What it means to be a knitwear designer...

These are the "Perfect Fit" knit leggings I'm working on. The work is long and hard (?), but it's so much fun. Using Puma stretch yarn on a 7 gauge Brother machine. This is the set up and I'll have images of the final product as well. Woo hoo! Can't wait.

2010 Hair Color Trends I Love

I want someone to say, "I love your hair!" Don't you? My length was recently so lusciously long that I was actually getting compliments on it. Unfortunately, after making a quick bang trim appointment, the stylist insisted that it need more of a cut and ended up cutting 3" off my length. WTF?! Never again will I make a rush appointment at a random salon for a "trim."

On the upside, hair grows and there's always....color.

Usually when I go for color I work up a little inspiration page to discuss what the colorist and I can come up with. The images below are some ideas that I have.

Keywords: 3-D tones, Pastel, Peeking color

If the cut sucks, the color better rock, that's all I'm saying. Sassoon Salon in NYC on 18th St... pressures on. Let's work it out!

Just a little taste. Can't give too much away. ;)
