The Fibre Company just came out with their Kelbourne Woolens Volume 1, and it’s FULL of super snugly, cozy knits. And they were kind enough to ask me to be a part of the blog tour from this collection! The fun part? I was asked to pick my favorite piece and style it. Any excuse to use polyvore, right?!
Hawthorn Sweater by Courtney Kelley
There were TONS of favorites to choose from, but I loved the classic simplicity of Courtney Kelley’s Hawthorn Sweater.
I thought it would be fun to work with the pretty grey of The Fibre Company Road to China Light yarn, and add a few simple very colorful accents with the tank and tights. Can you tell I’m ready for spring?!
It’s easy to fall in love with this collection, and work these classic pieces into your everyday wardrobe. Convinced?! Leave a comment on this blog post for your chance to win a signed copy of Kelbourne Woolens Volume 1! I’ll be choosing a winner this Thursday, Feb 14th at midnight. Good luck!
And be sure to follow the Kelbourne Woolens Volume 1 blog tour! The next stop is Fibre Space on Thursday.

The cardi is great! Good for any color accessories and goes with anything, dressy or casual.

I LOVE this cardi as well as the Winthrop cardi. I think I would knit either of these in maybe a yellow, navy, or gray. I love the styling throughout this book.

Comment by kirstin — February 12, 2013 @ 2:43 pm
I am in some serious need of even more cardigans. This first full winter in the Pacific NW was in need of more handknits larger than a scarf.
Comment by Sara — February 12, 2013 @ 3:09 pm
I don’t usually love pink but coupled with the grey it’s great!
Comment by Cathy — February 12, 2013 @ 4:04 pm
