Whats New This Season!

Part hat, part kerchief, this gorgeous topper with two extended ties can be worn many ways.

Two color bomber jacket with a zip-up front and a sporty shape.

This cropped vest may be small but wide garter stitch lapels add plenty of posh texture.

A playful set of matched accessories.

A crocheted hat is adorned with a ribbon and a knit cowl ties neatly with two sewn-on ribbons.

Slightly ballooned sleeves and a dramatic drop shoulder keep this otherwise simple pullover interesting.

A poncho-pullover hybrid with pointed cuffs that are turned up and buttoned in place.

An open front cardigan with a truly dazzling bobble encrusted shawl collar.

A double breasted coat with dramatically wide ribbed button bands, a notched collar and a round yoke worked in reverse stockinette.

Purlieu - One of a kind cowl for you to knit

2010-08-31T04:34:00.000-07:00

Purlieu has the benefits of a cowl because there are no loose ends dipping into the soup, getting caught in the bike spokes, or constricting like a boa.
The ones with buttons require two hands to put on or take off, which I always end up needing to do while juggling a purse and morning coffee.
Purlieu has a wide fan on one end that tucks into the loop on the other end; after a couple tries, you'll be able to do it one-handed!
