We knit: Dana Barnes profile
Dana Barnes is a knitwear designer who has designed for the likes of Elie Tahari, Adrienne Vittadini and Tommy Hilfinger in the past. Now, she has focused her attention on making giant crocheted rugs, all handmade by her and the few staff members she employs. Her SOHO loft (the ultimate dream apartment) serves as her studio for the creations she sells under her label Souled Objects.
On another note... I have just started felting myself. I'm making the Felted Slippers designed by Melynda Bernardi (of French Press Knits) with some turquoise wool from the Kingston, Ontario fair. I'm crossing my fingers that everything will turn out!

We observe: Head Scarves
It's been a recent obsession of ours to learn how to tie the perfect head scarf. We believe this love for the head scarf/turban began for us (and other headwear lovers) with the Prada 2007 collection, in which it was officially proven that the silk turban was so much more than a religious symbol... but the ultimate fashion accessory.

Since Prada's "discovery" / innovation of this wondrous accessory, people have been testing out new ways to tie and wrap a head scarf.

Here's yet another way to wear it, seen in a recent spread from June 2010's Vogue Russia:

Unfortunately, even after seeing "the turban" succeed time and time again to look great on others, we still find ourselves wondering...
how do they do it?It is so much harder than it looks to pull this off as an effortless cool.

We knit: Vintage Turban
I started knitting this vintage 1940s turban pattern January 7th with Sublime cashmerino wool... my absolute favourite brand. I ran out of wool and was forced to put the project into hibernation until I finally got around to buying more. As of today... (finally!) it is complete.
...hello Grace Kelly!
