Winter Whites

Don't pack your white jeans away!  We always think a white jean looks fresh during the colder months, perhaps even more so than in the summer.  Of course, we have more than one iteration so this week we've decided we're wearing our whites!  You've observed by now that we also like a tonal look so today we've gone with layered 'shades' of white with our pale grey sneaks and ivory sweater.  To top it off we hit up the jewelry drawer.  This adorable dog gives us just the wink we're looking for. 

Our sweater is DIY:  (latch hook illustrated instructions, follow this technique using a latch hook but rather than apply to a gridded canvas you will apply to the sweater stitches)  Determine where fringe trim should fall from the bottom of the sweater, double this length and add 1", this is the length of yarn needed for the first row of fringe.  For each row add another 1" in length.  Apply latched fringe in each purl stitch (or recessed portion/horizontal yarn) of the sweater's rib hem.  Apply in rows every 1/2" starting from hem until the sweater's rib trim is covered.
