We've had a such mild winter here in Kansas.  All my sweaters were still packed away in the attic-until this week!

The temperature is finally starting to drop, so cozy up with a winter Ann's Cardigan.

Here's how we style the Ann's Cardigan this winter!

We love our new pattern, the Ann's Cardigan & apparently so do you!  We just completed our first Winter Sweater Workshop using the Ann's Cardigan. Since this workshop was such a great success we've decided to offer another one in May to create a Spring Cardigan!

For a complete listing of our events, view our Events Calendar.

The Ann's Cardigan class was very inspirational!  We had a full house with 14 participants, each with a complete cardigan by the end of the day.  Sewing the Ann's Cardigan is quite relaxing with an ultra flattering end result.

What a good looking group! I love how each person (well, almost each person-the Caramel & Brown Floral Wool Knit was quite popular) created a different look using the same pattern.  Such versatility in one style!

Is it possible to stay warm and stylish? We like to think so, especially when you add a touch of glamour with fur, wool & accessories.

Talk about glamour, the Deja Vu Wrap is right on trend! We're always ahead of the curve.

Go luxe with the Fur Collar on Wool & Silk Blend Houndstooth.

DEJA VU WRAP + FUR = WINTER LUXE

FOUR GOOD MEASURE + SEQUIN SILK = PARTY READY

STELLA TOP + WARM SWEATER KNIT = COZY WEEKEND WEAR

What winter outing is complete without a fabulous coat? But don't stick to black or grey, standout out in pink wool and over the knee boots.

VERONA COAT + PRINTED WOOL + PINK = WINTER CHIC

Just when we thought activities would wind down around here for the holidays, we get an unexpected surprise!  Fabrics are just pouring in this week!  So we're starting off with the most unique first, textured jacquard weaves from France.  Here's a little more detail from Linda herself......

We just received some very unusual jacquard weave fabrics from France. The textured weaves are quite detailed and the colors are so rich. I can't wait to make a simple shirt like the Zen Shirt, the Liberty Shirt or a MixIt Shirt to wear as a jacket. Or the Tosca Dress always works well in purple jacquard. All of them are washable and won't wrinkle.  Very limited yardages available.

Here's a few similar styles just to give you an idea.....

Then let your imagination run wild!

Left: Jacquard MixIt Shirt, Pucci MixIt Top

Right: Jacquard - Purple Dusk & Thyme

Top: Purple Jacquard Tosca Dress

Left: Jacquard Crush - Purple & Black   Right: Crinkle Jacquard - Purple & Grey

Here's a few more jacquards, just in case you're craving more!

Left: Jacquard Plaid - Taupe & Grey Right: Cotton Jacquard - Burgundy & Grey

Happy Shopping!

Also enjoy Free Shipping all weekend long!
