Earning Your Stripes

It has been a long winter of heavy coats, shearling boots and thick scarfs. After several months of this I am in the mood for lighter, wrappy scarves. Some of my favorites are striped scarves and those with lots of tiny fringe. These two recent finds have both! Love this soft cashmere navy scarf from Nordstrom's! Find out details about it here.

Great cozy scarf in rust and black! Perfect neutral color combination. I found it originally on Pinterest. It's from Le Tote. You can take a look here!

Sense of Community

I love the sense of community and positive inspiration you find amongst people who share the same passion. Whether it be knitting or cooking or whatever craft you may hold dear....if it involves taking the time to make it yourself and sharing it with others...there seems to be a common bond. I love the way people encourage each other...offering their own tales of both successes and errors...and sharing what they have learned and come across.

I see the work of other knitters and I'm constantly awed by their endless creativity. A continual example of that is the beautiful creations in the Etsy shop "Fringe". All the work in her collection is amazing and this over sized cowl especially caught my attention. It's from the Urban Decay line and incorporates two lighter weight wool yarns with various vintage fabrics. As someone who lives in skinny jeans, a long sleeved tee and riding boots...I could simply wear this cowl all spring (footnote: please see previous posts this week pertaining to the fact it's still snowing here!!)  Happy Friday! xo
