Now for some traveling crafting content!
Just a couple of doors down from the Hard Rock Hotel, Chicago was this fabulous shop, Mali Jewelry and Accessories. They had wonderful one-of-a-kind pieces that I spent hours drooling over.
I did walk out of there with a beautiful bracelet
And a beautiful brooch.
Remember the scarf? Probably not, but I knitted it up some time ago with some of Pluckyfluff's amazing homespun paired with some bulky Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. Knowing I was on my way to the frigid Mid-West, I whipped up a matching hat. See?
Notice my new brooch adorning my new hat. Bonne-Marie even said she liked my ensemble.
Did I say Bonne-Marie? Of ChicKnits? Yes I did! I got to attend a wonderful little workshop at Chicago's Stitching Salon. Bonne-Marie was imparting her knowledge of fit, fashion and knitting the perfect sweater for your body type. Great class!
