You all made my day with your kind comments :)<br /> @MTB: So glad the rugby blazer is getting some love. I really like it for some reason--just not sure it wasn’t too bold.<br /> @Joy: I think what I like about the scarf is the lack of bulk. It was so easy to wrap over the collar of my jacket today. Nothing hanging--I didn’t have to hold it back when reaching for anything.<br /> @Elly: Thanks! I still sometimes curse my shoulders but they do come in handy every once in awhile--particularly for filling out loose knits. Not so handy when trying to fit them in a woven : (<br /> @chouette: Good luck! It’s really simple. I recommend the YO buttonhole if you are using small buttons. I did a bound off buttonhole and need to buy some bigger buttons.<br /> bj111: Thank you! I’m not sure how many scarves I will have time to make. Even though they are shorter than a regular scarf, they are wider. I’ll keep you posted on my progress Not sure what yarn I will be using. I like the Hobby Lobby’s aran weight acrylic--so soft and easy care with great color selection. I’m afraid of using animal yarns because so many people are sensitive to wool. (Cashmere is kind of cost prohibitive.)<br /> @Scarlet: Thank you. IKWYM about the waist definition. I don’t think it is super flattering but I’m wondering if it was a deal breaker considering its purpose. Thanks for your honesty!<br /> @Alicat: Thank you. I’ve been enjoying my Cons a lot lately. I think my eye has finally adjusted and they don’t look so weird to me anymore. Davey says hi!<br /> @pil: Thank you! Fun is one of my style descriptors! Thanks!<br /> @BethAnn: Thank you. I’ve been having fun in my closet. The change in season is opening up some fun “old” options.<br /> @JJ: Can’t wait to see your version and to see what yarn you use.<br /> @Laura: Thanks! I saw lots of knitted inspirational pieces at Nordstrom. Next up is a fringed cowl. Will keep you posted!<br /> @una: Thanks! It’s knitted but I’m sure a crochet version would work as well. No bleach required :)<br /> @Jj: Thanks. I’m coat impaired. I see all of you with your fab puffers but I keep reminding myself this is just for very casual sporty events. I’d never need one for daily winter wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made/page/2#post-759463 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:30:18 +0000 Jjsloane 759463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love the outfits in #3! And of course your style is great throughout. The puffer looks a tad large, but not oversized. If it feels good it's definitely good for casual wear. The scarf is cute, I'd like to get one as a gift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made/page/2#post-759457 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 12:45:25 +0000 Suz 759457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - that scarf is fantastic, and the colour of the season! Love your outifits, too, especially all those in #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made/page/2#post-759406 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 05:24:15 +0000 catgirl 759406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfits, and how DID you make the scarf? So cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made/page/2#post-759237 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 00:07:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 759237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the coat on you - all the directional stitching makes it flattering even though it's a little puffy. And the scarf is super-cute. If only I knitted! I saw a sweater at Nordstrom today that was a cowlneck which then had fringe hanging down from the neck, so that knitted fringe look is definitely in. I would be a happy camper to get a scarf like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made/page/2#post-759204 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:57:20 +0000 JulieJohn 759204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, love all your outfits, especially #1, the neckline looks fantastic on you.</p> <p>I'm going to try to knit that scarf, I will return with results. Thank you for the idea! Fun!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made/page/2#post-759198 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:29:25 +0000 Anonymous 759198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all but really love the 3rd set of pics and the scarf is fantastic, would be a perfect gift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-759191 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:18:27 +0000 Anonymous 759191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love your transitional outfits!

