Blue Moon Fiber Arts is a company based out of Portland, Oregon, which produces a beautiful variety of hand-dyed yarns. It is owned and operated by Tina Newton, our client who runs the Hop Studio’s designed Rockin’ Sock Club Blog. The company recently launched a re-design of their main business site and approached Hop Studios about integrating a blog within the new design.

The design is based on the existing site with minor tweaks to give the blog its own look and feel, and is built in ExpressionEngine. Tina wanted to do the usual stuff with a blog—post text and photos—but she also wanted to find a way to feature some of the photos she uses for design inspiration when creating new yarn colors. The result is an extra large photo header on the blog that she can change as she finds new photos and use to refresh the look of the blog at the same time. We paired the photo with a fun logo of a crow with some knitting needles and yarn to differentiate the blog from the rest of the site.
