Comfort Crescent Shawl
Shawls come in different shapes, some cover more and others less. Some shawls, like this crescent shawl are perfect to wear even as a scarf. And on a rainy day, it keeps the shoulders warm. It's perfect for office wear too all year round especially if your desk is just below an air vent? Knit up in Red Heart Chic Sheep, 100% wool, so soft you won't want to take it off.

Colourwash Socks
I named this pair of socks ‘Colourwash’ because they remind me of watercolour paintings. They feature a heart motif and an afterthought heel. This heel allows uninterrupted patterning around the foot which is why I have used it again even though my favourite heel is the standard heel flap and gusset. These socks make the perfect pair on a gloomy day of rain. On a rainy day, what's better than socks that say 'you are my sunshine' and 'you make me happy'? They warm up your heart and your toes!
