christmas in july


I'm eagerly anticipating cooler weather for one reason and one reason only - my new cashmere mitts. They're from the beautiful collection of Gris Handknits by beautiful creator Nicole Dupuis. I love her subtle colors and elegantly simple designs. 

Lose yourself in the photos and stories on her wonderful blog coco knits, I bet it will make you wish for cooler days too.

    I am jealous. I don't see any more on her website. Perhaps in the fall? They are every bit as beautiful as your creations!

    Aren't they exquisite?! I'm sure she'll re-stock but she also does custom orders, you can convo her on Etsy. And thank you, Judith!

    Aww I applause your purchase, Phoebe ! Nicole is a friend of mine, and I had the very luck to meet her last summer when I visited Canada ! She is as sweet & beautiful as her knits are. She is very talented, and simple and true to herself. So glad you treated yourself with such a quality item ! Happy summer ! ox

    Hi Sonia! What a small world but so fitting that you and Nicole know one another, you both have such warm spirits. I am even luckier than you think...Nicole and I did an exchange and she made these mitts especially for me. I feel quite fortunate indeed! Happy Summer to you too x

    oh then, it's even better ! Trades (swaps, exchanges ...) are such a human & warm thing to do, far away from mass-made & consumerism ! Yay for both of you ! ox

    Those are gorgeous! And so is her blog and shop. Thank you for the introduction to another remarkably talented artist. Takes one to know one, as they say. ;) I have wild fantasies about being able to knit like that.

    XO, Kristin
