arm summer weather means we get the chance to stitch up a few light-weight "lovlies" to throw over our shoulders, creating new combinations and easy new 
wardrobe possibilities. The Felicita Ruana designed by Darlene Dale, is just one of those pieces. Knit in lightweight bamboo-blend Spa, this easy layering piece is one you'll want to stitch in lots of summery colors.
