Michele, I’m pretty sure that it would. Some heel sure helps! Maybe even with long column skirt… …hmm…

i remember this knit from your knitting blog and i’m glad you’ve found a way to wear. it looks great over those pants.

i looked through your back posts yesterday and since have been thinking about the big over skinny thing and wondering if it will work for me.

Steff, um, unfortunately the weather looks like I have to keep this cozy warmer here… Unfortunately the snow is not real snow here — it’s very wet and does not stay in the ground. Usually in Helsinki we get the snow cover in December or sometimes even later. I really don’t like snow (I hate slippery pavements) — but on the other hand it is so dark in here — and snow brings just a little bit more light.

sugar kane, be sure to take them to helsinki, this cold and moist air goes to the bones…

Anna, tavallaan viitta on aika yksinkertainen, se on suorakaiteen muotoinen kappale, jossa on täysin muotoilemattomat kädentiet. Palmikotkin ovat helpohkoja. Haasteena on saada tiheys ja materiaalin tuntu sellaiseksi, että viitta toimii käytännössä ja viimeistelyjen kanssa saa olla tarkkana. Luulen, että juuri tätä lankaa on aika vaikea saada (ihana yhdistelmä puoliksi alpakkaa ja puoliksi puuvillaa — viitassa on painoa!) — mutta se helpottaisi asiaa. Ohje löytyy tuolta neuleblogista.

Kruse: would like to see that! I like to pair this scarf to my shrunken leather jacket too, the texture clash is delicious — and I like what the combination does to silhouette.

May, more like RÄNTÄ

Unocosa, this is one of my favorite winter pieces, I’ll bet that I will be remixing this in multitude of ways this winter! Thank you!

i totally see how you could image it with some extremely edge look with the scarf — still, i liked the way you toped the chunky cardi with a chunky scarf … and you have enough charisma to really pull it off!!! this actually reminded me the very last look from Alexandre herchcovitch, which was very grand, but unfortunately, he outfitted the look on a super skinny girl without enough presence so the outfit wore the girl rather than the model wore the cloth — in your case, you wore the 2 knits REALLy well, xoxo

Snow? Whaaaat. No, no, no!

Yeah, that softness of the knitted pieces works really well with the tough looking trousers and boots. I did a similar thing today with a beaten up old leather jacket, 80’s vintage and an enormous, soft, grey knit scarf.

Aivan ihana tuo viita!!! Yhtäaikaa pehmeä ja veistoksellinen. (uskaltaakohan tällainen tumpeloneuloja kysyäkään: oliko se hankala/suuritöinen tehdä? ja mistä malli on kotoisin — onko se oma luomuksesi?)

P.S. Täällä on aika montaa Annaa kommentoimassa; mä taida jatkossa esiintyä Meidän Pariisin Annana.

You sure do know how to layer! And I need to dig up all my hand-knit pieces for warmth.

Love this outfit. Exactly what I would do (knit on knit with something tight on the bottom). Can I have your sweater by the way?

And congrats on not getting snow before today — we’ve had it for over a week now!
