Speaking of which:
Which one is your favourite Ibex short-sleeve tshirt? I'm thinking about the Echo. I want a black one.
Ideas?
My favorite get-out-and-play short sleeve is the Echo.

I bought a black Ibex skirt on sale last night. A weird thing happened when I went to check out. It said there were 2 things in the basket. Since I had only ordered one, I was surprised to see a black Kate in my size in the cart... huh? Did somebody know that I really want one, but I refuse to spend $110.00? I even searched for one, to no avail.
The only explanation I have is that I put it in there sometime late last winter and it stayed. I deleted it..
so are Ibex El Fito ever on sale? My husband's are about worn out. There's two holes in them, one on the knee from a fall, the other on a seam.
I have two of the cadence T's...very cute and flattering. I don't think they come in black either though.
Got my Ibex order yesterday. Love everything, of course!
I have been wearing my boucle full zip for farm chores, but I think I need something a little less textured for that purpose. The boucle grabs on to hay, goat hair, you name it...it's kinda gross. I think I need a full zip shak in the dark brown for farm work. That color will hide the 'ick' the best and it won't get as gross as quickly, I think.
Ah...another excuse to buy Ibex wool. Just what I need!![]()

Any experience with the Pointelle t-shirts?
I notice that Ibex rarely puts things on sale that sell quickly. Plus, black sells faster than any other color, when a style goes on sale it's often in its colors other than black which have sold out already.
Black shaks....all gone now, both full and half zip. Other colors 'somewhat' available. (I doubt that black full zip shaks will EVER go on sale at Ibex.)
Black Kates were the first to disappear, now Kates are gone altogether (perhaps to reappear again later on?).
Fitos?- they always sell well, are black, and are multi-seasonal.... so I doubt they'll ever put them on sale unless they come up with a new style and have to move the old style out.

Well speaking of NC, 'Emily_in_NC'.....that hat is WOOL and was knitted specially for me last year by a musician friend who lives up in the mountains of Burnsville, NC. Here's a better picture:
And yes, people mistake the hat braids for real braids all the time...especially when they are encrusted with ice and snow!
I have another wool hat that I added long wool braids and braided trim to as well.
I always feel like I'm wearing headresses when I wear these two hats.![]()

I bought a hat just like that when I was in Lake Placid and it was around -10 out. It is so warm that I can't wear it 95% of the time I am x country skiing or snow shoeing. I did wear it when I was skiing at Craftsbury VT last January.
