One Must Accessorize

Accessories are fun to play with, and I love this little neck warmer.  I used some local alpaca from a farm in my town, and as far as I know she doesn't have a name for her yarn yet.  Or at least Google doesn't know what it is...

Even dogs need to accessorize every now and again.  This wonderful little piece is the Classic Aran from Dog Gone Cute, and it really is.  It was incredibly fast to knit up, and several of my four-legged friends have received one for those blustery fall days.

This is a super warm winter hat I dreamed up.  The false brim is one of my favorite hat styles as it gives it a bit of definition without the bulk of a fold over brim.  I used Lopi for this hat, and I know it can be a bit itchy at times, but it is my go-to yarn for most fair aisle patterns.  It seems so perfectly suited for playing on an Icelandic countryside.

Moving on to this little number.  I have always been fascinated by beading.  It's such a pretty addition to certain pieces and it's not at all as finicky as I had imagined.  I'm not usually a pink kinda gal, but the purple mixed in on this ivory background was exactly what I was looking for.  This is also some alpaca from the neighborhood farm.

Whether it's a hat, pretty little neck warmer, or something for a furry friend, accessories are always fun to make and I love that people often forget all of the things yarn can do.
