Forget That Tome…
(This, is couture crochet. It is not only the technique, but how well its adaptation was thought out, that makes this shoe arresting. In the end (and it is all about the end result, isn't it), it is more important to understand the power of the medium, than just how to make the stitches. Yes, there have been crocheted shoes out there, but not like this. John Galliano for Christian Dior, spring '07. Runway photo, Marcio Madeira. And a big shout out to the artisan who crocheted the shoe fabric).
And Speaking of little Knots
My catch up designing and knitting has had me tied down to the fast track of life. Which was okay, but now the end of my two week vacation is speeding toward me, express-train style. But with a bit of this news in, I'll be able to––rest my fingers and move my feet instead!
New York's premier jungle and drum n' bass party has returned! Thursday night, a legendary triumvirate will spin at The Sullivan Room, NYC. DJ SS is one of the three, and the man of the hour for me. Go to Direct Drive for details, and wear something crocheted–-it's an appreciative crowd!

CROCHET SHOES!!! I have to make me some of those! They are fantastic - oh, imagine how good they'd look in red. If only I could work out how to attach the crochet to the soles...

In a related note, I saw that Pottery Barn is doing knitted wicker furniture.

Whoa. Some really fine kicks...
The height & beauty of those would not only lift and seperate, they would give me such a big head I would be in orbit wearing them ;p

Is that a band-aid on the back of her ankle?

Those are some serious shoes. Great art work.
By the way, I may actually get a day off from school, and it looks like it'll be a Thursday!
