It’s getting cold around here, as it is in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere about this time of year, and for me that means I pretty much live in scarves & other warm wear. I wear scarves, hats, & gloves outside and cowls, neckwarmers & fingerless gloves inside. It’s really the only way I can manage to keep warm…especially since we are committed to keeping the thermostat down as much as possible. I also like to accessorize, so there are plenty of opportunities to do that.
If you want to be warm this season or are looking for warm wear for gifts, you must visit Phydeaux Designs. There’s so many gorgeous things to choose from. I really like the cowls (so much so that I own one myself), which you can purchase in all sorts of colors or if you are knitty, you can knit yourself from the pdf pattern. There are also scarves for guys & girls, fingerless gloves, the prettiest neckwarmers & more.
I’m feeling warmer just writing about all these goodies! How about you, would you like to win some Phydeaux Designs goodies? Of course, you do! Read how to win a $75 gift certificate below.

Prairies Scarf
Apricot Blush Scarf
my favorite thick scarves which i love for their deep blues and natural color combinations, and because they look cuddly-soft:

my favorite cowls, because they have a modern/vintage feel and i love the colors and the lack of bulk: Antique Fig Cowl / Neckwarmer; Soft Violets Neckwarmer ; Soft Gold Neckwarmer
The “under the Mistletoe” fingerless mitts are quite pretty. I wouldn’t mind owning a pair of those (and by the time I ever got around to making something similar, it would be spring). So much easier to have the elegant pair knitted so beautifully for you.
I’d also love the nutmeg cowl PDF pattern.
Of course being a DIY kind of person, I’d love a PDF pattern of the cowl neckwarmer.
Love, love, love the olive cowl neckwarmer. Very pretty.
