// Handknit on handknit

I’m pretty sure that according to some style guides knit on knit is one of those things to be avoided. Except in case of the classic twinset…

Dunno, but somehow piling on heaps of hanknitted stuff seems to work for me, the bulkier the better. I even plan to make a pair of long and rustic armwarmers to go with this.

The cape and the scarf are my own handknits (see my knitting blog archives if you wish to find out more). Divided Exclusive Men shirt underneath, it has lovely long arms with thumb openings. A pair of old waxed cotton pants and Rützou wedges.

I tried first to combine this cape to all things casual with bad results. It definitely works best with some tight, relatively structured and simple underneath, preferably with toughish feel. A pair of skintight leather pants would be the optimal companion — but I guess that I have to settle with these or some black leggings I already have.

Today I felt like hiding from the world. It SNOWED, wet, cold, ugly stuff. Not too happy about that.
