the siren
inspired by vintage fishnet stockings and the handmade nets of old fishing boats, the siren is a mercurial wrap knit entirely of luxurious mongolian cashmere.
using varying weights of yarn - some super-light and cobweb-y, others lush and chunky - this versatile wrap is exactly what a siren would covet as soon as she washed up on shore.
the siren can be worn any number of ways - four incarnations are pictured in my flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/oishiiknits)
each piece is one-of-a-kind and created as the ideal yarns become available. custom orders are possible but i cannot guarantee color availability.
cosi
this "cosi", (italian for "like this" or "like that") is a classic shape with a modern kick.
crafted entirely of lusciously soft italian and uruguayan kettle-dyed merino wools, this piece is a fantastic wardrobe staple.
and the stretchiness of this knit gives you tons of styling options - it's a great light layer over warm weather togs on a cool evening and is a bright, modern layer to spice up obligatory winter coats.
*each "cosi" is one of a kind, created while i knit. designs can be repeated for custom orders or wholesale customers

inside my knitting bag..
although the national holiday is september 8th, my mom-in-law (in town for the week) bought me this delicious confection.
these are handmade by a designer - offhand designs - in oakland, ca. they are constructed of super luscious vintage upholstery fabrics with italian hardware and findings (yes the gold clasp is stamped "made in italy" - yum!)
i have been coveting one of these bags for two years! yipee yipee for me!! thanks so much, cathy!
inside my bag... gorgeous pink silk blend lining, yarn (of course), samples of new hats (with pom-poms, yipee!), a blanket i am working on, and the new issue of moda with photos of the haute couture shows in paris... deee-licious!

introducing... lefty!
what a flirt! with his one green arm and roguish smile, lefty is a wonderful addition to the family... and he is ridiculously eco-friendly to boot!
lefty is knit from our lovely pima cotton/modal blend yarn and stuffed with 100% luxurious bamboo fiber. without a doubt this super yummy, bamboo-filled boy is a treat for baby and for the planet.
