Sweatery Mood

Wool neck cowl from LuluCaswell of Etsy.com

Sweaters are something to think about on October 1. Not to mention, it's 20 degrees outside my house this morning. My sweaters from last winter are looking a little worn. I did a bit of on-line cruising over coffee, and here's what I've found. This season's knits seem to be a bit more streamlined, smooth and simple in construction. Look for a classic design in a beautiful, luxurious yarn.
