It’s been over a month now (eek!) since I did the installation at Dover Street Market in New York City. It was magnificent…the people, the store, the clothes, the jewelry. I am poor now. The installation was massive…spanning 6 floors. I could not have done it with out the help of the village it took. This includes Sarah Gallagher, Heidi Swift, Heidi Heleniak, Kevin Abrams, Margaux Clermontel, Lori Cohen, Emily Yuet-Ting Choi, Joni Webster, Kristine Souza, Robin Kolber, Mercedes Zegarra-Soja, Patricia De La Rosa and her posse of knitters, Sarah […]

I just got back from a site visit to lovely Rio de Janeiro- a place I have never been. First stop was Cristo. Check out the woman in the background.

This landscape was hard to comprehend….this is taken from one of the highest points in the Hacienda/Favela areas. And now….. A little bit about the food I LOVED… […]

the dubai trip

March 30, 2013 by knittap

Dubai was everything I expected it be and so much more. Indoor skiing, skydiving, and scuba diving are definitely over the top. Man made islands are CRAZY. And Emirate women are now some of my favorite people in the world…. Admittedly I had my preconceived notions about them which soon withered away as I met women who were business owners, web designers, kite boarders, basketball players, and all around bad asses. I watched in awe at times. I was there […]

Happy December 2, 2013

January 2, 2013 by knittap

via colossal EDIT: So delightful to make a case in point about being sluggish to starting the new year; I meant to title this post , Happy January 2nd… AACK! (me identifying with a Cathy comic these days) Is it just me, or is everyone moving a little slow to get the new year started?? Maybe that is why I like this video of fire works in reverse so much.
