Indie Designer Day

Rav ID: JumperCables

If you like pretty, feminine, and simple shawls, scarves, and cowls, then you need to have a looksee at this designer's work.

JumperCables (as you may deduce from her rav name) loves cables, and it does make an appearance in her work, but overall there's a focus on beautiful, uniform, and often understated texture.

Take the pleasingly synchronous January Scarf (pictured).  A perfect example of simple shape, texture and technique to create a fantastic finished project.

Chilly Cowl also demonstrates this sensibility. Shape and texture play wonderfully together in this pattern, creating something that would look oh-so-stylish just peeking out from the top of your bundled-up winter coat.

With a name like Duck Soup you know it's got to be a good pattern. This one has the same JumperCables aesthetic; she's smartly photographed this simple scarf in a variety of styles, showing just a glimpse of what you can do with a basic shape and fashion-imagination.

To round off this designer recommendation, I'll point you to something entirely different in her Mayfair.  A simple (and sturdy!) looking accessory.

Love the scarf edging, and the Duck Soup pattern is also really fashion forward, love it!
