bits and bobbins

some choice picks from my thrifting haul this week…that happen to all be knits!
found at goodwill and out of the closet thrift store, here in san francisco.

an orla kiely wool sweater!

i saw it from afar…and had a feeling it was something good. i mean, HELLO, it has orange polka dots on gray, people!! you KNOW how i feel about orange and gray (if you’ve been lingering about for a while, anyway!). a peep at the tag confirmed my good luck. YAY!

a sleeveless turtleneck knit shell with a PIXEL print (omg!)…

a simple red-orange wool cardi:

and a mustard-colored drop-waist tunic…

it doesn’t look like much, but i loved the color. and i figured this would fit over my ever growing belly, and would be cute over slim/skinny jeans or leggings or whatever, plus, with a cowl of mine over the neck…one of many layers to keep me warm here in chilly SF.

25 weeks (still, natch!). pete and i were heading out for lunch and some shopping…we needed to find him a bathing suit for hawaii (b/c we’re heading there for a vacay this week, as i’ve previously mentioned).

i think the theme of my last several w_r photos is "how many different ways can i wear these damn black leggings?" haha. well….they fit my pregnant bod, they are warm, and uh…they go with everything!

this week’s threadheads vid features a how-to from cal of hodge podge farm, who shows the world how to crochet a bitchin’ neckline onto a tee, using scrap tee shirt fabric. the results are way inspiring…as are the tees she makes. she obviously shares my great love of doilies! ha!

great work as always, threadbanger!
