I received the prototype samples of my knitwear today. Yay! They were manufactured on wonderful Swiss knitting machines dating from the early 1910/1920s, which were sourced and restored back to their former glory by Werner and Mr. Eichenberger – I’ll tell you the whole story later. First let me enjoy these children’s blankets, which my mum sewed together by hand (danke tausig!) – I’m also looking forward to designing woollen caps and scarves and a whole lot more. The Blankets can be ordered from me or can be purchased at my booth in Leipzig at the Designers’ Open.

The Thing I like: LANG yarn from Switzerland knitted on Swiss machines in a little village between Zurich and Basel.
