Today's shirt is one of those items that I think goes with everything. Old school button up styling and a cheery bright color, and vintage buttons too. My jeans are from deep in my closet -- they had been retired to work clothing because of their revealing nature. A little zig zaggy machine stitching, a patch, and a whirl in the washer with some blue dye, and they're back in action, grocery store appropriate.
One day while knitting a pair of mittens I got to thinking ... if I can knit two tubes at the same time, can I knit three? Yes. Can I link them together to make one piece of fabric? Yes. That's where the inspiration for this ultra thick scarf came from.
The pattern for this scarf and the jar scarf below are available today! If you are interested there is a "buy now" button over there ---> Scroll up to the top to find it.

First, I love your outfits, especially your color choices. I have a question. When you overdye your denim, what kind of dye do you usually use?
Thanks!
Thanks Kristy! I use Pro Chem & Dye MX Fiber reactive dye. Sometimes art stores sell it in small bottles called Procion. They're easy to use and cellulose fiber specific.
i love that the jeans are now elevated to "grocery store appropriate". lovely cheerful outfit! the patchwork knitting technique is very alluring...
