Scarves fall into the category of fashion items that The Few can pull off. A too-round face or short neck, and a bulky knit scarf magically morphs the wearer into having a frog-like appearance. And there is a fine line between beauty and function in a scarf. A "shrug" is tricky, too: it can either play up broad shoulders, add some broadness to narrow shoulders, or simply look like the wearer is sporting a baby's "onesie" with the bottom half lopped off. I found a site, however, on etsy(dot)com called crochetbutterfly that blasts apart my pre-mentioned preconceptions about scarf/shrug fashion. Ms. Crochet Butterfly has a beautiful array of crocheted lovelies in a wide range of shapes, colors, and styles, and I find myself coveting yet again. Browse through her lovely shop and see what I mean. Her items aren't just for cold weather--she has plenty of pieces that are simply delicate accessories that could even work in warmer climates. I like to picture myself in the shrug below, with a scoop-neck top, my favorite jeans, ankle-high almost stiletto boots, and a fabulous bag hooked over my shoulder. And a coffee in the other hand... with a funky chunky ring on my index finger--ya know, to make the coffee cup look good.
What type of crochet fashion items can you picture yourself in?
