When frozen out of my unheated glass studio, I keep creating to keep the inspiration flowing for when the studio thaws out. Curious about cashmere, I bought a few skeins of Debbie Bliss 100% Cashmere yarn on sale at Webs. I wanted to create a one of a kind piece so I made my own crochet pattern.
Such lovely yarn deserved something special. So I hunted around until I found the perfect finishing touch – a lovely artist made button called A Button Succeeding from Mamacita Beadworks on Etsy. I’d say this lovely button has succeeded, wouldn’t you?

This is a beautiful neckwarmer, very soft looking and wintery.

One other thing…you can’t go wrong with cashmere, I haven’t knitted with it but I’ve seen some beautiful creations (it’s sooo
expensive)..and one other thing I love the scallops on the ends.
