[*Happiness*]

ewww, I don't like those Marc jacobs knits hats...they look like mushroom clouds to me.

i love the MJ mushroom hats, they're so oversized and ridiculous - however being a knitter, i think it would take an afternoon to make one. the price is a little much.

for those who liked the dries van noten knit, there is something *kinda* similar posted at mag knits.

it's a short sleeve but that can be easily fixed, as could the eyelet increases.

I found these pics from Allure Oct '06 titled "the knit parade":

I love this trend. All of those styles above are very comfortable, yet chic.

Those are wonderful! Karma for you!

 

[missbliss]

thankyou! I'm glad you enjoyed 'em. The last pic is definitely my favorite, just because it looks so cozy & cozy knits are by far the reason I love the winertime.

Question - What is the brand of the jacket Gemma Ward is wearing in Post #62? I saw her on the street 2 weeks ago in that coat and wondered about that.

I'm a pretty skilled knitter, so this thread really appeals to me...
I think after finishing all the countless projects I'm working on at the moment, I'll make a cable knit sweater because it will be winter by then

i actually like a lot of these knit dresses... they look absurdly comfortable in the best possible way

This thread is inspiring. Enough said. But I shall go on...

Knits are a staple to me that will never tire with age. As many sweaters as I have seen come and go each year around, they always manage to look fresh and chic... depending on what it's paired with of course, but great nonetheless.

knit can be sooooo overwhelming!!! bag + scarvs + sweater + hat.... way too much!!!!

I've been inspired by the following photos from garancedore.fr and I think that this thread is the place for them! (Although the title might need updating.) Are there any really great knits out there this season?

 

[punkie]

i love the convenience of knits but i always feel unkept when wearing knits. i have no idea why but I just do...

 

[Virginielle]

Also from garancedore.fr:

I love the white.

Why "unkept", punkie? Just when they're oversized, or always?

I'm definitely looking into this now that weather is getting colder. But I'm looking into more rock and punk versions of this. perhaps mixing them with leather and such.
