U-knit decorations

Everything about the Christmas holiday season makes me buy into the kitschiness of it all. Which is why when I heard Baftani was hosting an event call Knit & Eat, I had to jump on the chance to make it festive!

As a designer, there is a slight hoarding tendencies in me, especially when it comes to paper. For decorations, I like to use scrap materials saved from over the years, left over wrapping paper, old magazines, shirt fabric to reduce creating new waste.

For this Knit & Eat event I wanted to create a cozy, artisan atmosphere. Triangle fabrics flags and yarn pom-poms hung across the room can create that intimate mood by lowering the ceiling.
These zig-zag paper ladders were so easy to deck out any room.

This past saturday afternoon started with Lauren on some light stretching, ate homemade treats, all the while knitting with the talented Pegah and company.


Recipes for these unconventional party dishes seen below can be found on Lauren's website. I definitely recommend trying them out for the upcoming holiday parties as a healthier alternative, especially the Black Bean Brownie Bites, sounds weird but oh-so-delish!
