When Boston-based author and long-time Churchmouse friend Alexandra Dane was in Seattle, she stopped by the shop wearing a scarf that turned our heads. Alex’s perfect airplane project (both to knit and to wear!) is a sheer tube of lace-weight mohair you can style any number of ways. It’s just the kind of thing we love—simple, simple, simple, and all about the color!
