Closet Confection: Twenty-Six Pickup Stix

2010_1204_outfit1

When: Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Where: Work

What: Coat (Forever 21, years ago), hat & scarf (self-made!), shirt (vintage & thrifted), skirt (Club Monaco), sweater tights (H&M), boots (Steve Madden)

Pardon me for not removing my jacket, but it was friggin’ COLD when I took these photos.  There was a really strong wind coming by, and my fingers and face were so numb that I could barely stand it.  Whoa Nelly!

A while back I told you guys that I was taking up knitting since I wasn’t allowed to shop during the 30 for 30 Challenge.  Well, I’m happy to report that not only did I finish the original scarf I was working on, but I also made this hat and tunnel scarf as well!

A big piece of advice for any of you who would like to take up knitting but aren’t very crafty or just don’t have the patience…

Invest in a knitting loom!

I got the idea from this post on What I Wore, and I’m so glad that I did.  The scarf that I made knitting with needles took me two whole weeks to finish, whereas this hat and tunnel scarf only took me a weekend.  Talk about a timesaver!

Unfortunately, I overestimated the size of my head so the hat’s a little floppier than I intended, but I’m still sooooo proud of myself!

I see lots of cozy hats and scarves in my future this winter…
