A new look!

I'm so excited to roll out my brand new logo today!  I contacted Jill Zielinski of Jill Zielinski Designs (also of Kniterella fame!) back in March about creating a logo for yours truly.  I had a pretty good idea in my brain about what I wanted to convey....I wanted to combine my love for my surroundings here in Alaska with my passion for knitting.

While there are many things that come to mind when I dream of knitting in Alaska, the themes that kept coming back to me were mountains and yarn.....wait for it....MOUNTAINS OF YARN! Of course.

Initially I had pictured small balls of yarn that were piled up in the shape of mountain peaks...literally mountains made of yarn.  It seemed to make sense in my brain but it just didn't translate well on paper.  Jill, being the awesome graphic designer that she is, helped lead me away from that hare-brained well-intentioned really kind of strange idea and towards the awesome final product that you see today.

I think what I like most about the logo is that the ball of yarn seems to be writing the mountain peaks in cursive.  Such a unique (and much better) way to depict mountains made of yarn.  I can't even tell you how much I love my new look.

Ahhhhhh. It feels like a new beginning. So many cool things coming up in my design realm....and you can add another one to the list...just got another acceptance today!
