This shell makes me want to put on my best plaid walking skirt and go hiking across the moors, its style is so evocative of highlands, heath, and blustery winds. I just love it -- that herringbone says "tweed" without any tweed at all, and the style will uplift anything from blue jeans to silk. This is one knitted garment that will never stay at the back of a drawer, and is likely to create a demand for many more. It is one of the most versatile and wearable designs ever.
