scenic linking

I was linking my knitting on the 6th floor of the Newberry Tower the other day. It was lovely and sunny with great views across the city... before the torrential rain set in...

sitandknitabit

I went along to my first sitandknitabit session this evening, which was really fun. We met in Artisan Roast on Gibson Street (GREAT lavender hot chocolate) and knitted 6x6 inch squares which will make up the blanket for the 100th International Women's Day blanket in the Tramway!

odd wee details...

these are some drawings i did about a month ago, playing about with mundane garments and making them a little odd...

twin peaksmania

over the past couple of months i have become interested (obsessed) with the 90's tv series twin peaks. so much so that my collection is inspired by the women of twin peaks! so i'll keep you all posted on my chunky knits and 90's outfits! if you have not seen it shame on you, but here is a super geeky site that will educate you intwinpeaks.com

my friend erin does these amazing little drawings, and after receiving an amazing christmas card from her, i thought it was time to see what was happening on her blog... check it out! erinmcintyre.blogspot.com

hello blogging world

I have not blogged for ages and ages. I think I kind of lost the motivation for a while. However, yesterday at GSA we received a talk by Lauren Currie also known as Redjotter and she has inspired me to give blogging another go! I recognised Lauren when she came in, and realised that she was actually in my year at Duncan of Jordanstone. She has achieved so much since graduating form both DOJ and GSA and it really does prove that it pays to persevere with promoting yourself! So here goes...

I thought I would re-introduce myself... I am Katherine and am currently studying at Glasgow School of Art on the Masters in Fashion and Textiles course. So far I am absolutely loving the course, it is pretty much perfect for me! After graduating from my undergraduate Textiles course at Duncan of Jordanstone in 2008, I took part in an internship with fashion designers BLESS for just over 3 months and when i came back to Scotland I was desperate to move to Glasgow. I really love Glasgow I call it home now!

So I will hopefully be updating you all on here with my ideas and news... I have added a picture of something I worked on last week on my mannequin in the studio. I think I will work form home today as I am finding that I have a serious issue with inappropriate shows for snow!

Stay tuned...
