You have to love a modern hand knit. Two glorious bands of richly hued recycled cashmere yarn in a simple knit and purl configuration and you’ve got it!  The Halfsies Scarf by Hiromi Glover for Purl Soho knit up in their Echo Cashmere. Now that the Fall chill is upon us and the holidays are not too far off it might be a good idea to get couple of these on the sticks. One to give and one to keep seems appropriate. You can thank me later.

Old School…New School

August 24, 2016

Carrying a white linen handkerchief is definitely old school. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember. Carrying a handkerchief in a Liberty of London print? Definitely new school. And this print, Black Pepper/gray in the Tana Lawn Classic is the perfect way to shake it up. The small pattern, while not exactly a floral, comes in somewhere between a classic composition book cover and camouflage, and is equally at home in the back pocket of your jeans as it is the breast pocket of a suit jacket.
