Scarf Face...

...is the same as the back! My favorite garter stitch makes up a wonderful pattern out of one of my favorite yarns, that I'm using for knitting the longest scarf evah! Lyon Brand Landscapes yarn in "Autumn Trails" has wonderful texture of colors, so perfect for any season, if you ask me ;) 

I couldn't really knit with regular size needles, they were too long and I was moving too slow, so I used some laying around rubber bands, the ones that hold together bunched-up broccoli and salad greens at a grocery store. Maybe it will be helpful for you too, when in need of short needles with single ends: use 2 sock needles, wrapping rubber bands around one of each needle's end, voila! you have a set of short single-ended knitting needles!

Have a wonderful weekend! ;)

You've got to be knitting me!

Folklore

I have always been fascinated with the idea of mixing traditional elements of folklore costumes into modern clothes. They're are so pleasant to wear or just look at, having a history of hundreds of years sometimes. Here, KENZO use parts of Slavic costume - the head scarves, long skirts and belted silhouettes, field flower patterns (love!) and traditionally braided and/or side-parted hair. Brilliant, if you ask me ;) 

Specks of color

Here's beautiful texture of mittens I made. 

Finished Business

The "fur" vest has been finished for some time now, but I haven't had a chance to take a good picture of it.
Here's a close up. It really has a feel of something from the late 60's or even 70's. I can totally imagine the vest worn over practically anything, well, not a suit though... however....hmm :) It is just amazingly warm and cozy, that you don't want to take it off. The loopy fur keeps asking to be touched!
