Irish Knit Sweater Love

When I was in Ireland, I hemmed and hawed 

and went back to the same store three times.

Should I or shouldn't I?

Had my time passed to own another 

Irish knit sweater?

There was a time when I wore nothing else.

I grew up in a small town along the sea 

and loved my Irish knit sweaters.

That was a long time ago....

The sweater has to fit the woman and it does here....

There is something romantic 

and nostalgic about Irish knit sweaters.

The stuff that legends are made of.

In the end, I decided to leave well enough alone.

There are some that carry it off with ease and beauty.

I will leave it to them.

My time has passed on the sweater, but, it has not passed

on something like this. I am in the market for a snood.

Give me the top half of this creation and I would be 

one happy gal.

and I am thinking cashmere 

just might do the trick.

Then again, there is always the tea cozy 

for when you need just a little bit 

of Irish knit lovin :)
