Working on the warmies, new styles for 2014

The latest creations are clearly in response to the winter season. With a weaver friends help in selecting some wonderful mohair at a fiber festival in NY, the latest shawl was just finished.










The latest winter hat style is totally UN slouchy, unlike last year's model. 
This is snug and yet puffy on top, almost Nordic.



I am working on the second one and have an order waiting.
