Imagine ordering a ton of wool to complete your art project?! That’s what Toshiko did when she created this amazing net-construction sculpture big enough for a swing! Knitted and crocheted, it showcases the wonderful textures and shapes wool can create. So, guys and girls, let’s get crafting together! If you missed our knitting session last week, Stitch & Story will be holding another very soon, keep an eye out for posts! x

Last few days left of the Wool House exhibition. These stunning interiors kitted out of wool are breath-taking! And even the sheep had a little adventure and made it down to graze on some fine Somerset House grass! amazing.

The Campaign for Wool announces the world’s largest showcase of wool at Somerset House!

From 13-24 March 2013, The Campaign For Wool will be launching Wool House: a showcase of top interiors, fashion designers, artisans and craft-maker all presenting a vision for wool as a modern, versatile, lifestyle fibre.

The entrance of Wool House will be styled like a grand country house, with a carpet inspired by a classic marble floor tile pattern and created by Alternative Flooring Bespoke. Unique pieces will embellish the house including Shauna Richardson’s unusual ‘crochetdermy’ Bear that has previously been exhibited at the V&A which will take pride of place in the entrance of Wool House. While Andy Warhol influenced sheep head images will be displayed on the walls of the hall.

There will be three rooms dedicated to fashion, including a space showcasing fine woven fabrics and live tailoring while two others will celebrate the importance of wool in the fashion industry. A series of wool-led designer talks, events and a programme of activities with interactive workshops will be held during the course of the event.

We can’t wait to pay a visit and marvel at the works of top wool designers, taking inspiration for Stitch & Story’s next big project! We hope to see you there~

Wool House is at Somerset House from 13-24 March 2013. Entry is free.

We received a really special commission this month. One of our Stitch & Story fans came to us with a lovely gift idea. She wanted some baby booties made for her friend’s newborn baby, named Poppy. So we got über personalised and knitted these shoes with tiny poppies on each side. It was really fiddly trying to knit such miniature flowers (size 2mm needles!) but we managed and even added a tiny leaf for that extra special detail. C’mon, altogether now: ‘awwr!’…

We love these exaggerated knitted slumber poufs designed by Aleksandra Gaca for Belgium manufaturer, Casalis. Sit on them and they hug you, stand up and they spring back to their original form…we simply adore them and wish we had one for our homes!

Have spare yarn left over? These quick baubles are so cute and very easy to crochet! Find the pattern here by Greedy for Colour. Wishing everyone a very merry Xmas! x
