Grey Heron bits

One of my customers dropped in yesterday to brighten up my first Sunday working in a while. It's the season to be OPEN all days from Nov 27th to Dec 24th... long haul but it's our shop's way of providing all opportunity for our customers to shop during a busy time. The topic of skirts came up. My friend V loves skirts over leggings, very practical I say since our winter winds can be very harsh. She is currently working on one called Tartan Love. This sweet little plaid number could easily fit over leggings and what a dynamite fashion accessory.   Tartan Love Here's a few other skirts - cables, lace, transitioning colours Dickson - Worsted  Autumn Folige - DK Lanesplitter - Aranish  So, check them out on ravelry - have some fun with style and colours... Thanks V for the great idea!!
