Industrial Knitted Postcards with Environmental Message

My quest to use up every single piece of material that I would otherwise throw away has really forced me to use and stretch my brain in ways I had not imagined. And I hope this is just the beginning.

Below are various knitted postcards that I have produced. They are made from wool leftovers that are too small to make gloves or scarves from.... or are made from other items that have outlived their usefulness for whatever reason. These may include but are not limited to the kitchen curtains and last years Christmas table cloth that Uncle Louis permanently stained. I am also looking forward to making more of these from my store as well.


The above is made from kitchen curtains from our cabin that no longer could be used, but which had some really cool colors. I have also made a hat from this material and gave it to a little girl down the street.

The above is part of that Christmas tablecloth mentioned above - it is mixed with green yarn. I did this on a whim and felt like the result looked wet, slimy and murky. Hense the old 50's movie title popped into my head.

And here's something to do with all my left over green bits that actually looks cool.

And finally one of my favorites. I plan to make lots of these appliques to help get the message across!

Textual Sensations - Bringing Back Letter Writing With A Zing

My educational background is actually a university degree in English/Common Wealth Literature with a minor in Creative Writing. Writing has always been a big part of my life - In my earlier days, I used to have pen pals that received 25 page letters! This was of course before the time low cost computers, email, low cost cell phones and sms'ing.

Letter writing has taken a turn for the worst. This is something I'm sure everyone can agree upon and even the days of my long, long letters is a thing of the past. But while we might not be able to change our fast paced world, we can certainly take this world with both hands and personalize it according to our own wishes.

To this end we have I have started to design knitted postcards. The front sides are artistic, unique and inspiring enough to make the receiver stop in their tracks. It will take them out of their fast paced world and make them think: Wow - someone really likes me!
