discount of 50% off, hello! welcome to instagram takeover! im mary jane mucklestone and i like to knit - a lot. first i want to thank for putting fair isle hat on the fall 2016 cover. so happy. they've given us a code: for 50% off all marketplace tickets for vogue knitting live minneapolis. today ill try and give a peek at a day in the life of me! this week im at home in portland, maine. im thinking a lot about long-worn, the slowfashionoctober theme of the week. here i wear stopover sweater that i made a couple of years ago and knit in 3 days, because i needed a new sweater for a summer trip to shetland that included a stopover in iceland. a friend had pointed out that i needed to be wearing a garment of own design, and had to take off second-skin, which was a favorite lopapeysa cardigan from iceland that i wore constantly. see when i have something i like, i wear it over and over and over again. like every day for a week. so stopover was knit with the intention of a cozy comforting lightweight sweater. and guess what? i almost never take it off. once on - it will be in place day after day! jeans are years old and the holes that need to be mended are from long wearing. old clothes are favorite clothes, and i try and keep them in good shape because i like to wear familiar things
