*Did you read the helpful hints and guidelines about color and size? If not please do, scroll to 10-9-11
TIP, Wondering if your item is too light, too airy, or too lacy? Can you easily poke your finger through it, see your hand through it? If so, it's probably not as warm as it could be for the homeless

ReplyDeleteThe gold and black will be a HOT item for Steelers fans - of which there are more than a few in the Columbus area. In my area of Ohio at least, team colors are VERY popular especially for the men and boys - but girls also like combos from high schools and colleges. I really am drawn to the pink vertical stripe scarf too. But - they are all GREAT - glad I don't have to pick just one!
