I'm right with you. Chunky knits are not very friendly to my rack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-chunky-knits#post-266370 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 02:52:21 +0000 kellygirl 266370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amen to that, Becky! Another short and sturdy agrees! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-chunky-knits#post-266356 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 02:40:36 +0000 Becky 266356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way chunky knits look on others, and I love how cozy they are, but they certainly aren't flattering on my petite and sturdy self. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-chunky-knits#post-266277 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 01:03:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 266277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM, I've got a cotton/acrylic sweater I got from the thrift store that only gets worn in the house - I'd call it a boyfriend sweater, but really it's a grandfather sweater, and not the 'wool with patches' sophisticated kind.

Or a re-realization, really; the last time they were in I avoided them, but this time I got drawn back in.

They make me look blocky, and bigger in a non-good way. So, I’m pledging now to stick to fine knits, barring a very casual weekend situation. I don’t have to wear every trend that comes down the pike, and that’s ok. </p>
