faire du vélo
Today’s the first day of the Tour de France, so it feels like the perfect day to share my main WIP of the moment. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I got a bike recently: Since Paper Tiger moved out of the apartment and into a proper workspace, I decided a bike would… Continue reading

vasa; or, the structural importance of seams
A few months ago I took one of Josh Bennett‘s classes at Vogue Knitting Live! Seattle. Josh is an incredible designer who’s got his hands in a bunch of different places in the knitting world, with a handknit line for Michael Bastian, and a wide body of work for Rowan and Vogue Knitting, among others. He’s… Continue reading

inspiration: field notes
I’m one of those people who hoards notebooks, especially small-sized ones. There’s something about beautiful stationery that’s hard for me to resist, and I don’t think I’m alone in that respect. For those who are familiar with the Field Notes Brand notebooks, it will come as no surprise that I’m a longtime avid fan. The regular Field… Continue reading

the new paper tiger hq
A few weeks ago I made a very exciting decision – I signed a lease on a studio/office space for Paper Tiger! While there are some things I loved about working from home, I feel like making the leap to a workspace outside the home has been a fantastic decision for my creative work. Change… Continue reading

tonari no totoro!
I watched My Neighbor Totoro for the first time in a very long time last night. I grew up with this movie, and it was my introduction to Japanese animation and to Miyazaki’s work in particular. It’s still brilliant, and I think it’s only getting better with time. I decided my chalkboard at home needed a little… Continue reading

It’s the Necono Digital Camera, and not surprisingly it’s a Japanese product. Cat camera has four modes: it takes still photos, still photos with… Continue reading

inspiration: scissors for a brush
A few weeks ago I stopped by the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle to check out one of the rotating exhibitions. It’s called Scissors for a Brush, and it’s an exhibition of work by Danish-Norwegian artist Karen Bit Vejle. Her artwork is all papercut, or psaligraphy, done with paper and scissors, and it’s pretty amazing to… Continue reading

サマーソニック
Back in March I blogged about a sweater I was knitting by a Japanese designer named Michiyo. It went on the back burner for a little bit while I worked on the pattern and knit the samples for Amiina as well as my upcoming pattern (which should be ready in a week or two), but as you… Continue reading

amiina
photo by Sarah Jurado Sometimes it rains on photoshoot day. I have a new pattern to share today, and I thought I’d share a little bit about the photoshoot, too. One of the things I love most about what I do is the chance to work with my very creative friends, and I hired my… Continue reading

extra curricular
It’s been a little quiet around here, but only because I’ve been working away! I have a couple upcoming patterns that should be ready for release in a few weeks, plus a few other projects I’ve been working on, so I don’t have so many finished things to show off at the moment. I figured… Continue reading
