A friend of mine saw me coming and said, "All I see is you, twinkling..." That's good - without the sparkle, I might look kinda naked. I figure if you wear brown, and you are brown, you'd better brighten it up a little bit. Bring on the bling. There's nothing special about this crochet-knit top, … [Read more...]
