Friday Freebies A Day Late...
It's cold and drizzly here - a blunt reminder that summers are short and fall is never far off. If you live where it's still nice and hot - my compliments, but I'm thinking about something cozy for today's Friday Freebies!
With or without the fringe, I love this Provence Striped Top from Classic Elite Yarns! Perhaps it's the fresh bright colors contrasting with the gray, perhaps it's the wide cowl collar, all I know is it's quite a classic piece! However, being of the "old and cold" generation I couldn't see myself wearing it without sleeves - even a 3/4 or bracelet length. I could even see myself replacing the yarn fringe with a beaded fringe for some real funk! This top proves that stockingette still rules! Knit in a soft, every day kind of yarn you'll wear this top a lot!
If you're not quite ready to wear a sweater every day, how about something to pull on when it's nippy in the evening, or windy? Knit this Divi Adult Hoodie from Caron Naturally in your favorite cotton or cotton blend for a ruggedly durable, any-situation-wear wardrobe staple! Only maybe not in white... maybe something that won't show every fingerprint or park bench you've been near recently! LOL!! I really think cotton wins out over wool on this one, unless maybe it's a wool/cotton or /silk blend. This is a long garment and if it stretches and sags a bit in cotton it's not a tragedy. Wool, I think, would wear too much on the bottom at the back. Cheers all! Enjoy! :)
