What I have hearted this week



I just love everything knitted and therefore this is the favorite time of the year for me. Don't you think this would look great on me?

I asked a few things from the designer, since I wanted to get to know her better. Her name is Anabel and she is an argentinean living in a Paris, a crafter since a little girl and a passionate creator.

This same piece happened to be her personal favorite too. The reason for this is that the hat was an asked project by the fashion student for a photo session with a tribute to "Elsa Beskow" (swedish illustrator) as a subject. This is what Anabel wrote me about this piece:

"So, she asked me for a "pine cone" shaped crocheted hat and a photo of the illustration as a guide... I took a real one, studied it a little bit and with nothing else than imagination I made it real. I sold this one last year but I still has it as an item made to order for all the new fans with a goblin spirit."

You can find more beautiful items in her shop on Etsy!

  1. Ooohh..... Elsa Beskow is somewhat of a national treasure for us Swedes and this hat looks exactly like something from one of her stories. :) Love it.

  2. OMG! This is an extraordinary hat! I could not pull it off myself but I could see it on the right woman. So whimsical and technically quite the challenge I am sure!
