An excuse to doodle or How To Knit A Colouring Book: Mitsouko

16/1/2018

Mitsouko + Mitsouko's Lover by La Maison Rililie Designs
Who is in the mood for drawing and painting?
Who wants to play with yarn and colour?
Imagine a fun and yarny colouring book experience: But with absolute freedom of abstraction.


If, like me, you are a bit bored of the usual motifs used in Fair Isle knitting, Norwegian colour-work or traditional embroidery throughout the world and want something you created by yourself, you can get inspiration from any shape or form around you - try to see the lines and surfaces in an abstract design.
There are so many different ways that colours can interact with each other that go beyond what we already see in knitting..
​..but I digress...
​let me start at the beginning:
After travelling back from a super fun workshop in Italy, last autumn (where the lovely owner of the Unfilodi Knit-House, Luisa gifted me the perfect tukuwool in the most gorgeous rusty shades), I strolled around in the perfume section of the Malpensa airport and re-discovered an old love of mine: Mitsouko! Guerlain's famous perfume from 1919.
When I got the yarn a couple of hours earlier I knew that it was perfect for a colourwork hat, but I also knew that I wanted to escape the ubiquitous, repetitive and small motifs and explore something a bit more experimental, large-scale and abstract.
Mitsouko pattern by La Maison Rililie Designs
​Now, by looking at the early 20th century perfume bottle, I had my answer:
​I allowed myself to get influenced by the delicate scrollwork pattern from the label design and played with it to create an interesting motif that also provided a gradient of colour, deliberately set up to go from light to dark. I'd like to think that you can still see a bit the influences of Art Deco and Japonesque elements that were the rage when the perfume was launched!


This pattern tries to explore stranded knitting by tackling the subject with a different approach:
Mitsouko wants to explore something a bit more experimental, large-scale and conceptual.
The idea is mostly influenced from abstract large scale paintings in general, while only the specific interpretation is drawn from the famous scrollwork pattern. 
You can knit this Mitsouko pattern as is and I have prepared charts that match three standard sizes to create these colour interactions with your yarn and colours of choice.
But if you’d like to go a bit further and be a bit experimental and unleash the abstract designer or graphic artist inside, I have also provided empty charts in three sizes for you to play with, without having to bother to do all the math or think about construction.

​This could be a design or 
drawing of your very own. You can customise this hat while getting an excuse to doodle… and get to unleash your (inner?) kid!

So how would this work? Well you can choose something you want to make as a pattern. Like me, you can allow yourself to be inspired by any form you find intriguing. You could blow up and digitise a photograph that has interesting colour interactions. You could take up crayons and have some fun. You can blow up a segment of a design you like or even a lace design and transform it into colour-work. You can also give the provided charts to your friend, child or loved one and have them come up with a colour design for a unique custom knit they have put their own creativity into.
And then you can knit their custom-motif up for the perfect gift... a project that came out of your very own creative collaboration.

You can use this as a fun experimental place to try out something new. Take a walk on the design side, or the fashion side and come up with a fresh take on your knit-work for a truly one-off hat nobody else has – this way, you are the master of your project.

...If on the other hand you prefer taking the safe route and also don't like the spirals of the original Mitsouko? Then, well... then Mitsouko's Lover is for you...

MIstouko + MItsouko's Lover hat pattern by La Maison Rililie Designs
Mitsouko's Lover is the cheeky name of the "minimal and simple" striped version which is probably more unisex and easy to wear than Mitsouko, although this all depends on personal style anyway. For this version I tried the Ovelha Negra Victoria yarn for the first time and it really is an absolute joy to work with!
The longer ribbing and slightly larger body of the actual shape of all versions can be worn slouchy or tucked in for a more elegant beanie effect. You get a dense and warm hat, that is still light and easy to wear and to take with you, since it is knitted in fingering weight yarn.

Find the pattern on this site or go to ravelry.
(Until midnight of 23 of January 2018 (CEST), you automatically get a 20% discount)​
Also stay tuned to find out about some news out of Italy.... a surprise collaboration with Unfilodi knit house that will interest all Italian speaking friends and many more...

Check out the KAL:

Since the whole hat pattern is so adjustable and open to personalisation, it is the perfect project to have a fun and interactive KAL together with other colour-drawing-exploring knitters - or to get some help in deciding on how to combine one's own ideas of design, motif and colour - or to just show off different versions from clean-cut minimalism to totally out there, baroque styling!

