or is that purl bee? i love knitting. i’m not very good at it, in fact i only know how to knit, not purl — which is completely pathetic. my mum showed me how a few Christmases ago, and i found the left brain-right brain process so meditative and calming, i can really get into the ‘zen zone’ when i knit. the purl bee is the blog for the knitting & yarn shop Purl Soho based in new york city, as well as Purl patchwork their beautiful fabric shop, that carries wonderful designer fabrics like amy butler and miko oguro.

so, i can’t help but noticing, the weather is taking a turn for the chilly, so what better time to get knitting some winter warmth. purl bee has classes and workshops, but if you’re not in the area, Purl Bee also has online tutorials and patterns and lots of project ideas. BEST OF ALL, you bring your own voice into the conversation by posting comments and interacting with others at purl bee. check out some of these patterns and project ideas.
