You'll find some pretty!
Here's the result of the placement printing which Sam and I did during the Open Studio last weekend, a lovely wool felt and linen scarf for dear Cousin Nathan's birthday! Only two months late, but hey, it's handmade.
Scarf modeled by the spunkiest man in the entire Younghusband Wool Store building, the very wonderful (and very tolerant) Jem of LikeButter!
You can see why we love the LikeButter crew so damn much - aside from building all our stuff (see tree behind) dear Jem allows us to accost him with the occasional odd modeling demand! Though he never stays for a cup of tea... can't imagine why..?
If you can tear your eyes away from the thing of beauty above (the scarf, people) we thought you might like to see what happened next...
After a few people thinking that perhaps they'd like one for themselves, it got us thinking that maybe we could whip some more scarves up for the Melbourne Design Market! So I headed off to Park Orchards to pay a visit to our dear friend Winterwood and pick us up some fancy-pants, Italian felt. After eventually choosing the colours, we came home to I&S HQ and began doing some placement prints.

Ta-Da!
Ta-Da!
All cut in to lovely scarf sized lengths, now ready for colour 2!
That's all so far, I'm actually procrastinating doing the next batch of printing by writing this post. But I just had to show you Jem- er, I mean the finished scarf! ;) Just kidding, Jem!!One last one to see what the other two lovely ladies are up to today:
Larz is on cushion making duty, Bee wrapping handmade soaps (no, not handmade by us)
P.S. massive thanks to everyone who's commented on the giveaway post - so far the most popular suggestions are MORE GREEN PLEASE and SMALL GEOMETRIC DESIGNS. Keep 'em coming folks!

You gals are such dags :-) I can see your eyelashes fluttering at him from here!!
Jem could spend part of his time modelling, and part of his time... next to me
Haha, it's all in good fun!
I'd just like to take this opportunity to say hi to Jem's lovely partner Laura! ;)

I can't imagine how you get any work done with that spunk in the building ; )

I want Bee's cardi! It is gorgeous! The scarves are an awesome idea. But sorry, I'll have to take me own hubby anyday. ;)