The case about my new case: Della Q

DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
In the last weeks I had to reconsider my knitting-needle "organisation": My "system" wasn't working anymore. Circulars were everywhere and although I tried to keep them from tangling up with each other by storing most of them in their original sachets, they were also starting to show their age and tearing up. It was extra hard and quite unpleasant to try to find anything in my big mess of a bag...
My old knitting needle
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
My old knitting needle
So here you get the exclusive before + after pictures!
Behold on the left my wonderful striped tote, which I used since the dawn of time to keep (most of) my needles in one place... While on the right please do welcome my new and all professional The Que Grand Circular Needle Case!
It might look like an innocent, elegant silk clutch from the outside, but beware - the inside holds the best tool for all of us slightly neurotic and archive-maniacs knitters out there:
Pockets... Labels,
TABS!
In this organisational wonder you get 21 labelled pockets, plus another 3 plain pockets. 
​
All of them do have a flap and they are about 15cm x 10,5cm big, which makes each pocket large enough to hold about 3 (smaller sized) needles comfortably.
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
The labelling helps me to find whatever I need at a glance - that is, almost… since there is no info on length of the cords given in the tabs. On the other hand this would have limited each pocket to only one length and for me at least, it is so much more practical to keep all different lengths of the same needle-size in one space.
Well, I guess that what I will do is to hold up all the same-sized-needles of one pocket, so as to quickly see which is the 60cm, the 80cm and the 100cm length one. That does not sound too bad.
The half sizes stop at 6,5mm, so that there was no pocket provided for my 7,5mm circular (the labelling goes from 1,5mm (000US) to 12mm (17US) by the way). There are even quarter sizes for the smaller needles, which I do not use at all - so I thought that I could put stickers on the existing tabs to personalise the labelling according to my own needs and together with the pockets that do not have labels, I can still find my stuff at one glance and have all of my needles together in one case.
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
Thankfully I checked the website again when I was going to write the blog post - because there I read that this case also features a zip pocket, which I didn't see at all! It says on the site that this pocket is here, “just in case you need to store something other than a circular needle.”… What a great addition!
This extra deep and large pocket is very well hidden underneath one complete row of flap-pockets!

So I proceeded and put ALL of my short circulars TOGETHER with their original plastic pouches (that mention size and length) into this zipped pocket and yes, they all fitted in there!
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
While the pocket organisation is most practical and welcome, the main star of this case is of course the fabric! When I first saw it, I thought that it is made out of pure silk - but no, the material is called “Poly Silk” and as I found out with a quick google search, Poly Silk is essentially polyester and silk - it is a mix designed to make the silk more durable, easy to wash and wrinkle resistant. So you get the gorgeous look of silk and hopefully the durability and resistance of polyester with this material. 
Sounds good to me (who always walks around with wrinkly clothes, if they aren’t knit-wear… my knits are perfectly blocked, always!!! But everything else, not so much).
It is very soft to the touch and provides a relatively sturdy but extremely lightweight case. Although it is not small (29cm x 18cm x depth: diverse - my overfilled case measured 2cm on one edge and 4 cm on the other), it can look sleek and still hold all of my quite big needle collection.
​A big collection, which makes me want to reevaluate why I had to buy this 15mm needle back then? It takes up almost as much space as half of my other needles… and I never ever have used it anyway!
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
But back to the actual case: Especially for all of my travelling around, I love that it isn’t heavy and that it takes up considerably less space than my former storage.
I think that I will still continue to use my cute Cath Kidston case seen here on the left for my straight needles and probably for most of my DPNs, since I really love the combination of the two of them together. I never use my straights anymore though, so I normally don't have to travel with this much heavier case.
The colour I have is called “Seafoam” and it is a wonderful, vibrant, light venetian green. I especially love the different hues the silky fabric provides and I have the impression that it will age gracefully by getting lighter at the edges and make the rich texture of the weave come out even more. On the website there are quite many different colours to choose from, depending on the model and there is also a big choice of different sized needle cases for interchangeables, straights, DPNs or crochet hooks. I also think that I saw some lovely project bags over there, but I tried to ignore them for the time being.... 
But what I love the most, is the fact that these cases aren’t produced by a big international company but by a small business based in Seattle, which seems to be working ethically with the people that produce those handmade bags in Vietnam.
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
The tag on my case informed me that “A portion of your purchase trains low-income and rural Vietnamese women in the art of quilting” - How cool is that!

