Pocket Pick

Another chilly day (without rain...can this really be Oregon?) has my hands longing for shelter; I tend to lose gloves and therefore have a deep and abiding love of pockets. It seems like a good time to share another sneak peek of the magic that Olga has created for the upcoming book, Shibui Silk.

Olga engineered this amazing piece using a strand of Heichi in the color Brick, held together with Silk Cloud in the Rust colorway. Completely reversible, the oversized front band hides buttons that can be fastened to create pockets for days like today. Left undone, the swingy hemline gives a very different silhouette; change it even more by wearing it inside out...the seams are cleverly finished to work either way.

The tweedy, 100% silk Heichi is given a soft and subtle glow by entwining it with Silk Cloud, and our new colorways lend themselves to some pretty amazing combinations. Our new Heichi color, Caffeine, paired with Camel Silk Cloud is my choice for a wear-with-everything piece, or maybe I'll do a denimy combination of Canal and Suit...too many choices!

The January release of Shibui Silk is on schedule, so start your New Year off right; call your LYS to reserve a copy now of this limited edition gem! Check on facebook and ravelry for details of the launch, and come back here for more sneak peeks!
