Ooo La La Paris Neckwear

Okay - this neckwarmer definitely makes a statement!


I knit it with a muli-purple bulky yarn and added the purple ribbon yarn for a few rows. The ribbon yarn is very interesting to work with!

It can be worn on the shoulders as a mini capelet.


Or worn as a neckwarmer by wrapping it twice around the neck.




Here's a closeup of the ribbon yarn - it feels like butter!



The piece can be worn as a scarf/necklace as well.

It reminds me of Paris! See you on Rue Royale!


Au Revoir!

Fall Knits - Lots of Purple!

You've probably noticed that purple is totally in-style for this Fall's fashion!



Here's my latest design - a capelet handknit with super bulky, soft, warm, purple yarn. The knitted stitch throughout the capelet is called the Brioche Stitch.

It's fun to design a pattern as you knit. This one is easy to wear and very warm, without being too bulky and heavy.

You can see it listed in my Etsy Shop - PAfiberartist.

Start knitting! It's life transforming!

Au revoir!
