| My New Knit Line Hand Made by Dore Callaway, BurlapLuxe. Soon in my etsy shop I will be adding my knits. This Lumbar knit with a feather down insert is 28" x 14" 1/2 and ties with knit at its opening. "Nordic Knits" and "Prairie Knits" by hand I have been creating with wools since the age of 8 where my Nordic grandmother on my moms side sat with me late nights teaching me how to hold the needles, and hooks. Its been so inspiring to me to see the strong come-back in knit home decor, and the Nordic French strong influence and character the knits add to a rural rustic home. Inspiring a natural home. |

I hope, you are healing fast, looking at this magic corner, you created, have a wonderful weekend, your friend Méa, who will fight with a biiiiig chandelier today ;))
What a beautiful entry to welcome family and friends. Of course, I'm loving the tall glass paned door. Every element says, Welcome to a peaceful, calming of the soul home!
Your knitted lumbar looks so cozy and warm.

Your Nordic knit pillow is amazing, you do great work and your knit wares will sell well, esp since it has been soooo cold! That pillow would fit well into my off white universe. : - )
Happy New Year, ma'am!
The color of the knit lumbar pillow fits right in with the drop cloth colors everyone loves today.
I can see it on a black and white sofa or bed cover also.
My cat can see it in his bed LOL
I admire your talent in knitting
Dear Dore. The door looks perfect in your beautiful home. I also love the pillow you made. So fun that you learned to knit as a young girl, I did too, and it`s so fun too. (if it`s easy, smile).
Have a wonderful new week
Hugs from here
Love the door with the branch. And your new knits, Doré.
Absolutely lovely, as always.
Hugs,

What a nice legacy and how very blessed you are to be carrying it on in your grandmother's memory. Your new knit pillow is beyond lovely and so very special dear Dore. Your grandmother's heart is happy in heaven. Have a blessed day.
Love the tall paneled chippy door Dore! You do have a knack for finding great treasures and making them fit in your home. I love your knitted pillow too and will check out your shop!
Lovely knits....love the door too. Been looking for one for my bathroom main door. I found two large tall narrow windows that I keep in there but still need the main door, which I would frost.
Doré,
A magnificent introduction to your Nordic style knits, There is nothing as tactile and comforting than a hand knitted throw or pillow. Just looking at it is like a gentle hug. So looking forward to your new line of beauty.
Love the 10 panel door announcing a soulful welcome to your entry. Doré I notice more drama and more mood... You know me the lover of moody dramatic pieces so I'm excited and stirred emotionaly by this post.
Your heart and soul is beautifully shown in every creative piece you make. I am so intrigued with your new Madonna alter. In it you captured the essence of peace.
Sending love,
Vera
The window is perfect, and the pillow is so gorgeous! Have a wonderful New Year Dore:)
Dore, what a gift to have mastered knitting!
I love the story of your grandmother and you. She would love that you are using those gifts she shared with you today in your own designs....
I'm with you loving that some of these treasured arts are being appreciated once again
.
Beautiful.... I can't wait to see more of your work!
A lovely Sunday morning to you.

Maybe we can talk. But yes, I did it. Time to move on. Much love, Anita
Truly a woman of many talents! Love your new pillow line. I love the Goethe quote too. Seeing unique beauty is one of your gifts as well. Lovely vignettes here!

work. yvonne
What a treasure, your new old door!! Beautiful styling, too, Dore. Thanks for sharing your lovely world with us - cheers
The door is gorgeous in its simplicity. I love the knitted trend: it makes a room feel instantly comfortable and comforting (I'm thinking something like baby blanket comfort).
Magali, I am doing baby throws as well.
Thank you dear you joy my day.

What a gorgeous home. So fresh and inviting. I love the knitted pillow too. It is lovely.

How lucky you are to have such great memories of knitting with your grandmother :-)
Hi Dore!
Thanks for your comment on my blog! Yes I did have Google translate, but it seems to have disappeared somehow. Glad you told me! I fixed it! :)
Thank you so much, your blog looks lovely too! Very much like a Jeanne d'Arc magazine :)
Lovely knitted pillow!
Hugs, Hanna
Dore,
Your hand knit pillow is beautiful. Of course, I love everything in your house...wood, neutrels, the window panel door, carved armchair, ... so much to love.
I am glad to hear you are getting better.
Judith
Oh, your Nordic knit pillow is simply beautiful, Dore. The memory of knitting with your grandmother is so special. I can picture it in my mind. A grandmother lovingly handing down a craft to her precious granddaughter. It makes me smile. Hugs, Nancy
Hey there Dore, your new door is stunning - beautifully distressed. I love your knit pillow too, how wonderful to be able to create something so lovely. My Aunt just sent me two pair of knit socks and they are by far my favorite. Good luck with your new shop.
Sally
Dore, your knits look
so beautiful, so Nordic
and so you. Will most
definitely look for them.
Happy 2015

You are such a great stylist Dore. I love the way you casually draped that twig on the window frame as if it were purely by accident...such a great composition. I love the textural quality of your new knits...fabulous!
the knits are DIVINE. i am amazed at your handiwork and will definitely have to add these to my life as they will fit in perfectly!
love to you from hawaii where i am relaxing, filling up my soul, and of course finding time to paint and create!
peace.
As someone with a love for Nordic style, I love seeing the trend this year so far and I especially love it because it is so easy to incorporate into other styles. Beautiful photos.
this is gorgeous!

Oh Dore I love that 10-pane door in your entry and I just adore your knitted pillow cover! I'm so into chunky knits these days. Yours is gorgeous. Happy knitting to you!
Oh my Dore, this is my first visit to your blog. Stunning with a capital S!!! I look forward to following you.
