Slip Stitch Cowl

Another cowl!

This cool spring invites to knit something warm.

Here in the North even summer evenings can be cool so scarfs and shawls in a lot of colors and shapes are indeed good to have.

  

The pattern is from madelinetosh and is available for

free download. 

 

 

The yarn 'Pashmina' is gorgeous.

Merino, silk and cashmere.  

The simple slip stitch pattern creates a dense texture 

with a supple drape.

  

 

 

The shade is 'ink'.

I thought for a while before a chose the color.

Blue is coming back into my life.

 

A Shimmering Shawl

This shawl is so useful.
An accessory for both everyday use or special occasions.

Nice, warm and very wearable.

 

 

A plain design becomes elegant in this shimmering yarn from Sublime.

 

 

The closure is clever.

A knitted leaf is drawn through a hole .

Simple and ingenious!

 



An Embracing Scent

If a perfume is universal in the sense of 'suits all anytime and anywhere', then it is this.

A fantastic fragrance that is both sensual, playful, mystic, innocent, elegant, alluring and pleasant.

A so called masterpiece.

 

 

Tocade from Rochas, created 1994

 

The bottle has a playful design that perfectly completes this multifaceted oriental floral fragrance.

 

The refreshing opening with green notes, bergamot and geranium turns into a refined and elegant bouquet

of jasmine, orris, magnolia, orchids and roses.

When the sweatness from the flowers slowly eases, a lingering warm soft and powdery scent of vanilla with a touch of fresch cedar and rich and deep amber unfolds.

 

Calm and embracing. 

 

 

 Precious drops.

A gift to me.
