DIY :: Eames-Inspired Drinking Glasses

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was working on a TOP SECRET project for Curbly.  Well, the cat's out of the bag, the beans have spilled, and I'm singing like a canary... in other words, I posted my project this morning: some sweet Eames-inspired drinking glasses!  I break it all down on Curbly, so head over there for the full how-to.

Modern Baby Blankets :: The Purl Bee

I spotted these incredible baby blankets over on The Purl Bee and just about died.  Forget froofy blankets with flowers/animals/trains/cars/trucks/etc. ad nauseam, this is my kind of baby blanket.  Of course, I don't have babies, so I'd really prefer this in an adult-sized version.  One commenter suggested knitting all nine together to create one mega blanket.  Now that's a kindred spirit.

These modern baby blankets are available as a kit for $116, which includes 7 skeins of specially-dyed Alchemy Temple yarn, a full color printed pattern, and a Shout Color Catcher to use the first time you wash your blanket.
