Beanies Baby! (with a Twist!)

***

It's that time of year. It's finally gone from the cool fall temperatures to colder Christmas-y temperatures! Beanies become a winter staple, so I decided to spice up the traditional beanie with a little but of style!

At this time of year, thrift stores and consignment shops become inundated with discarded sweaters. You can find a super lux cashmere sweater, discarded because of a tiny hole. Why not give this discarded cashmere a new life! Now friends also pass along sweaters they can no longer wear and I have quite the stash of cozy fabrics.

I am so happy with how these are coming out!

Another twist - this cozy style has plaid wool from a recycled vintage skirt, lined in soft merino wool!

How about flannel from a recycled men's shirt, lined in soft merino wool!

'Tis the Season! It's Cold Out! (and Getting Cozy in the Workshop)

It's Holiday time in NYC, and even though it's getting very cold out- the lights and decorations around the city can be truly infectious. The busy Holiday season inspired me to create some cozy gift-ables that you can truly feel good about- winter accessories made entirely with repurposed materials. In the workshop right now; I'm making some beanies from reclaimd wool, cotton, and cashmere sweaters, along with some lux plaid scarves with classic and gorgeous vintage Pendleton fabrics.

Also, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I'm leaving you with a few pictures from ours in Rhode Island. We spent the weekend at a beach house with family and friends that feel like family. The lovely views didn't hurt either!
