What's new??? Crochet at Milano's design week 9-13 April 2013

Last week I visited the Milan Design Week in the North of Italy. The land of great food and excellent coffee :-). Milan during this week, is such an inspiring place and definitely this year had a better feel to it than the past few years due to the crisis. But this year lots of lovely ideas were presented with a great finishing. They offered a more luxurious feeling. Recycling was not anymore the main concept.

Of course I was there for work but I have picked up some of the ideas referring to crochet or knitting but in a more advanced or creative way. 
Unfortunately I took hundreds of pictures but I can not remember the designer or company who created these products.

Weekly Inspiration_09: Geometric ideas

When you have a look at Etsy you will find many designers/shops, using geometric designs and prints. Here you can find some of them. They give this artistic and rather unique look to a simple product. A great way to be different from the others ;-)

Simple, Sleek iPhone cover

The other day I have made this simple iPhone cover completely out of cotton. It feels very strong and fits tight around the phone. No button or closing are necessary to keep your phone into this sleeve.

You can grab the pattern from Etsy and diy it yourself or you can find the finished products on Etsy as well. The only thing you will need to do is choose your colour ;-).

Weekly Inspiration _08:: Crochet for the home

I don't know what is wrong with the weather in the South of France lately but it is raining so often, and again after a rainy weekend and one dry day they are predicting rain again for the rest of the week. That is why my 'Weekly Inspiration' goes to crochet projects for the home. Lovely designs that make you forget about the horrible weather outside. :-)

Weekly Inspiration_07: Yellow accents

Last week I went through many interior magazines as I feel spring is almost there and want to change something in my apartment to express summer is on its way :-). Well, I  realised that a big trend this spring is having yellow accents in the interior and in your outfits. Have a look at the examples I have gathered.

Weekly Inspiration_06:: Easter Decoration

I do not want to wait until the last week of March. It is better to be prepared and to know how you would like to decorate the Easter table and to get in the mood for this festive holiday, in the weeks to come.
Here are some images that started sparking some ideas for my interior decorations. ;-)

Weekly Inspiration_05:: Pink and Green

Spring is in the air!! Are you ready for Green and Pink?? It feels like a natural combination as we see it so often in nature. But of course the softer the colors the more easy it seems to wear where as a strong contrast if is often avoided (like picture 3). But look at the cool crochet 'green belt' she is wearing on top of her skirt!! ;-)
