28 January 2013 · by lacey · in Knitting

Resolve

7 January 2013 · by lacey · in Knitting, Sentiment

Aside from the 365 project, I haven’t made any real resolutions for 2013. Frankly, 2012 was a pretty great (and healthy) year. We went vegetarian for about half the year and really only eat meat a few times a month…

Norwegian Fishnet Socks

6 June 2012 · by lacey · in Knitting

These were supposed to be polka dots, but my friend Beth dubbed these my Norwegian Fishnet Socks. I decided Totally Trendy Tangerine Tango Norwegian Fishnet Socks was more accurate, but it’s a bit of a mouthful. The self-striping yarn was…

I just want to keep you warm.

I'm Lacey Volk, a knitter and general homebody from Pittsburgh, PA. I believe in beautiful and well-made things, crafted with intention, and I have a modern aesthetic with a vintage bent. Volkstricken Industries is an on-going chronicle of my knitting, designing, and other creative adventures.

I'm currently attempting a 365 Days of Pattern drawing project, and am designing knitting patterns for release throughout 2013. Stay tuned!