Even if the prices of items produced by these  shops sometimes seem more elevated than equivalent products offered by giant business chains, I still am actively looking out for these “small and true shops” each time I need something.
I really believe, that if we all could support the smaller businesses that still try to show a conscience in today's consumerist jungle, the working conditions in some otherwise exploited places might maybe get a bit more acceptable.
At least I am feeling so much better about any of my own purchases when I try to actively reflect on the type of company I am investing my little money in and when I then choose to wholeheartedly support all of the individual "Ma and Pa" shops out there.
DellaQ Knitting Needle case review @knittingtherapy blog by La Maison Rililie
There is so much more info you can read about the DellaQ shop and the quirky owner Della in her about page (or you can also check her out on instagram). Her blog “The Knitting Bag Chronicles” features also a lovely post that introduces the Vietnamese sewers and the workshop she is working with.

Now I am off to find a different solution for my DPNs, since I guess that my old Cath Kidston straight case (although very cute) will be too cumbersome to take with me when travelling…

For the dimensions, offered colours, price and other info about the cases, check out the DellaQ shop.

Yarn-Give-Away!

15/9/2014

Comments

 
Today is the day!!
The day a new yarn-baby has been pushed out into this great big world for us to caress and to love.... the Maai Yarn of Shibui has just been released!!!!
Shibui Maai give-away on knittingtherapy by Rililie
I am considering myself extremely lucky to be one of the few that had the opportunity to try this baby out before... I got a very generous sample by post and couldn't resist in casting on immediately for a new project (the hat from my last post), leaving my overflowing to-do list completely untouched.
It is this soft and beautiful!
Shibui Maai - on knittingtherapy by Rililie

The Maai is made in a fine and soft chain construction out of 70% super baby alpaca and 30% merino. When knitted up the chain becomes invisible, but it allows the yarn to stay soft and springy, while the entrapped air in the chain provides even more warmth than the alpace/merino mix would give you in a traditional twisted yarn construction.
In the same generous bag I got some other beautiful samples... Here you can see an array of different yarn bases in the same gorgeous colour "mineral" - I really want to use them all together in a project to showcase their differences and subtle variations. 
The idea of mixing yarn bases is very popular with Shibui and by looking at all the different hues and textures that one gets in the same colour, I totally understand why!
Shibui Yarn Selection - on knittingtherapy by Rililie
...Of course I had to order some yarn for my next dream projects, too! I am afraid that only by looking at the incredible pictures on the Shibui site one can't help but wanting all of the lovely beauties they have on offer...
Shibui Pebble - on knittingtherapy by Rililie
Pebble in "pollen", "blueprint" and "ash"
Shibui Staccato - on knittingtherapy by Rililie
Staccato in "mineral" and "fjord"
But back to the main idea for this post... I wanted you guys to see and feel for yourself the beauty that is called Maai and I thought that a give-away of a skein of this little wonder is in order: 3 persons that comment on this post will get one skein send to them by post.
A little present from me and Shibui!

To make the whole thing a little more fun I thought of a little game: You just need to continue the sentence of the one person that commented before you. It can be completely irrelevant or stupid, whatever you like. Hopefully we get one extra long ridiculous sentence written by all of us in the end...
... and 2 skeins in the colour "Poppy" and one skein in the colour "Blueprint" will be sent out to three different destinations each, when the time is up.

The winners will be drawn by a random generator 2 days after this post goes live and I will announce the winner at the bottom of this little article when the moment has come!
(I will also write an email to the winners to ask about postal addresses - which can be anywhere in the world - no restrictions!).
Shibui Maai - on knittingtherapy by Rililie
Maai in blueprint wants a new home.
Shibui Maai - on knittingtherapy by Rililie
Maai in Poppy want's one, too!
So... let's start the game!
Who will be the first to start the sentence???
Update on 17th September:
The three winners have been drawn!!!!
(I used a random generator for this difficult task... )

Virginia

Adam

ByGab's
CONGRATS to the lucky winners!!!
Thank you everybody for playing!!!
The long sentence you guys wrote is really fun, sometimes very poetic and quite dreamy... with unicorns and elephants making unexpected appearances!
I loved reading through it and every new comment made me smile!!!!
I couldn't wish for more inspired readers!!!!!
:)
I will write an email to each of the winners right now, to ask about where to send the yarn!!!

