roses and chains

i paid myself a little designing trip in the past few days... combined crochet techniques with knitting needles and principles, on a bigger scale... and here's the result!

the scarf is made of 4 smaller ones, of different sizes and shapes, attached together in 3 different points; with strings hanging and 3 roses

i used to blends:
-50% soya/ 50% acrylic
-86% bamboo/ 12% acrylic/ 2% polyester

and i'm dreaming...

and i'm dreaming;
of translucent eyes
blinding skylights
brightly soaked rooms

rolled, scratched, peeling white paint,
faded damasks,
dusty vases.

and i'm dreaming;
of a blue toned reality,
moving polaroids,
new souvenirs: infinity.

fresh breath of an opened window,
sheer curtains, laughing
two ghosts, laying.

and i'm dreaming;
for (our) outbroken leather, light cottons,
destroyed chiffons,
torn up lace

mistaken for spiderwebs,
ripped, stitched silk,
our threaded lives
(on canvas)

and i'm dreaming;
brushing the smoke off your eyes,
like the holes of your face
ropes to your soul.

hanging upon my dirty hands
unforgotten alphabets
blowing clouds.

and i'm dreaming;
a green garden, ours, and a tree
growing from ashes, death
in the middle, a mess.

luxurious fruits for thirst
a shell, for show
our running roots
(from tomorrow)

sewing& office sessions :O

i know, i know; i've been a terrible blogger lately :S (not like i've ever been so good though haha). i've been spending a lot of time on some "office/ official" stuff to be able to spend more time creating, improving and being able to sell my products in stores. i still have lots of work on that regard to do in the following weeks, as for money aspect, possibility of developpement, etc. i will expand a bit more on the subject when i will have more informations myself! don't hesitate though if you have any questions :)

on another note, i've been feeling like using my creativity for other purposes than the (most) usual knitting. lately, i've been looking for a hoodie for the summer, and since i couldn't find what i wanted, or simply couldn't afford it (usual truth); i simply decided to sew one myself! i was a little nervous since i hadn't really use my machine for almost two years. project went well, happy with the result, although i wanna modify a bit my pattern next time...
