Fashion Friday: Day off
Written on May 17, 2013 at 4:21 pm, by Amy
The silver lining to a grueling, 9-hours-of-sleep-in-two-days kind of business trip is the ability to take Friday off from my day job, and spend a morning puttering around and making my house my own again. I’ve really been enjoying the day, and am now super-ready for an afternoon with the boys and a dear dear Continue Reading

Fashion Friday: Wearing Hand-Knits
Written on May 3, 2013 at 10:02 pm, by Amy
This week in Fashion Friday, I wanted to focus on the hand-knit. And specifically, on how we wear our hand-knit sweaters. Oftentimes, we tend to wear our handiwork as art. And there’s some truth to that! It takes skill, and perseverance, and love to make the things we make. We should be proud of them. Continue Reading
Fashion Friday: Love affair with the heel.
Written on April 26, 2013 at 6:37 pm, by Amy
I know, I know. Heels are evil, you say. Health problems! Oppressive and restrictive pictures of what it means to be beautiful! I know. But I love mine. (Skirt: A recent Banana Republic sale find. Tee: Also Banana, can’t find a link now though. Sandals: Born.) Heels visually stretch out my foot and make it Continue Reading
Fashion Fridays: The wider, the better.

The week is continuing as it began, baffling and saddening. Our towns are in lock down. The future is uncertain. In light of today’s events, today’s stop on the Knit to Flatter blog tour, my nearby friend Thea’s blog, is postponed until the end of the tour. Please join us for tomorrow’s stop, hosted by Continue Reading
Fashion Friday: Deep Necklines
Written on April 12, 2013 at 6:32 pm, by Amy
This week, I wanted to explore a topic near and dear to my heart: Deep necklines. Deep necklines break up your torso into lots of different sections, shortening its appearance and visually grouping the bust up with the head, rather than down with the waist. I love them. But what if you want the benefits Continue Reading
New series: Fashion Friday

My passion for knitting, in addition to giving me something to do with my ever-fidgeting hands, is really all about my passion for clothing. I love clothes. I love the way they change our appearance, I love the way they can reflect my mood. I love the way they can change my mood, if it Continue Reading

Sweater Weather
Written on August 30, 2012 at 12:43 pm, by Amy
The crisp chill of fall is undeniable in Boston this week. We sleep with all of the windows in the house wide open, and this morning getting out of bed even gave me a few goosebumps! The anticipation of sweater weather has given the knit-a-longs I’m running for Caulfield and Trimmings a great energy. This Continue Reading
