Inspirations

About a year ago, I discovered on Instagram a community of knitters. Here is what Instagram taught me. ;)

These last months, I’ve been dreaming about countryside, wide spaces, wooden house and quiet life. And I thought it was a bit extreme and that the feeling would go away. But when I discovered these people, I felt like I could live this dream, and I could hear this little voice telling me to slow down and knit :) All of this needs a plan and is not as simple as it looks on IG, but still, I dream.

These Instagramers live this kind of life. Some live in cabins in the wood, some in a flat in a big city, some live from knitting, some have another job, but knit whenever they can. Some are not knitters, but they create (from sewing to cooking, to painting etc…).

The following list gives a few links to instagram pages of my favourite accounts. Let’s dream !

* Woolful from the US

who posted this video about dyeing wool. A soft and dreamy video.

* BMandarines, a french knitter living in Latvia. The atmosphere on her picures is just amazing.

* Ionana , an eco friendly wool maker in Romania

* Timber and Twine  in Australia

* Truly myrtle from New Zealand, a kind and funny lady knitting whenever she can

* Home sweet homestead in the USA

* Woolenviolet  in the US

and lots of others, but it’s a good start !
