seams obvious

publication homespunpublication homespunsleeping on the couch - 'happiness'

Pippa in Homespun, an Australian crafts magazine.

The photo of my s l e e p i n g - b e a u t y I took in november 2011, when she was napping on the couch because she wasn't feeling too well.

Both the photo and the blog post have become very popular and are still frequently viewed every day.

The blanket we found in a second-hand shop in Antwerp is world famous now.

Publication Homespun No.142 issue March 2015 - page 17:

'SEAMS OBVIOUS! Ingrid Jansen, from WoodWoolStool, didn't make this brilliant patchwork knit blanket; she said it was a "lucky find in a second-hand shop in Antwerp". We love it too, with it's cosy, comforting feel that mixes up any number of uncoordinating knitted squares and highlights the seams to exaggerate the naive feel. There are lots of visual treats on Ingrid site; go to www.woodwoolstool.blogspot.com or shop for her wares on www.etsy.com/nl/shop/woodwoolstool.'

"Yes, we all know the charm of country-style distressed paintwork on recycled timbers, but topping it all with a rainbow of crochet is something different - and completely charming. Ingrid Jansen is the mother of this lovely invention and she sells her stools through her Etsy store (www.etsy.com/shop/woodwoolstool). She's based in the Netherlands, but she's happy to ship to Australia. Her blog is Wood & Wool Stool, www.woodwoolstool.blogspot.com
