Mary Van Notes

vintage blouse and high-waisted wide-leg trousers: secondhand via GoodByes
belt: thrifted
oxford heels: Payless
tapestry bag: garage sale

The tapestry bag I found at a garage sale filled with knitting needles, a 1950s how-to knit booklet and other knitting odds and ends.  I’m continuing where the previous owner left off.  Whoever she was, she passed the knitting torch on to me I guess.  I’m using some needles that were in the bag and am starting on my first shawl/wrap/scarf.  I went to a yarn store on Divisadero, but realized that as a beginner I should probably stay away from expensive yarn.  Yarn is expensive!  Can any of you knitters suggest decent yarn I can get at an affordable price?

This outfit was inspired by this photo posted by danielle likes art.  My outfit is definitely less colorful though.  I love that color combo with the yellow, red and that stone teal color.
