Working at Purl Soho, I have a front row seat to the parade of effortlessly chic people that give our neighborhood its renowned style. From here I can report that, for men and women alike , this season' s prevailing trend in neckwear is the bandana. J auntily tied around the neck, it tops off everything from Sunday's T -shirt and jeans to Friday's night-on-the-town dress! The bandana is a sassy, casual touch that suggests that the wearer possesses an innate stylishness.

My mum found out about this charity from the Rural (a Scottish version of the Women's Institute) and brought home a pattern. So many people are affected by the loss of babies so when I was offered an opportunity to do something small to help people going through this I decided to give it a shot. They really wanted all the blankets to be white seeing as that is quite neutral and respectful so I tried pretty hard to keep it white which made working on this all the slower, unfortunately. The charity's website is here: http://www.uk-sands.org/Home.html I hope that doesn't count as advertising! The pattern can be found here: http://www.oxfordshiresands.org.uk/images/blanket_pattern.pdf
Have you seen this capelet from Anthropologie's Winter '05 collection?

Variegated yarns are beautiful, but they are not always easy to incorporate into projects. You never know until you start knitting how the colors will pool. If the yarn is self striping each colored section is long enough for you to knit multiple rounds in a single color .
