Cardigan Style: No fuss wraps on Etsy

Handpicked on Etsy

When I dash out the door, I want a jacket or vest that looks good without any fuss -- something I can throw on, quickly button or just let it hang. I kept that criterion in mind this morning in my Etsy search for autumn wraps to layer over daily clothes and kick up the look enough to run errands, meet friends for lunch or run out to dinner. Today's showcase features a variety of handmade styles that are trendy yet classic and collectible, comfy and so easy to wear. Click on the pictures to go directly to these Etsy listings. Prices range from $48.00 to $200.00.

The Weaver's Eye: What She Likes on Etsy

Handpicked on Etsy by Two Weavers: Me and Cait Throop (Barefootweaver)

The common theme shared by today's featured creations is they appeal to two sets of eyes that share a common passion for creating cloth on a loom. My own weaver's eyes were captured this morning by a new EtsyLounge follower and fellow weaver, Cait Throop. Because I'm focused on my own weavings in progress today, I haven't much time for blogging, so I spied on Cait's Etsy favorites and discovered some tempting creations she has hearted. 7 of her picks jumped right out at me and landed in today's showcase, along with Cait's beautiful handwoven scarf, pictured at top left.
