Babylon Leather pen case

Babylon Leather case

I have been intrigued by Babylon Leather’s kits for quite awhile, but wanted to start small to see how it went.

I was amazed by how complete the kit was and how easy it was to put together.

In less than an hour I had learned a new-to-me stitch and made this really cool pen case!

And, I really enjoyed the process.

Meditation Wrap

Meditation Wrap

Working on this wrap is a beautiful tactile textile meditation. The yarn is absolutely stunning and the colors just sing in every stitch. The drape and luxurious feel are unparalleled and this wrap is certain to become a treasured heirloom. Knitting with silk requires a bit more attention and that invitation to slow down makes this wrap a perfect project for a daily stitching meditation. Of course it’s gorgeous to wear, too!

Meditation Wrap

Knit using Mora from Malabrigo Yarn. Shown in Wabi Sabi.

Meditation Wrap

Wrap measures approximately 21 x 86 inches.
