Hot Off the Needles: My Latest Work

Posted on 25 January 2018 by Carrie Cahill Mulligan

With the depths of winter upon us here in New Hampshire, I’ve kept myself busy (playing hockey and) stitching up a storm:

French Knot Mandala

Single Snowflake

Mini Flower

3-Flower-Vine

Single Snowflake

Button Flower

Snowflake, flower or mandala, each design is worked one freehand stitch at a time…

With no two designs ever coming out exactly the same way twice, each of my heirloom handknit hats is guaranteed to be as unique as you. And no hat will keep you as warm in the sleet and snow, I promise!

Come and check them out for yourself from 9am – 2pm this Saturday at the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford, New Hampshire.

Hope to see you there!

Learn about more upcoming shows, or contact me to arrange a personal visit to my home studio in Canaan, New Hampshire.

Inspiration For Embroidery via Snowflake Bentley

Posted on 30 December 2012 by Carrie Cahill Mulligan

Yesterday, northern New England was awash in a snowfall of such fluffy, powdery flakes that I felt a certain kinship with Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley, of Jericho, Vermont, who, in 1885, became the 1st person to photograph a single snow crystal:

“Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others.”
