I stand by that question! - the quest for shetland jumpers pales in comparison...

Re: Shetlands

Repeating yourself endlessly and talking about the same few subjects at every opportunity are all part of being obsessed surely?

Re: Shetlands

I think we're all a bit obsessed.  I mean, I had a dream about shining my penny loafers the other night.

Re: Shetlands

Hot off the email, O'Connell's has posted its Shetland collection for the upcoming season. (It won't cure Oli's Shaggy Dog itch, though.)

Re: Shetlands

Shaggy Dogs are back in stock!!!!

Just ordered my light grey small for a stupid price but I'm very happy!

I want at least a dozen of those lambswool shetlands from O'Connell's too... I think I'm going to order one or two because I'm way behind on my fall wardrobe but man, it's a tough choice between autumn, coffee, peat, mushroom, pumice, and loden!

I wish they were half the price so I can splurge and order them all haha.

Re: Shetlands

Indeed, it's a hip looking sweater but I went with autumn and loden for this round! I picked up a pair of olive moleskins too.

Mushroom is next in line on the wishlist!

Re: Shetlands

That's the problem, Oli. Given only so many coins to spend, the matter of choice presents a dilemma.

Re: Shetlands

Is Laurence Odie the "cheap" alternative to O'Connells? I mean, it's out of my budget, $45 for shipping + $165 for the actual sweater. Can I e-mail Odie or is the best way to call them?

Re: Shetlands

The price is high because it also smells like fresh paprika until the first wash.

Re: Shetlands

Did you know that Paprika is  included in foods fed to zoo flamingos to help them keep their pink plumage bright and beautiful.
Absolutely fascinating, don't cha think ?.

Re: Shetlands

Any makers in other woolly countries, like Norway or Ireland, doing simple, reasonably-priced crew necks?


Conclusion of the foregoing.
