This was a fun shoot. Our model Brigitte is our fav hair stylist from next door at Clark Nova Salon (8118 W 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90048(323) 655-1100 ) and I loved designing and knitting these fingerless gloves in Tanglewood Fiber Creation’s hand dyed and hand spun cashmere. The scarf was knit in Tanglewood Fiber Creations Natural Cashmere in a favorite Ravelry pattern-Just Enough Ruffles from Cosmicpluto Knits found here.
