amazing felt + crochet necklaces

i was checking out modish, a favorite blog of mine, and came across these cool necklaces by kjoo.

birthday treats

in addition to fabulous cooking implements (not pictured, although the fruit of my future labors in the kitchen may well show up here), i got these treats for my birthday a couple of weeks ago:



Parallel Practices in Fashion and Architecture. hmmm. nice idea.

lots and lots of cool fabric from purl patchwork. you never know when you might need to quilt all of the sudden. it's best to be prepared.

perfect. from luke.

three fabric necklaces

i got this gem from luke for christmas. the ceramic beads are glossy, so a bit of shine peeks through the knit casing. the beads are held in place by decreasing in the knitting between the beads.

i got this collar by anuschka hoevener from project no. 8 a few weeks ago.

this polar bear reverses to a brown bear on the other side. the brown bear is showing his teeth, so i generally go for the friendlier arctic beast. i found this on smith st in brooklyn, but i can't remember where.
