I really enjoyed wearing this and have several more ideas for the sweater. I love lace sweaters. In fact I'm knitting another one right now!</p> <p>Angie, that is the most flattering compliment ever! I only wish I was as stylish as the ladies in Hong Kong!</p> <p>Traci, I hadn't thought of chain mail but now that you mention it, I can totally see it. Fun!</p> <p>Barbara Diane, you should totally try knitting! Although of course you still have to learn how to fit things, it's not hard once you have a little practice under your belt. And you have a head start being on ylf and knowing how you WANT things to fit. When I started knitting I didn't really understand things like body proportions (other than knowing I was a pear) or how to emphasize/de-emphasize body parts. </p> <p>Joy, deep summer (July-August) here is too hot and humid for any sort of sweater so my "summer" sweaters are really for late spring/early summer. And of course I go to the mountains every summer where it gets cool at night...in those situations I would definitely wear it like you described. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-summer-handknit-sweater#post-1736098 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 03:38:27 +0000 Suz 1736098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful sweater on you, Diana.

You are right, it looks perfect for now. In summer you may be able to wear it over a cami in the evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-summer-handknit-sweater#post-1736079 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 02:26:51 +0000 Anonymous 1736079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous sweater and boots.<br /> Plain colours but very interesting outfit.<br /> Thank you for the close up of your sweater.

I've spent so much time over the last 1-2 years looking for the sweater I want. I wonder if I could have learned to knit and knit one in the same amount of time. Of course, like usual, I bet fit would be a challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-summer-handknit-sweater#post-1735945 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 21:16:15 +0000 Tanya 1735945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful new sweater, you are so talented.&nbsp; I love the effect of it layered over a darker dress, great textural interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-summer-handknit-sweater#post-1735940 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 21:04:27 +0000 JAileen 1735940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

This is lovely Diana. The '90's styling works a treat. I like the look of your socks peeking out over your boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-summer-handknit-sweater#post-1735881 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 19:24:16 +0000 Diana 1735881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this was supposed to be my "summer" sweater, but given that summer here is generally way too hot and sticky for even a holey linen blend sweater... I really didn't feel inspired to finish it up until late September.&nbsp; Oops.&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; The upside is of course that it's the perfect weather to wear it now.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, it's made from a rustic linen/cotton blend yarn in an arrowhead lace pattern.&nbsp; I went for a kind of 90's look today by popping it over a navy dress and pairing with cutout combat boots with grey socks.&nbsp; I'm liking the current trend for visible socks - it makes these cutout boots a lot easier to wear.&nbsp; </p> <p>Ravelry link for knitting details:<br /><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/february-fitted-pullover" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/project.....d-pullover</a></p> <p>(handknit sweater, COS dress, Matiko boots, smartwool socks) </p>
