The door in my wardrobe*

*the door not actually being there was a disappointment - but at least I was allowed to play with the clothes

//// Not too chunky

Lately I have been knitting large gauge sweaters. Might be Rodarte influence, might be eighties nostalgia. The cropped boxy shape of my latest design — if you can say that from a cloth constructed from simple rectangular pieces — definitely resonates with eighties vibe, with my Mad Max infatuation and love for layering. I took an easy casual approach on wearing this for the first time, but in the future I will probably combine it to metallics and / or leather (on which my wardrobe is pathetically insufficiently stocked).

    Ihan mielettömän ihana! Hihat on loisteliaat; lyhyt malli kuin luotu kerrostamiseen.

    Mahtavaa!!

    kitty kitty: thanks — the sleeve design was actually the starting point for this design idea!

    Anna, kiitos, kiitos! Hihoissa on aika kivasti painoa…

    Fisu, ei taida ehtiä ihan syndeiks… …kelpaisko angora-merino pitsivillatakki ylipitkillä hihoilla ja ilman nappeja? Voi kiinnittää vaikka rintarossilla…

    Oh! That is SO lovely.
    BTW I finished knitting your Big Knit and I love it so much. It is warm, soft, flowing and is definitely going to be my favorite thing this winter. Though I found knitting with the yarn on such big kneedles quite a challenge. Still, very worth it. Thank you!