You know your style so well and you just rock it day in and day out!</p> <p>And I, for one, would love to receive a scarf like that as a Christmas gift!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-759114 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:33:30 +0000 Beth Ann 759114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the thread, but I wanted to say that you look like you're in a great, creative remixing "zone" with these outfits. I'm particularly fond of the b/w striped sweater with bf jeans and the ensemble with the tartan jacket. And yes, the scarf is terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758952 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:59:10 +0000 pil 758952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you are too cute for words. It *almost* makes me not want to like you : )</p> <p>Only two pieces in that first picture, and it still looks fabulous. Love that striped sweater. And in the last shot with the gray Cons you just look like fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758934 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:44:53 +0000 Anonymous 758934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Kelly, nobody does casual style better than you! Love these looks. Anybody who gets one of those scarves is very, very lucky!</p> <p>p.s. Love you in those Cons!</p> <p>p.p.s. Scritches to Davey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758924 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 14:36:33 +0000 Scarlet 758924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I don't think the coat has enough waist definition. I love your WIWs though, especially the longer drapey ones are really after my own heart. I also love the blue/black striped jacket outfit--that looks so great! I am not sure about the scarf--it is kind of a new thing to me--I haven't seen something like it before, so I need to think about it. I love the color and fringe in any case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758873 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:11:51 +0000 lyn67 758873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all, and scarf is beautiful!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758861 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 12:27:20 +0000 Mona 758861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, the emerald green jacket and striped blazer are so cute. Your outfits are so well coordinated always. #3 is just perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758852 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:49:26 +0000 bj1111 758852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1,3 fron the first set and all of the last set! so super. </p> <p>how many of that fab scarf are you making? do you have enough time to, um, knit an extra one for rachy and me? srly love the idea.</p> <p>what yarn are you using? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758848 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:19:07 +0000 chouette22 758848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for the measurements on the scarf and the link! I will definitely make it. What I overlooked were the buttonholes... I haven't touched knitting needles in 20 years and never integrated buttonholes into my knitting before. Will definitely need to research that little detail! lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758793 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 04:28:49 +0000 Elly 758793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I particularly love look number 1---- You always look great and I aspire to pull off that slouchy look! I'm a little more hourglass than you, but I also have IT shoulders. Inspiring, but I still haven't figured out how to pull it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758782 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 03:32:05 +0000 Anonymous 758782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scarf you made is fantastic! What a great way to keep the neck warm without a lot of bulk! You look adorable in your outfits, but my favorites are in frame 3 with your scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758745 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 02:11:06 +0000 morethanbeige 758745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute coat. Love the rugby blazer. And what a great scarf. You look adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758737 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 02:01:27 +0000 kellygirl 758737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the thumbs up, rachylou, Makrame, Zap,Susie, moira, Shu and Caro! I’m excited that the scarf is going over well. It’s a quick knit and would make a unique gift, I think.<br /> @Angie: I’m floored that you like #3! A big thank you!<br /> @kcanshop: Glad the coat passes muster. It is not very exciting but it will serve a purpose and it’s something that I don’t have to worry about--soccer, field hockey, lots of puddles, wet grass, mud. I kind of like that it is plain--I always get such *looks* when I wear my red metallic trench.<br /> @Carole: Thank you. I usually just figure on being cold--last year was the last straw though. I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to be ready when foul weather comes. The scarf is knit although it would be easy to crochet something similar. It’s basically a 12” x 30” rectangle with buttonholes on one end (about an 1.5 from the end.) Mine is 12” wide including the fringe.<br /> @Astrid: Thanks. The coat is pretty toasty. I think it will work in the snow too but it never gets much below 38 around here (and that’s not often.) It’s the least warm of the LE coats. Mine is S regular and fits perfect--perhaps a little roomy in the body and hips though.<br /> @Laura: I saw an oxblood sweater at Nordstrom--TopShop. This is my cheaper version. I just needed a bit of this color.<br /> @chouette22: Thank you. That's such a nice thing to say I found a pattern on Ravelry for mock rib scarf with buttons and just made it wider and added fringe. I will try to post the link. I used US8 and worsted weight--just some acrylic I had in stash. I think three buttons would work better and hold the lower flap in place more securely. 12” (including fringe) by approximately 30”. It’s the dimensions shown on the Anthro website. I cast on 42 stitches.<br /> @Aida: Thanks! Lol about the shoulders. I think it is fine but will take another look at it. I felt too constricted in the medium--this is large.</p> <p>ETA: Here's the link to the pattern:<br /> <a href="http://purlverde.wordpress.com/2009/12/30/mock-brioche-mock-the-cold/" rel="nofollow">http://purlverde.wordpress.com.....-the-cold/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758674 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:23:28 +0000 Aida 758674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I love all the WIWs and everything about #3! (Can I also join you for xmas?? That scarf is SUPER awesome!) Not sure if the puffer is going to be too warm, but it does look fine for what you describe. Quite like the rugby blazer, but are the shoulder seams down too far? (I know we are not used to that sort of thing!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758672 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:18:52 +0000 chouette22 758672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are always some of my favorites! Each one is wonderful and I'd wear them all in a heartbeat. You look fantastic. And wow, that scarf, I love it! How clever to copy! I'd love to make one for myself and for a friend who shares my birthday which is coming up soon (I was wondering what to get her and this would be perfect). I assume you just improvised and didn't use a pattern? Would you mind sharing the size/length/width you used? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758669 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:17:31 +0000 Laura 758669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a darned cute scarf - and in *the* color of the season! I'd say you're going to have some happy friends and family this Christmas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758654 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:59:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 758654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all - the scarf looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758641 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:47:36 +0000 Shu 758641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love one of those scarves, so I hope they're hip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/transitional-wiws-kr-lookit-what-i-made#post-758620 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:17:47 +0000 moira 758620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could not pick out my favorite.
