Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
Warm but not bulky, these fingerless gloves feature a long cuff of fitted tweed and tweed accents that frame a scaley stitch around the palm. A slight slouch at the wrist compliments the graphic texture of the stitches.

Knitting: Cowl
A rustic cowl that can be worn around the neck or as a hood. Simple solid and lace stripes create a textured look that reminds me of fields of wheat rippling in the breeze.

Crochet: Legwarmers
Using a simple lace pattern, these knee-high leg warmers increase to go around the calf before decreasing to form a smaller band that holds the leg warmer in place. This gives them a fitted look that is sophisticated and functional. Great for over jeans, tights or leggings.
