That has been on my "To knit" list. Except that I don't have the attention span for anything more than one sock. One day, perhaps.

I just got a Smartwool microweight top from Steep and Cheap. I am in love, and pondering just how much of my net worth I'm going to spend on this stuff.

Wool is the new currency. Stock up.
I was in TJ Maxx and I looked for wool for my son, who is obsessed with cycling, but doesn't have so much $. Why do they only have really nice merino/cashmere sweaters in sizes XL to 2XL? Is no one short and skinny? He wears a small... There were tons of good sweaters for him to wear commuting, with zippers/buttons down the front to ventilate, but no go.
Frustrating.
You know, I think size creep has reached men's clothes, because when he was in HS, he wore a medium. My DH, who is bigger even wears a small in some tops.
Was browsing this thread and saw 6pm show up quite a few times. Thanks for the reference. Already scoped out quite a few purchases!
Thanks for this post, because I went to TJ Maxx yesterday, and got 3 wool sweaters for under $100! I got a zippered boiled-wool cardigan that's super comfy and looks vintage, a black cashmere v-neck pullover, which definitely fills a hole in my wardrobe, and a burnt orange Merino pullover. I guess I never look there at the right time for wool. It was really crowded in the store. I bet if I waited, I might have missed the boat.
6pm.com - zappos.com's clearance site. they have discounted icebreaker & ibex. smartwool too I think.
I'm gonna break out my merrell chill slides for the season. bestest fuzziest warmest comfiest winter shoes. Not wool, but I love them. I do have some knee high felted wool simple boots that I got out of the box yesterday.
Red, what department did you get the sweaters in? I am so short that I can't really wear regular women's sweaters. But maybe in the junior department? They have no petite sized sweaters, or if they do, they're big sizes.
I need some stylish wool that doesn't cost a fortune.
I'm a small in the women's dept. I think the x-small selection was relatively small, but I wasn't really focusing there. I didn't see what they had in jrs. Every time I look there, I feel a little bit older. :rolleyes:
Has anyone bought this yet? Just wondering. I saw it in the Terry catalog and started lusting after it, then it seemed to be recalled from both Terry and Ibex, now it's available again.http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product...s-merino-kurta
Looks interesting and versatile. I plan to try one on next week at a LBS (Clever Cycles in Portland). They're fellow Wool Weenies.
