Knitpicking...


We're lucky to have such a great selection of hand knit items at Vitae, 
and we're not shy about sharing them with you on the blog.
Every once in awhile something really innovative comes along, and often it's our friend Gina aka
Downtown Bow Brown that's behind it...or ahead of it, as the case may be.

The new cowl scarves from DTBB are a clever variation on her necklace scarf design - like those, they offer styling choices that a traditional scarf may not, combined with the serious coverage we sometimes need in a nice manageable package. 
 The back is a full 10" in height, and can be worn opened up or folded over nice and neat....but it doesn't stop there.  You can wear it double thick all around, or let the front drape as you will in layers.
 
 Another option is to wear one band over the ears, and let the other cowl around the neck. 
 What? I know!  She's always thinking, that one.   There are several colors to choose from - there's even one for Hawkeye fans.  We're showing a couple of the neutral ones here. Nice for Guys and gals.

Adore(n) Yourself


Necklace scarves are nifty.  They add texture, color, drama - if you will, to any outfit
and are easily the most justifiable jewelry purchase you'll make this season.  
You don't want to catch a cold now, do you??



Our friend Gina "Downtown Bow Brown" makes these versatile scarves.
 The style in picture 1. above
can be pulled and shaped to suit your mood.  I'm tempted to try cat's cradle* with it 
but try to resist playing with the merchandise.

She also makes adorable chunky hair bows and hoodie scarves for those colder days that 
lie ahead.

*Cat's Cradle
 - you'll need a friend:)
