Cardigan Craze

October is here, and while it’s still warm where I live, I’m thinking ahead to cooler fall days.  I’m rarely in need of a winter coat, but I live in cardigans for fall and winter, and a few of my old ones are in need of some repair.  I found this interesting post about adding new life to your old sweaters, and I just might try these tips to squeeze another season out of my cardigans.  I’m not very handy with a needle and thread, but I could manage adding an elbow patch or two.

I’ve also got my eye on a few cardigan options for later this year.  It’s too early to take the plunge yet, but they sure are pretty.

Curator’s Ryder Cardigan is at the top of my list, and I love the simple, slouchy style that doesn’t include buttons.  It looks more like a coat, but since it’s cotton, it won’t be too stifling as Texas temperatures slowly drop. The space-dyed pattern is fun and modern, and I honestly can’t decide if I love the black or white version better.  Best of all, it’s made in San Francisco, like all of Curator’s clothing.

Do you have a favorite?

I also love Velvet’s Akasha Denim Terry Slub Open Cardigan (phew!) and I seem to be drawn to the marled look this season.  This sweater is also loose and drapey, and is made in the United States, too.  I’ll have to choose eventually, and I’ll let you know if I pick one of these.

Are you adding any fall items to your wardrobe this season?
