The start of a New Venetian Stripes Scarf Line

Hi Everyone!
If you remember awhile back I had a couple scarves for men listed in my shop. Both have since found new homes and aside from my line of Unisex Hats there hasn't been anything for men in my shop since. Before Thanksgiving I started forming a pattern in my head that would be appealing to men. But what do men like? Ha...women everywhere ask this question all the time right? :P Well, the best way to start is to think simple. Neutral colors, clean lines, sturdy and for winter you definitely want warmth. With this in mind I created a scarf made from high quality acrylic yarn to hold up against the busy life of a hard working man, but is still great looking (and easy to wash) I wanted to add texture so the pattern then became ridged, which will also help capture the snow and not melt into the scarf and get you wet/cold. The finishing touch? Fringe, not an overbearing amount but enough that it adds a regal touch to your look when going out for an evening. The scarf is wider set for broader shoulders, or it can be folded up for extra padding.
As a women I find when this scarf is folded it works well on me...though a bit long since I'm pretty short ;) But hey, wrap it around your neck and you are good to go!

Shooting the pictures for the Venetian Taupe scarf was a great experience. I had the help of a couple friends who can see together in my Unisex Beanie line. I had a wonderful time finding great locations to shoot and friends to laugh with :) Some of the pictures I took are not on my Etsy site because the scarf isn't true to color since it was shot in sepia, but just as a photography piece I couldn't help myself! So I'll put one on here for you to peek at :D

The picture on the Left is the cover shot for this Scarf available on my Etsy and Artfire shops. The picture on the Right is the Sepia tone shot.

I am so happy with this piece and I hope the scarf finds a new home soon! I have more color ideas in my head so keep an eye out for new ones added to the Venetian Stripes Scarf line!

Thank you all for following my blog! Hello and welcome those who have recently followed! :D

Forest Scarf for Men

Yay! Another item for the guys out there! Not sure how many shop on Etsy but I feel bad that there wasn't much to choose from in my store. So I've been trying to get more unisex and men's fashions available. I figured the hats would come in more handy since the guys I know like hats more than scarves, but I still like to give options :)

This scarf is a nice sage green and mocha brown. It's longer than the Desert Scarf for Men but you can still wear it under the coat for extra warmth.  Ladies if you need to get someone for a man in your life and have no idea what, keep him warm and if he doesn't like it you can always wear it yourself :P

Desert Scarf for Men

Yay! I finally got my first scarf for men up! I realize guys probably aren't looking around for scarves online but I figured it's nearing the holiday season and plenty of ladies are looking to get gifts and whether they'll admit it or not, guys get cold too :P

In other news, I shut down the madeitmyself and shophandmade store sites. The views were there, the sales weren't. With all the new items I'm making it was also a hassle to have to update 4 stores at once. So I'm sticking with Etsy. This way I can spend more time making new items than working on making everything match up online. :P

Happy Tuesday everyone!
