Blue & Green
These days when it’s still so chilly I’m still wearing a hat inside means I’m also tripping on the internet to fend off ze Cabin Fever.
Right now there’s lots to look at – Fashion Week in Milan for Fall 2015 just wrapped up and I’ve sampled the shows – been busy making some lookbooks for later on Pinterest but mainly just enjoying and absorbing all the intense creativity from the runways.
I read this comment about the Armani show in the New York Times – “Truism: Sweaters are even more comfortable when they’re blue or green.”
Hmm…
Right now, my Stockinette fixation has progressed to a Basic Chic Hoodie in…lovely Turquoise…or as it says on the label: DUCK EGG which has always been one of my favorites. Just maybe, they’re right! I certainly am mesmerized and calm while I’ve been knitting this.
And as we all know, here at Studio Chic Knits, at some point every sweater gets a turn on the fit mannie. :)
Friday Postcards
Into the Wild: one of my favorite things is to see all the wonderful gear knitting folks wear to go play in the chill.
On the left: from a trip to Cordova, Alaska, this summer – on the Copper River by Child’s Glacier. Abigail and her adorable daughter Lillian joined all the activities throughout the week at the Fiber & Friends Retreat and delighted everybody with their smiles! This time, we were all hiking in our knitwear – it’s a little chilly out there on the glacier but we’re cozy!
(Before the retreat, we had a KAL for the He Said She Said Cap – you can see my KAL Cap here…)
On the right: from the Yarniacs Podcast group on Ravlery, here’s Celeste’s hubby while they were out hiking in the aspens in Flagstaff, AZ.
