port2portpress studio gallery
maria has an incredible ability to capture “a certain feeling” in all of her photography. i am always inpired by her attention to the simple, everyday things that surround her. it makes me want to get up take a bunch of photos of wherever i am and whatever i’m doing. she also shares a long distance photo blog with her friend, stephanie, who also inspires me like crazy with her comforting sense of style and craft.
purlbee’s brioche stitch scarf pattern
i had seen this stitch style when i was looking for a way to change the neckline of a sweater i was working on a few weeks ago. in that situation, it was used for a baggy cowl neck. i stuck with the original design, but i can see how the brioche ribbing would’ve been so comfy…
a super cute stitch pattern (may be a great way to knit up those colorful orphan skeins- as suggested by someone on the blog…) from the purlbee blog:
DAISY STITCH
Cast on a multiple of 4 stitches, plus one.
Row 1 (right side): Knit.
Row 2: K1, *P3tog, yo, P3tog again (the same three stitches as before), K1, repeat from *.
Row 3: Knit.
