In fact, I used to exclusively hand wash. But now I'm lazy and rushed and the dry cleaner does a fine job. After this lengthy discussion, however, (and owing to the fact that I have a new laundry sink in the basement) I may need to stop being lazy and see if I don't love my hand washed sweaters even more than my dry cleaned ones.<BR/><BR/>As for L&T and the association with mom and grandma...well, in cashmere terms, that's not a bad thing. Cashmere should be passed from generation to generation. It's the best kind of hand-me-down.<BR/><BR/>And Vicki, there are plenty of lightweight cashmere sweaters that are ideal for LA in the fall and winter.<BR/><BR/>Jordan, do you think this post accounts for the dramatic spike in my stats today?!?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532087472191027011.post-42555368988533200532008-03-17T14:07:00.000-05:002008-03-17T14:07:00.000-05:00Didn't link to her?

Now you can all go visit Kristen and praise her shopping talents. <BR/><BR/>And Lori - I think Old Navy carries a lot of yoga pants. I tend to get mine at athletic stores; there's an amazing discount place in SF called Sports Basement that I visit every time I'm in town for that sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>Vicki - Kristen did list a Lord & Taylor sweater for me, too. I believe we do have those around here so I'll have to check that out. I tend to associate that brand with my mother and grandmother...I'm not sure I'm ready to shop there!!<BR/><BR/>Shannon - I know! But Kristen says it's very risky to hand wash cashmere and hers do great at the dry cleaner! Whose advice to follow?? I think the take home here is that they're just plain risky to wash.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239709970883575853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532087472191027011.post-82455596797099033372008-03-17T13:38:00.000-05:002008-03-17T13:38:00.000-05:00Remember the Seinfeld about Cashmere?

My favorite right now is from Garnett Hill and is a gray v-neck. I am not a good shopper, so I only get these things as gifts, but I could wear that sweater every day.<BR/><BR/>OK, if Kristen won't do slacks, maybe you or her could tell me where to find the yoga pants everyone talks about.<BR/><BR/>(and you didn't link to her, just fyi)Lori at Spinning Yellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820406823337728514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532087472191027011.post-21008460457176967252008-03-17T13:16:00.000-05:002008-03-17T13:16:00.000-05:00My mom swears by the Lord and Taylor brand, on sal...My mom swears by the Lord and Taylor brand, on sale.

Cashmere is simply...soft. <BR/><BR/>I have one of the Land's End cashmere sweaters. It's okay. It pills quite a bit. Unfortunately, with cashmere you get what you pay for. It is justified, however, by the fact that it never goes out of style and is appropriate for 3 seasons in most climates.<BR/><BR/>Okay.
