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!

As my grandmother would say, "those are some steppin' shoes!" The texture looks kind of lacquered - probably helps to keep them tidy. Speaking of shoes - those clogs of yours are BEAUTIFUL!!

Just love your blog. Especially the Australia part. I live about 4 hours from Sydney and haven't managed to get to all those shops.
Thank you!

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!
