I've flooded my stories with beautiful clothing by Comme de Garçons. I was introduced to Rei as a designer with this collection during my senior year in undergrad. She will forever be my inspirational favorite. . . . . #metmuseum #commedesgarcons #reikawakubo #fashion #antifashion
I finished my Campside Shawl awhile back but never got around to photographing it. Here it is now- out in the wild and ready for the cooler evenings by the fire. 🔥 . . . . . #campsideshawl #stonehengefibermill #crazyyarn #aliciaplummer #handknit #knitting #knittersofinstagram #michiganwool #localwool #mylifeinhandknits #handknitwardrobe #slowfashion
My July #summerofbasics plan ended up not working out. While I drafted my skirt pattern and pulled out the fabric, my heart wasn't ready to cut into it yet. So last week I scraped that and started on another machine knit pullover. I'm designing for the transition seasons, striping two different Shibui yarns in this boxy pullover. I've got the front done and am hoping to work on the back today! 🖤 . . . . . #fringeassociation #shibui #machineknitting #knittersofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #handmade #shibuiknits #knitting
Phew! This pair of socks are finally off the needles!

The Riverwest 24 is my favorite holiday of the year. It's The People's Holiday, and a chance for our neighborhood to come together for 24 hours and celebrate community, have fun, and ride bikes. Cheers to @stalinski13 for riding 18 laps this year, and for letting me yarn bomb his bike with reflective yarn! 🚴🏆 #riverwest24 #rw24 #peoplesholiday

Weekend getaway and some summer reading. After visiting 27 rue de Fleurus in January, Brian and I walked to @shakespeareandcoparis where I promptly bought this book. I finally started it this weekend on our Driftless escape, and it's been nothing but enjoyable. If you're an art history lover, I highly recommend this book! I only wish they had an edition with color pictures of all the paintings that are mentioned. 📖🎨
#summerofbasics | Driftless edition. 🌾 Getting some good use out of my June top on these cool summer evenings. Design/pattern is personal, machine knit with Quince Willet. . . . . . #fringeassociation #quinceyarn #willet #machineknitting #knitting #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #summerknits #knittersofinstagram #driftless #wisconsin
I think one reason I love sock knitting, and knitting in general, so much is how portable it is. Every place I can knit a few rows of the sock I'm working on is like knitting that moment into the sock itself. So many of the socks I knit have travel stories behind them. And that's before they even are worn! 👣 Enjoying some backyard sock knitting tonight as the sun is just starting to set. ✨ . . . . #sockknitting #operationsockdrawer #whfcsockclub #handknit #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitmona #honeybadger #honeybadgersocks #handknitwardrobe #slowfashion #riverwest #tattooedknitter
Morning swallowtail check in! ⛅️🐛😌 It's been about a week since the eggs hatched. There were six babies on the dill, and now we're down to two. . . . . . #urbangarden #urbanhomestead #garden #swallowtailbutterfly #caterpillar #dill #growyourownfood #wisconsin #milwaukee #urbanecology
That feeling when you finish a project that was started 5 years ago. 🤦‍♀️💁 So, so happy to have this quilt off of the wip shelf and in the wild! I collected a majority of this fabric during my fabric shop employee chapter while in Chicago. All the printed strips were sewn together in 2012, and it just needed to be finished! I've been working on it for the past month now, and it's officially washed and ready for use during those cool summer evenings. 🌖 . . . . #quilting #quilt #quiltsofinstagram #handmade #fabricworm #theneedleshop #heirloom #bespoke #modernquilt #homedecor #modernquilting
