What Dreams May Come:




   "Sandra Foster turned a Catskills hunting cabin into the romantic Victorian cottage she had always wanted.
    Ms. Foster has her own shabby-chic retreat. It may not have a bathroom or a kitchen, but it is a dream of Victoriana: stacks of Limoges china with tiny rosebud patterns; chandeliers dripping crystal; billows of tissue-paper garlands. This is all the more impressive because she renovated the 9-by-14-foot cottage, an old hunting cabin, herself. The cost of renovating and furnishing it: $3,000."

Hand Knitted Clock



    A knitted clock is such an original idea. This is Gomitolo clock designed by Carlo and Benedetta Tamborini. This funky wall clock is knit of cotton and comes in thee different colors. It's large at aprox 20" in diameter. Yes, this clock really works! 




   This is the one of the most genius clocks, I've ever seen! This "clock" is by Siren Elise Wilhelmsen which knits a scarf in one year!


You can find out how to make a circular one HERE by Liat Gat

 HERE is my favourite - very funny and colourful clockwork.

 

 Or you can knit a beret-clock HERE.
