Sweater Polo, Pants Gmarket, Skirt DIY, Shirt I Don’t Like Mondays
The yarns were bought in December 2008 and hauled back and forth 5-6 times - to Warsaw, to London – before I’d even done an arm’s length. To tell the truth, I stopped because I had no clue how to make the neckline and didn’t feel like finding out. Then that genius hit me as always…yeah…I found out that I’d knitted one side 1.5x larger in width. What an idiot. So I ended up knitting it longer in length to joining the two sides to make a shawl. Introducing, the new “circle scarf”, its versatility surprises me greatly.
I’ll upload the tutorial (not much of one btw) in mid September once the magazine I sent the DIY to is out.
That looks so cool! I’ve been thinking about starting some knitting projects but the problem is that I haven’t knitted since high school. Oops! So a DIY would be very much appreciated here. ;) I’ve also been wondering if it would be possible to achieve a similar look by using the crochet technique…?

that yarn is so gorgeous! I love the splash of colour.

you really are amazing :D my mom taught me how to knit but I think I forgot..and I can only create uneven tightly knitted pieces of yarn.
Reply
oh wow! that’s a really pretty shawl you knitted! I love the colours you used and the fact that you used giant needles to make the holes. I tried knitting once, but it turned out really badly. :(
also, can’t wait to get my hands on those caramel t-bar heels when you finally open up shop again! :) they’ve been on hold for far too long.

Wow, you did it by yourself! Congrats!!

Love the colour combo! If I recall correctly, you did mention you’d finish this around August from your previous post.
It’s gorgeous! Love your blog.

Beautiful sweater!

Still looks charming nonetheless. I think quick improvisations are a good knitting/DIY skill. Did you ever learn to crochet?
Reply
No way…you knitted that? Ace. It would look equally as cool with little holes for your arms to poke through, so it could be warn as a waistcoat/vest. Bring on the Rodarte! x
(love the blog….following now ;))

Shini is this magazine based in Korea?? And were you one of 6 bloggers asked to do a DIY? If it’s the same one, I did one too!
This is a wonderful scarf and I loom forward to the tutorial as I’d love to learn how to knit simple things like scarves.

I’ve been following this blog forever, and I’m so happy to hear that you knit. I’m obsessed with craft/diy, and love it when you do any sort of diy post.
Can’t wait for the tutorial! What is the yarn? Did you do the coloring on your own?

ur style awes me, seriously- skiills!!

beautiful. i thought loose knit is easier to do, but looking at the 2nd pic i realize that the yarn is pretty thin and it wold have taken time with those fat needles to manage such a thin thread/yarn.

WHAY CAN’T i KNIT, WHY? WHYYYY?
I love this, just looks so rodarte – a jumper would have been neat to through over a shorts and over the knee high boots, all though Isee this working int he same vein too …
Over the knees *sigh* I spotted some I wanted actually , but now I can’t afford them as I spent some DOLLAR last night on some new marni shoes, as I decided all of my current shoes are too ugly for NY fashion week. Blah. Now I will have open toe million pound shoes to trot around in winter. Yuck.
Actually weren’t we supposed to be meeting up for a blogger bitch sesh? I’ve always wondered if you lived in london or not, it would be perfect if we could meet for LFW non?
Anyway, Thus ends the essay – I really should consider emailing rather than commenting all this shizzle.
Hmm
