green diy

i love warm woolies on cold nights and it's been plenty cold in my neck of the woods. for a "mild" climate, there's been plenty of snow this winter. so i've been yearning for warm caps, cozy sweaters, and thick socks.

but how to get fashionable eco finds without breaking the bank? in the last week, i've been on a mission to learn how to knit. i know i can make scarves; i used to knit them when i was little, but i am dismally out of practice. so i've ordered a couple of the stitch 'n bitch books, bamboo knitting needles and some necessary accessories. i am now a woman on a mission.

i'm aware that there are a number of companies that specialize in eco-yarns (hand maiden fine yarn, vermont organic fibre company, earth friendly yarns) and continue on the search for more. i'll let you know how my projects turn out.
