Vancouver: Larry, Grace and Terri

By Jennifer Campbell

Though we’ve started peppering our site with the signs of spring fashion, one look out the window will tell you that we’re still in the throes of winter. Luckily for us, designers sent superbly oversized knits down the fall runways.

In the same vein, designer and founding editor of theconveyorbelt.com Terri Potratz has created a line of eco-aware knits to keep out the chill. Larry is a collection of chunky scarves, shawls and cowls hand-knit with B.C. alpaca by Potratz herself.

Tonight (January 8), Terri brings Larry to Vancouver’s Grace-gallery (1898 Main St., 604-839-5780, grace-gallery.com). There will be twelve pieces on display, including the Gracey, which Potratz collaborated on with gallery director Rachel Zottenberg. Says Zottenberg: “One of my favourite definitions of grace is the seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form or proportion.  Terri’s pieces encapsulate this.  They look beautiful alone on the gallery walls and they’re your favourite to wrap yourself in every day.”

The show runs until January 21, so you’ve got two weeks to go and play with the pieces—Potratz even encourages you to try them on. (Try that at the Vancouver Art Gallery.) Drop by tonight and you get drinks and live music out of the deal.

Larry is available in Vancouver at Two of a Few (356 Water St., 604-605-0630, oneofafew.com) or you can contact the designer through wearelarry.com.
