Ever & Then

Come fall, I always feel like knitting. Don’t know what it is, but I find it to be so relaxing.

(It also reminds me of my mother, who taught me how to knit, which I love!)

A friend of mine recently introduced me to Wool And The Gang and I’m in LOVE.

Founded by Lisa Sabrier and Carolyn Main in 2007 out of Lisa’s desire to rebel against “mass-consumption” and Carolyn’s passion for other countries and cultures, Wool And The Gang is the hip girls way of tapping into tradition without compromising personal style/fashion.

You can buy kits containing everything you need from yarn (produced deep in the heart of Peru’s Andean Highlands), needles, patterns, and accessories.

My favorite kit from this season’s collection is the Nirvana Chic Sweater. 

“The asymmetric Nirvana Chic Sweater is ultra sexy. Falling off your shoulder, it’s the boss of faulty sweaters, giving it a grunge look and removing the hang-ups of the clumsiest of knitting needles. It’s sheer and disproportionate, and that, of course, was the intention. Our alpaca yarn comes from populations bred in the Andean Highlands, making their wool extremely strong, elastic, soft and fine. Treat your skin with this ravishing yarn and its hypoallergenic and thermal properties.”
