Chadya, I did join Ravelry - it looks like a great site for knitters!</p> <p>Viva, casual is my favorite way to dress. Of course, that might just be because it means I'm not at work!</p> <p>The sweater in #1 does have some wool in it, and I never even&nbsp;would have tried it on had I realized that. I'm glad I didn't know it, because I can't feel the wool at all - it's not itchy in the least.</p> <p>Beth Ann, adding that "bit of whimsy" is my favorite way of dressing!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610677 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 16:10:23 +0000 chadya 1610677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to get help, info or anything about knitting I recommend joining Ravelry, it is an amazing site for knitters, and one of the best sites I have ever been on</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610664 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 15:56:10 +0000 Joyce B 1610664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits and great job with the knitting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610637 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 14:57:25 +0000 viva 1610637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks but especially 1,3,9,and 10.

Labomba, I haven't found knitting difficult so far. I didn't take long to get a grasp on it, the hat was easy (the same stitch throughout), I'm making a scarf now which is more difficult but still not hard. I'm taking a few classes at my local Michael's plus there's always Youtube videos. I have a very stressful job and I find knitting to be very relaxing.</p> <p>Aida, I got that plaid clutch last November at Charming Charlie. I looked for a link on their website, but it looks like they're sold out. They have other items in the black buffalo plaid, just not the clutch. I was in the store a month ago and they still had some in the stores, but I don't know if they still do.</p> <p>Angie, that's the best compliment! We do love our fur babies, don't we :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610131 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 03:22:02 +0000 Jaime 1610131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really look wonderful in that hat! I like all of these but #6 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610036 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:46:58 +0000 labomba 1610036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hat is adorable! And I love the cardigan with the glasses printed on it! Its kitschy, in a good way! Love your style. Do you find knitting difficult at all? How long before you got a good grasp on what you're doing?,I've really been considering learning because I'd like to make a few of my own pieces instead of running to the mall each time I want something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610035 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:45:05 +0000 Diana 1610035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Your new hat is super cute! I hope you enjoyed knitting! :)</p> <p>My favorite of these is #3. The sweater dress is fantastic and I love the plaid tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610028 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:37:26 +0000 JAileen 1610028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are really nice. I love the dress in 2 - fab fab fab!</p> <p>Good for you for learning to knit. I look forward to seeing future projects. Diana's lovely handknits are indeed inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1610006 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:38:19 +0000 Aida 1610006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo lots of photos! The new hat is cute, and hey there's hair poking out so definitely not a bald man Speaking of, I really like that little darker streak you've got up front. My favorites are those with the light footwear (1, 4R, 6, 9, 10). Double glasses in #5 is super fun, too. And #7 is particularly sharp (GREAT blazer on you). High five fellow plaid loving sister! Is there a find/link for that adorable little plaid clutch in 10? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1609965 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 21:34:55 +0000 rachylou 1609965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pearls outfit and the plaid outfit - those are the ones for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1609939 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:25:01 +0000 El Cee 1609939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new hat… cute and cozy and looks particularly fab with your new sweater. You did a nice job with it. I am with you on loving sweater dresses this season. They are so easy-peasy and feel like PJ's. (I own a couple of those Old Navy ones and they are so versatile.) All your outfits are great. Especially loving #7 (you look amazing in cobalt) and #8 (fun skirt).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1609937 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:12:56 +0000 Angie 1609937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ADORABLE like Cosmo and Callie. I know you will take that as a compliment Kari, because we think dogs are the best.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good job on the hat! I can't pick a fave. You are just huggable and fabulous in <b>all</b> these outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1609932 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:01:27 +0000 Helena 1609932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh excellent! Great casual looks. The hat is so cute. The cobalt jacket is stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-old-learning-how-to-knit#post-1609916 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 18:50:54 +0000 Karie 1609916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by the lovely Diana and her gorgeous creations, I decided to take up knitting so I signed up for a few knitting classes and pic #1 shows the result - a hat. I'd like to say I knit the sweater too, but, well, maybe in about 20 years from now....</p> <p>#1 - I recently purchased this sweater at J.Crew Factory. It's super warm and cozy. It has some wool but you'd never know it, it's not scratchy at all. Since I made the hat, of course I have to wear it, even though I think I look like a bald man (meaning no offense to bald men, I just don't want to look like one)!</p> <p>#2 - Also new, another sweater dress <i>(Macy's)</i>. I am loving the simplicity of wearing sweater dresses this season.</p> <p>#3 - Speaking of sweater dresses, this is probably my most worn ever <i>(Old Navy, last year)</i>. This pic is with patterned tights is from Ornella and 2014's holiday gift exchange (I love plaid!), and -&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic#4 - is with the scarf (right photo) from Jenny H and 2015's holiday gift exchange (I love polka dots!) <i>(Ivanka Trump ankle strap pumps, Freebird boots, both older)</i></p> <p>Pic #5 - Getting into some pearl action here with one of my favorite sweaters <i>(Talbots Outlet, last year)</i></p> <p>Pic #6 - More pearls, this time with a pale pink sweater with pearl buttons <i>(sweater, Macy's, booties, Sam Edelman-lighter than the pair in my Finds, both older)</i></p> <p>Pic #7 - I like how the handmade necklace matches the bright blue of the blazer <i>(J Crew Factory, last year)</i></p> <p>Pic #8 - Based on Angie's Ensemble post&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2016/01/08/ensemble-statement-skirt-black-support-act/">http://youlookfab.com/2016/01/.....pport-act/</a>. The left side is all black with a statement skirt <i>(JCP, older)</i>, the right side is all gray with a statement skirt <i>(JCP, older, the tights are gray, not black, both tees are from Macy's, older)</i>.</p> <p>Pic #9 - This plaid and gray hi-low sweatshirt top from F21 is an old favorite, and the Gap Resolution Slim Straights from last spring are a favorite that get worn constantly. I know not everyone likes the preppy look, but I love it and this preppy plaid pair of Sperry Top Siders caught my eye last October.</p> <p>Pic #10 - A weekend favorite - Distressed jeans (Gap, last spring), long sleeved tee <i>(Old Navy, fall 2014</i>, it says "Hello Weekend") and plaid purse <i>(Charming Charlie, new)</i></p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
