It’s not officially the end of summer, but the end of my 12 weeks of Friday links. This summer has been hot, but chock full of road trips and cookouts and wandering in the rain and new adventures, so I can’t complain too much. That being said, I’m really going to be glad to see my old cardigans and yarn (that’s been too hot to work with) again. But I will miss all the brightness of summer and the joys held within it.

*The photography of Robert and Shana Parke-Harrison leaves me a bit breathless, in the way their work creates a whole new world that looks almost close enough to touch.

*Redefining Craft is true to its title.

*Even though I can’t read what the website says, that doesn’t mean I’m not astounded by Felieke Van Der Leest!

*Ridiculously, I just found out about September Action today. Although that doesn’t mean I’m not going to be here if I’m in the States. Anyone care to meet me for some political crafting?

*On the music tip, believe the hype about Birmingham’s The Editors. They have been keeping me going all day. Hot damn!

*How lovely is Nylon magazine’s Style Watch page? Go get your voyeuristic groove on. Or atleast go see what people cooler than you are wearing.

*Also fun is Japanese Streets, which claims to be “150% cool,” despite that being statistically impossible…

*As someone who tends to do her fair share of complaining, The Complaint Project is a site after my own heart. Although I’d like to complain it needs to be updated more.

*One day, aprons will rule the world, I’m sure of it. If you need further proof, check out Tie One On.

*Blame it on that Russell Crowe movie (which made me cry), but I’ve been obsessed with vintage boxing poses recently. See how cool they really are over here.

p.s. happy summer!
