Last year I watched the ABC series ‘Stargazing’. Since then I have rediscovered the love of looking up & looking at the stars. I love looking up in my backyard & looking at the positions & trajectory of planets. Many a night, this is where you’ll find me, stargazing. Most summer nights, here I didn’t need to keep my neck warm however once we entered February, I needed a light cowl. The lacy stars & single tuck patterns reminded me of the twinkling stars in the sky. I kept the edge loose with brioche so I didn’t overheat however at the same time, kept my neck & top of chest warm.
