Love the two shades of purple there :).

Do you have a local yarn store? They often have weekly or at least regular knit nights, where even if they're not your deal, you might meet someone you click with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1082170 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 05:07:40 +0000 E 1082170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colours on you &amp; yay for handmade accessories! How clever of you to fix the neckline: I didn't realise it was a crewneck until I read the description. I've gotten very into knitting recently and am thus terribly jealous of your knitting buddy; I don't know any local ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1082126 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 04:25:42 +0000 Word Lily 1082126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! (Sorry for the late response; I read them all pretty much in real time, but life is crazy and I didn't have the energy or hands (hello, toddler) to craft response(s). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1081279 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:42:36 +0000 kellygirl 1081279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW! I think the scarf totally works to create a nice vee on that sweater. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1081271 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:37:45 +0000 Wendi1984 1081271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the V is very flattering. I've been thinking of trying something similar with a pendant on my higher-necked tops, to create the feel of a v-neck. Yours looks good! Welcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1081235 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:58:08 +0000 Marmee 1081235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your first WIW! &nbsp;I really like the two purples together, and handmade scarves are always nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1081232 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:52:56 +0000 Anonymous 1081232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit! I think the pastels look really nice with your soft coloring, and the hand-crocheted scarf is lovely. I'm always envious of people with crafting skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1081228 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:48:47 +0000 amiable 1081228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the V that the scarf creates over the sweater. &nbsp;The visually&nbsp;lowered neckline and the nice V shape is really flattering on you, I think.</p> <p>And I think Angie's said that pastels are on their way back in force, so we'll probably start seeing and wearing them more in the next few months... &nbsp;</p> <p>Congrats on your first WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-first#post-1081216 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:25:58 +0000 Word Lily 1081216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this site last week, and was immediately down the rabbit hole, consumed. The reading I did that day (last Tuesday, I think) gave me the idea to pair this (hand crocheted, years ago) skinny scarf for both the somewhat bolder color and maybe a hint of a V over the pastel (I realized I've kind of quit wearing pastels, which I used to look fab in; maybe I'm just over it, or maybe my hair darkening has made them less ideal?) crew neck, which I wasn't very happy with when I donned it.</p> <p>I put the scarf on to take the tot and head to a friend's house for a play date slash knitting and adult conversation time.</p> <p>Did my fix work, at least partially? Other thoughts?</p> <p>(I'm still figuring out how to take pix if they happen after DH leaves for work ...) </p>
