Alternative Look - Fine Knits
Free People has some of the nicest knitwear I have seen but they're prices are beyond my current budget. Do you like these designs? The Rio Sweater Dress is made of rayon and polymide. I especially like the look of the white tank dress showing beneath it.
My Wardrobe features this long cardigan by Helmut Lang. I like how it is styled here. Care for this item is crucial, however, because it is made of wool.
To finish these looks, try some platform shoeties, monochromatic jewelry, such as black and white or any color really, as long as you keep it to one color with black and white. A small clutch with the eye catching knitted dress above will work, and a oversized handbag with the long cardigan would be fine. I would opt for a bright bag for both since these looks are mainly focusing on black, white and grey.

Verena Knitting's New Knit-A-Long
Verena Knitting is hosting a new knit along for the Autumnal 2011 season. Here is more information taken from my Verena Knitting e-newsletter:
"Yell" Fair Isle Yoke Pullover
by Ursala Marxer, Fall 2011
Sizes: 4/6, 10/12 and 14/16
Yarn: Lana Grossa "Cool Wool 2000" 100% superwash merino; 8 (9-10) balls White; 1 ball each Light Green, Dark Green, Yellow, Lilac and Violet (all sizes).
"Yell is a fantastic pullover and knits up quickly in worsted weight superwash merino. Fun and engaging for more experienced knitters, Yell is also a great project to start with if you've never tried stranded knitting before."
"Knit this pullover while sharing your successes, your troubles and your photos with other great Verena knitters! Forum discussions will let us all chat with each other and ask for and offer help when necessary. Knit-alongs are always fun and a great way to get in touch with other knitters. And, you'll have a gorgeous Fair Isle yoke pullover when you're done!"
"If you're interested, please send an e-mail to Sara (s.vallejo@vikantpublishing.
"If you've already got a few too many knit-alongs on your plate, don't worry! Yell will be available in our Fall Issue as well, so you can knit it at your leisure."
So what else is new at Verena Knitting? Here is today's free pattern!
"Cable News" is made with Schoeller + Stahl "Big" in the color #7823 Rubin
Have fun with these free patterns and good luck on your KAL!

- "The concept of knitting in design brings the designer, and the wearer, back to the basics of garment construction and production. It enables us to dig deeper into our creative ways of thinking, thus creating better, more interesting works."
"I remember receiving a children's fashion designer kit from my grandparents, on my father's side, when I was about seven years old, which I loved. This small token of love helped harness my passion as a young girl. This is what started and sparked my first curiosities in the needle arts and craft."
