"London" vest

After beating around a bush for some time, I had finally decided to make a vest. Yes, it was not an easy decision after being stuck mainly in accessories :-) Making clothes seemed to be an entirely new dimension to me. It was not easy to choose a color either -- first I considered gray, then green... And then the weather started getting colder and colder. 
Spontaneously, having stumbled upon a lovely beige piece of silk in the felting supplies shop, I bought it together with beige wool roving perfectly matching it, kick-starting thus the process of creating this vest. 
I find this color extremely charming! It is so simple and bright, with a slight shade of peach pink to it. The vest appears very minimalistic, without any decor, adorned just with delicate silk lining on the inside.

Fits sizes 44-46 rus (38-40 eur). Made out of superfine Merino wool and 
hand dyed Margilan silk.

The true autumn scarves

Well, September is here and I've made a couple of scarves in indian summer pallette. Although one of them is typically bright orange and rust red, autumn can be not only about the fiery leaves on the trees :-) The second scarf (first on the picture) has subdued, sort of rainy day gamut -- fine purple, olive and bluish green, dark brown; cold heavy sky, fallen leaves, wet soil. It seems to be even more autumn-like than the orange one. But I surely love them both equally!
Happy autumn!

Approximate measurements: 190x15 ---> 74,8"x5,9".





Approximate measurements:195x15 cm ---> 76,7"x5,9".

Abstract flowers
