Finds

Admittedly, one of the things that's so fun about designing knitwear is photographing it, and finding the right way to photograph knitting is a daunting task indeed. OK, so no, no, no: that's not the fun part at all; the fun part is finding something on Ebay to pair your knits with and then photographing your knits.


I was outbid on this dress last year. I'm fairly certain it's the same dress, and it might even have been sold to me by the bidder who dashed it away in last summer's hectic bidding war. Imagine how excited I was to find it again. It goes perfectly with my Aeolian Harp wrap.

This purchase was inspired by my mother, who recently unearthed a wonderful series of mid-sixties slides of herself in fashionable Villager tops and dresses. I used to be able to find shirts like this for .50 in any thrift shop, but you're lucky if you get it for less than 10.00 now. I wore all of mine to pieces years ago.


I'm pairing it with Emma's City Beret.



I'm not sure what I'll use this one for, but I liked the colors and the pattern. The seller says it's handmade.


Sold.
