materials. Around the corner got the pattern for this lovely crochet capelet . Then to Selfridges where I saw the latest Dolce & Gabanna handbags embellished with crochet motives.
