I agree, it’s taken me a long time to get over my issues with being too matchy-matchy. I’m only recently dipping my toe into pairing different color shirt and shoes in office wear. (Gasp! How daring!) Yes, I own a huge amount of black and grey. I do think the idea of matching yarn, different pattern is a great one. You could throw a contrast color into one piece but keep the other solid so you can add extra interest and pop.

I had never really given any thought to this until sometime in the middle of last winter when I realized I looked very much like a wooly bag lady. It doesn’t bother me that much but I too would like to find a pattern that would hold my attention enough for scarf, mittens and toque!

The picture of Beatrix is priceless!

I’m absolutely and completed with you! I will grab my favorite hat and my favorite scarf (of the moment… those things change), whether they match or not. Honestly, I never even think about it…

I recommend the book “Ann Likes Red” for Beatrix. It was my favorite book as a child and has recently been republished. I just read it to my niece who is 2 1/2.
