sweet and sophie
sophie is a ladylike peter pan collar necklace, luxuriously knit with our worsted weight cashmere. tie one on to channel your inner twiggy or is it alexa chung these days? sophie is knit using just 7g of cashmere — great for using up leftover yarn and as a very last minute knitted gift. sophie is free with the purchase of 1 skein of qualità cashmere. just write “sophie” in the comments box and we’ll send you a hardcopy of the pattern. there’s no need to…

ain’t nothing but houndstooth
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog cryin’ all the time. You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog cryin’ all the time. Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit and you ain’t no friend of mine. – Written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller; lyrics from Elvis Presley’s Hound Dog