Summer Stories

20/8/2014

Summer is almost over... well, not exactly here at the Mediterranean coast with a new heat-wave arriving shortly, but in theory the summer months are coming to their end in the northern hemisphere!
My summer was quite stressful - that's the main reason I have been so silent lately on the blog. 
yarn from Tangled-Yarn UK
I had some knitting related mishaps: My first sample for a magazine submission decided that it didn't want to have stripes and the darker colour bled into the light coloured striping... it bled all over the place and the whole project was ruined in minutes - after weeks of work!
All of this had to happen on a Saturday night - and I found myself searching frantically on the internet for yarn shops that offered express shipping...
(I had to reknit the whole thing immediately since the deadline-clock started ticking louder and louder while my nerves were getting tighter and tighter).
yarn from Tangled-Yarn UK
Well, I can inform you, that there are none! At least I didn't find any online shop that would ship express internationally with a guaranteed arrival of the yarn in a couple of days...

Thankfully I remembered Rachel, the owner of the UK based yarn shop Tangled-Yarn, whom I "met" on the wonderful knitting forum ravelry and I wrote her a freaked out message, telling her what happened and asking her if she would be able to send me the yarn immediately, like... NOW!
Rachel answered on Sunday morning (!) and she had already researched all the possible shipping methods and told me exactly what costs how much and when it would arrive and...
...well, to cut the story short: she totally saved my butt!!!!

So 2 days after that I held the yarn I needed in my hands (and maybe even a little more than I actually needed, I mean... since you pay for express shipping you need to take advantage of it, don't you?)
yarn from Tangled-Yarn UK
Now I am a proud owner of the gorgeous malabrigo Arroyo yarn in prussia blue, glitter and sand bank.

The colours are even better than in the pictures - such beautiful variegation of saturated hues!
And the softness of the yarn is mythical - A true beauty!
yarn from Tangled-Yarn UK
But for the project I needed to start as quickly as possible I chose my trusted old friend: Coast yarn from Holst. I am a little Holst fanatic, I admit it freely - but I just knew that this yarn would neither loose any colour nor provide me with any other bad surprises...  
I re-calculated and re-knitted everything in just under a week....
...and now I can breath again!
yarn from Tangled-Yarn UK
I sadly can't show you anything of the project in question - hopefully you'll see it next year (if it doesn't get lost on the way or anything else).
But I can and will say a huge thank you to the lovely yarn-shop owners out there, that are life saviours whenever a stupid knitter messes up and who listen to all our woes and..
well, provide us with the loveliest yarn ever!
THANK YOU Rachel!!!!!!

The Wonderful Feeling When...

7/7/2014

...you hold the package you recently ordered, full of knitting related goodies!!!
Knit bags & goodies from Fringe Supply CO, La Maison Rililie
No, it wasn't yarn this time (but I am waiting for a shipment of some lovely wool, too... I am addicted to internet shopping, I know)!
This one is probably even better: I bought knitting accessories..... striped project bags, a fancy Japanese yarn clipper and a statement tote from Fringe Supply Co!
Knit bags & goodies from Fringe Supply CO, La Maison Rililie
Isn't the little black yarn-clipper cute? I like the simple "mechanical" no-nonsense look of this one... makes me feel very accomplished when I cut my yarn with gusto!

And although I really didn't need another handbag for my overflowing collection, I had to have this tote! I mean, as a die-hard-knitter one has to share one's conviction and show that we knitter mean business wherever we go...
Knit bags & goodies from Fringe Supply CO, La Maison Rililie
But the main reason for my internet-hunt was the need for a representable project-bag! I had a cloth drawstring bag that I lost somehow and soon found out that it was a really bad idea to keep your knitting without any protection together with all the other random things that accumulate in a large handbag (you know what I am talking about: The Miss-Marple-Effekt of opening a handbag and shoving all kind of meddled clutter on the table). 

I always admired some really beautiful handmade project-bags, where you can store your knitting while on the go without having your yarn and needles all over the place. But most of the ones I found were a little bit too flamboyant and overly decorated for my taste....
 
The ones I got are called Bento-Bags and apparently they can be used as lunch parcels, too... 
or indeed for whatever else you need to keep secure in your handbag. For my part they will have the one and only honourable job to exclusively house my precious WIPs! 
They come in different sizes to hold small project like socks up to whole garments together with lots of yarn! I am thrilled!!!!!

