I’m Hooked!
Chanel FW13 campaign
When I came across this image from the Chanel FW13 campaign yesterday, I laughed out loud. Not only have my daughters been knitting up a storm this summer, I am totally smitten with crocheted pieces as well. I love the open feel. Although an avowed anti vintage shopper, I found the most incredible crocheted cape below this spring. Throughout the summer I wore it over a swimsuit and shorts and will definitely keep wearing it into the fall.

I am so glad there has been a renewed interest in hand crafts. Passing these skills on to young people is how they stay alive, and for a while it looked like it wasn’t going to happen. Embroidery and needlepoint are also being reenergized.
I also meant to say that’s a great picture of you and your cape!
So funny. This is the last thing in the world I would guess you would like! Usually I love your picks…but this one I’m scratching my head!
Chic And Cozy and Fun. Love with the white jeans and Fendi chunky heeled sandal!
you are cool, chic, and pretty and you should post pictures of yourself (i know you prefer not to)
My grandmother made shawls for everyone back in the 1970’s. I saved two of the baby sets she made and just past one on to my first grandchild. Perhaps I should have held on to the shawls too. Who knew…..
I’m a big knitter as well. It’s like meditation for me. Love your crocheted cape. I have the same Fendi sandals and wear them all the time.
I love the idea of a loose knit poncho over a bathing suit…so unexpected and chic!
