This weekend I learned how to knit for the first time. I already love sewing and after reading so many wonderful knitting blogs and checking out different vintage knitting patterns I was inspired to try. Over the summer I had bought some yarn and Michaels (its super soft purple acrylic yarn – that you can see in the above photo) but I never had time to start working with it. Over the weekend my mother taught me to knit, purl, and cast on and so now I’m working on a winter scarf!

I’m just starting to get into wearing more jewelry somewhere other than my ears, so its perfect timing that while browsing online I discovered Brooklyn based Digby & Iona (who have a new collection coming up soon!) on the La Dama webshop.
My favorites are the animal rings (especially the stag ring) but they have a ton of other amazing things like knife and bullet necklaces and cufflinks (one with a hunter, and the other with a deer). This particular collection is perfectly my style, and I love the use of such rough and vicious in such beautiful jewelry. The designer, Aaron Ruff had a carpenter father and went to the Parsons School of Design for furniture design, and you can definately see that showing up in the rustic elements of his jewelry. If I ever have the cash to spend so much on jewelry, I’m definately trusting Digby and Iona to outfit my fingers.

Wind on the hill
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn’t keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
-A.A Milne
