My first commission

I've just completed my first commissioned blanket. This piece will be moving to Milan early 2013; To Have & To Hold Blankets goes global.

Two Strands...

The loft, feel and colour gradation of several blankets in the current collection has been achieved by knitting two strands of wool together.

Last Day!

Today is the last day of my inaugural pop up at Husband Cafe, South Yarra. I'll be there til 4pm, so if you are in the area make sure you come by and say hi; it's the perfect opportunity to pick up and hold my blankets - you may not want to put them back down, but that's ok, I still have a couple available to purchase.

Pure Joy

I love making baby blankets, the subtle variations in tone and texture make for a beautiful and timeless gift that will keep on giving over the years.

The blanket above was cot size (95 x 135cm) when it was gifted to a new born. Now little girl is 4 years old and it has come back to me to be enlarged to fit her single bed (95 x 165cm).   

As she grows the blanket can grow with her. Maybe up to a double or queen size when she leaves home? Or perhaps, one day, it will be converted back to two or more baby blankets. 

There will be running repairs along the way, no doubt, but if handled with care, these blankets should last a lifetime.

To Have & To Hold Pop Up Has Been Extended!

I'm having such a great time at my pop up at Husband, that I have decided to extend the finish date to 4pm on Saturday the 3rd of November. I'm looking forward to our continued conversations, and to meeting some more new enthusiasts. See you there...

Then & Now...

It's Official - To Have & To Hold Pop Up, 8th-27th October!

The pop up is the perfect opportunity to pick up and hold my blankets - you may not want to put them back down, but that's ok, all work on display will be available to purchase. I look forward to seeing you at Husband for a coffee and a yarn.
