Knitted Neck Warmers, a.k.a. Snoods

Burberry Prorsum Milan Autumn/Winter 2009 collection

- that neck piece is actually fur, not knitting.

This is a very easy look to duplicate at a more inexpensive cost.

Check out a new trend featured on Elle UK. These are easy to make as well, with a circular knitting needle and your favorite chunky yarn.

My New Favorite Knitwear in High Fashion Blog - knitkicks

I stumbled upon knitkicks today while surfing the web, and I must admit, I am already learning so much from this blog that started only a year ago. Even though I know about the designers featured on knitkicks, it is always a treat to read someone else's opinion on topics I admire. knitkicks gives much deserved attention to knitwear and knitted accessories on the catwalk. Another reason to read this blog is the fact that the images are big and great quality. Take my word for it, you WILL enjoy this blog.

Vicuna Fiber

Vicuna wool coat designed by Norman Norell

Vicuna is the finest and softest wool on earth. It is also the most expensive fiber you can find.


"Current prices for vicuña yarns and fabrics can range from $1,800 to $3,000 per yard. Vicuña fiber can be used for apparel (such as socks, sweaters, accessories, shawls, coats, and suits) and home fashion (such as blankets and throws). A scarf costs around $1500 while a man's coat can cost up to $20,000." - Wikipedia
