Martin's Marvellous Mette

-
ha ha ha....alliteration, you gotta love it!

on a bright, but not sunny, cold day
Mette + Muddy = a rather warm combo!

Seriously, I thought I'd be freezing with a short-sleeved
 sweater over a long-sleeved cotton T shirt!

(so hard to get the right exposure)

I love this no button, knee length "duster" coat!

I was ridiculously warm....but when I took that scarf off,
boy was my neck cold!

Moral of the story? Your Mother was right...
Always wear your hat and scarf!

(you can tell, I am happy with my "Mette" cardigan!
and I love my "Muddy" scarf!)

Details:

Mette from the Brushed Fleece Collection by Martin Storey

Rowan Brushed Fleece Yarn
(I used shade 252, Cavern)

Muddy from "North" by Kim Hargreaves

in Rowan Brushed Fleece and Rowan Fur

It's another snowy March day here!
While Lackie and Daisy LOVE IT!
Me...well, I'm dreaming of Spring and
looking at the new S/S designs....trying
to decide what to make my next project!

Happy Knitting!

    It's beautiful Anne! And a perfect fit! Aren't you glad you still have some winter left so you have a chance to wear it? :-)

      Hi Kristie! Well, that is one way of looking at it :) but you are right...this sweater scarf combo was made for the snow. I can't tell you how warm this scarf is! My down coat has been getting a lot of wear this year....and this scarf is just too warm to wear with it! The scarf looks great with my leather jacket, and it looks fabulous with this sweater! I am envious of your early Spring out there on the West coast Kristie.......you have a lot of sweater wearing weather out there :)

    Love the pictures, love the yarn, love the duster (and I haven't heard that word in ages!), but really love your hair. It's so thick, what product please? Or is it a wig? :)

      Kristen, you cracked me up with the "Or is it a wig? :) ha ha ha....no, it's all mine :)

      This is right after a wash and blow dry.....I have thick dry hair and my best hair day is actually day 2 or sometimes day 3 after a wash. I have recently started using a new shampoo that helps calm my wavy hair...Smooth by Moroccan Oil....and I have noticed that my wavy hair is easier to blow dry. These photos really highlight the ombre effect I seem to have developed recently...the top is much lighter than the hair on the back of my head. I got the red hair from my Dad, but I'm going grey like my Mom...from the front back...so at the back it is a bit darker....giving the ombre look. Thanks for asking...I think :)

Rolling Thunder Gauntlets Fluency Gloves Dryad, by Sivia Harding for Twist Collective, Winter 2009 a personal favourite right now :) Lumen, by Sivia Harding for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 4! Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor...
