I don’t do Black Friday. I detest shopping, crowds, noise, and the forced “gaiety” of this retail-focused shopping event. No one ever looks very happy about being out there at zero-dark-thirty being pushed and shoved amongst the masses.
No thanks.

It’s “Sweater Time”
by admin on Oct.18, 2012, under Favorites
YEAH!
Still a bit warmer than average for this time of year in North Carolina but with a low of 40 degrees yesterday morning and highs in the mid to upper 60s for the rest of the week – it IS sweater time.
Here are a few choices for Fall/Winter 2012 – some with a bit of international flair…
For hundreds of years, women in the rural villages of the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland have knit natural wool sweaters for their fisherman kin.
Although the myth that you can identify island families by the stitches in their sweater—like a Scottish tartan—isn’t true, every knitter does have her own special patterns, passed down through generations of mothers and grandmothers. At weekly gatherings, they continually invented intricate new stitches revealed in this Women’s Irish Aran Turtleneck Sweater
Comes in various sized and colors. Men’s Aran Turtleneck Sweater also available.
This Men’s Grecas Alpaca Sweater is made by the Indigenous Bolivian craftsman (grecas: repeating geometric patterns) from the traditional garments of the Tarabuco region in this 3/4-zip pullover. The design is an interpretation of barroco mestizo style, in which indigenous and Spanish cultures have struck an aesthetic balance. This lightweight and cozy 100% alpaca sweater is handknit by artisans in Bolivia.
If you’re only going to buy one new sweater for this season, this Norwegian Wool Crewneck Sweater will be a toasty, excellent suggestion!
Enjoy the timeless style, durability, and warmth of pure wool in this Norwegian sweater by Devold, the oldest manufacturer of knitted goods in the country, in business since 1853. Farmers and fishermen, hikers and skiers have all prized Devold’s thick and hardwearing design. They’ve even outfitted pioneering Norwegian explorers including Fridtjof Nansen, who led the first inland crossing of Greenland in 1888, and Roald Amundsen, who let the first Antarctic expedition to the South Pole and was the first person to have visited both the North and South Poles.
This oatmeal-colored wool sweater is knit of three-gauge Norwegian wool and features a thick and insulating crew neck.
Can’t finish a sweater discussion without a link to a traditional Scottish Tartan Wool Sweater!
A red, green, and yellow intarsia plaid decorates the chest of this Scottish wool-blend sweater. The heathered brown background is inspired by the rich texture of traditional Scottish wool tweed. Made in Lothian, Scotland, of 90% wool and 10% silk for extra softness.
Available in Blue or Brown tone.
