Thanks a lot for your comments and "likes" (on facebook) we are so happy that you love the new collection ! We can't wait to see the new patterns follow you to the beach, lovely summer nights, etc... Send us pics as soon as you can !

I'm sorry that the blog went really slow this past few weeks as we were working on an updated version, including our friends links and little changes in the design so that you'll be aware of everything at any time ! I'm also currently working on a interview of our fashion muse, Nadège Winter, talking about her inspirations and this fall next step with great surprises (should be online next week!)

In order to give you a little something to be patient, here is a cool pic that Nadège send me, one of our favorite bands, MGMT seems to enjoy knitting as a really cute knitted headband appeared in their last and really weird video on the head of the sweetest but traumatized kid ever ! A really nice idea if you go to a music festival this summer, embroid a Nina Rich headband with the name of your favorite band ! That rocks !

By the way don't forget our "Knit In Public" contest ! Send a crazy pic, video or drawing about this theme and win a Tala Tank Top kit ! Few more days till the end of the competition (till sunday 5) so don't waste a second ! More information here.

Aurelie and the gang from Peru

woolandthegang-peru-knitters-01

As part of our itinerary for each collection, Peru is always a very important stop for us ! Our knitwear designer Aurelie, from NYC studio, meets the peruvian knitters of Puno and works with them to knit new patterns for collection photos and all ready-to-wear pieces ! Here's a little message from her :

Buenos Dias everybody,

Here are some pictures of the future cotton collection !

It is freezing here... but I really enjoy spending time with the knitters. We teach each other new techniques, we laugh and stress at the same time. I enjoy PERU!

Here are the name of all the knitters who I work with everyday, there are so nice and you should see how skillful they are.. Catalina, Segundina, Graciela, Martina, Pelegrina, Esperenza, Edelmira, Efigenia. All the women in Puno learned how to knit when they were really young. As Elena (the knitters gang's chief) said "All the women in Puno know how to knit, if they don't they don't come from Puno".

I hope everyone is well.

It is hard to breath at 3800m. Am I old?

Bisous à tous

A.
