back to school
It’s that Back to School time of the year again, and fall is coming...never mind that the whiplash-inducing weather and temps—here in Maine, at least—have us wondering if summer will ever let go.
Even if the heat is taking a casual approach to its departure, it always pays to prep ahead of time for little things. Those chilly fall days will be here before we know it. What better small project to whip up for keeping warm while waiting for the bus or first bell than a hat, a pair of mitts, a scarf or cowl?
We chose some of the gorgeous knits from the Quince archives that we think fit the bill—smallish projects that are quick, universally appealing, and would be most welcome by the time frost-covered school mornings arrive:

Desafinado hat and mitts, designed by Véronik Avery, in Piper, colors Laredo, Coldspring, Sweetwater, and Lone Oak |
Skadi cowl designed by Allegra Wermuth, in Puffin, color Iceland (from Scarves, Etc. 2012) |