Aren't they cute? Such an easy and practical design... I noticed that I like simple and clean lines with an unfussy shape that's easy to use. 
And Fringe Supply & CO has just this aesthetic that I love!!!
So... now I definitely need to go somewhere just to sport my new tote with my WIP neatly packed in it's lovely project bag, where it belongs!

Fancy a Cocktail Party?

9/5/2014

Comments

 
How about meeting up - you and me and other friends - and having a long and nice chat, while knitting together in a cozy shop full of wool......?????

Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Well... if you are in Berlin this month - we can definitely do something about that!
La Maison Rililie Workshop in Berlin, May 2014
On two Saturdays (the 17th and the 24th of May) we will have 4 hours to meet, discuss, learn, chat and knit together! You will get my e-book "Shaken, Not Stirred!" and we can work through the pattern, start the project and mix and match our own cocktail side by side and needle by needle...

There will be new, detailed material and tutorials on the different techniques used in the pattern and we will work everything out together in German (or English or both... whatever you guys prefer).

The whole event will take place in lovely Berlin (at the bouclé shop) in the Nassauische Strasse 11-12, 10717. You can call Gabriele to book a space or to get more information about the whole workshop (Phone: 030-81853014) or you can write to info@boucle-wolle.de.

I am so excited to actually meet (like really physically meet) you guys.... there are so many ravelry connections and cyber-friends that I have made over the last couple of years - and now I will be able to see and talk with some of you!
This fact alone makes me EXTREMELY happy... 
but anxious, too.... I am feeling a little bit like an adolescent on a first date with a pen-pal!
haha...

Another Wooly Find

30/1/2014

Comments

 
I found some new indy-yarn that really does make a difference:
RosyGreen Wool - Munich
The lovely squishy and incredibly soft yarn that you see here is called Rosy Green Wool.
It's guaranteed 100% organic merino wool, sourced in Patagonia, then spun & environmentally friendly dyed at a small family business in the UK.
I met Rosy (one of the cofounders of this small company) in Munich last december and she gave me this beautiful colour card and a lovely little sachet with the right amount to work up a tiny swatch, which is very helpful if one likes to see how the merino is knitting up and the quality of the fabric it produces!

My little swatch told me that this wool is indeed showing the stitch definition perfectly and that the fabric made out of it has lots of drape and is very soft and buttery to the touch.

I can imagine gorgeous shawls and flowing garments with lots of movement worked out of this yarn.

The colour selection is also very beautiful and I especially like the references to the Munich area that one can find in the names!
RosyGreen Wool - Munich
RosyGreen Wool - Munich
RosyGreen Wool - Munich
RosyGreen Wool - Munich
RosyGreen Wool - Munich
But it's not only the great quality that makes this yarn different!
It is one of the rare merino wools that is certified by the independent, international Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) for it's organic quality, it is machine washable (!) and the colours are not only gorgeous, but also made out of organic dyes that are not harmful: neither to the person that wears the finished object nor to the environment.

On a much more serious note though: Rosy did tell me something else, that I have never heard of before and that disturbed me immensely... As every other industry today, mass yarn production has quite some horrible secrets that are hidden from the consumer, too!

On her website Rosy explains:
"During my research I discovered many interesting but also alarming facts, from the painful mulesing that Merino sheep have to suffer to the large quantities of chemicals and pesticides which are normally used for yarn production. But unfortunately I could not find any organic wool which offers a verifiable guarantee that such things do not occur during the production and which is also really soft and not only available undyed. After what I had found out, it was simply impossible for me to continue knitting with such yarns and feeling good at the same time. The only solution: to produce a yarn myself which would meet all of these criteria."
Read more about how Rosy felt compelled to make her own organic yarn line on her site (in English) or on her blog (in German).

I am very glad that I met Rosy, not only because I got acquainted with her lovely (and sheep friendly) yarn, but most importantly because she opened my eyes to some of the shocking facts surrounding contemporary yarn production!

From now on I will most definitely take much more notes on what yarn I'll be using!

Do you know this sensation? When it's cold and grey outside and you step into a warm and beautiful shop full of soft, cozy, beautifully coloured yarn... the moment when the door behind you shuts and you stop in utter wonder and amazement - feeling like a kid in a candy shop!

Well, I had this same experience 2 days ago, when I visited "Die Mercerie" in Munich for the first time, to meet my dear "internet" friend Marcia there, whom I knew from Ravelry...


(We had tons of fun while chatting, knitting, enjoying our coffe and admiring all the goodies... all without ever leaving this heavenly place)!
