I never seem to wear mine with such panache. My fave is the emerald cardigan. Gorgeous color and style on you but you look fab in everything!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004899 Fri, 22 Feb 2019 14:01:32 +0000 RobinF 2004899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sweaters! I knit too and know how hard it is to make a sweater that fits so perfectly. In fact, I have knit many and just finished one that I think is the first that I liked by the time I was done and actually fits well! My favorite is that last tunic - gorgeous! And the way you are wearing it makes it very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004898 Fri, 22 Feb 2019 13:54:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2004898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I continue to be impressed by the continued variation. Honestly, before your posts, I always thought a hand-knit sweater was a squarish pullover (or maybe cardigan) with a round neck. Period. You do so many amazing things, all of them just right for your body and style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004877 Fri, 22 Feb 2019 12:17:52 +0000 Cee 2004877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...&nbsp;You're good...Woolly good ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004875 Fri, 22 Feb 2019 12:13:48 +0000 ChrisM 2004875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pics of your handknits are one of my favorite posts!</p> <p>YLF in all of them. I can’t pick a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004590 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 17:16:43 +0000 taylor 2004590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the close up . I love the yellow buttons.<br /> You are so talented! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004579 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 16:47:19 +0000 Diana 2004579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thanks ladies.</p> <p>Angie, I love emerald but I never see it in retail, which is part of why I don't own very much! &nbsp;This green stripes in the sweater are actually more of a grass green, not a true emerald, but the teal stripes make it appear cooler than it is. &nbsp;See (very old) photo below.</p> <p>Janet, I could probably make a sweater in a month, but that does not happen these days for many reasons (too many projects to stick to just one at a time, less time, wrist pain, etc). &nbsp;It's hard to say because I tend to take very long breaks on projects sometimes - for example, I have a sweater which is probably 95% done that I haven't worked on for months. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004563 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 16:10:13 +0000 ChristelJ 2004563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It takes a ginormous amount of skill to knit items that actually fit and look great like yours. You are awe-inspiring. I love all the combos here and your colors are some of my faves. I'm struggling with boots similar to yours in #3 - your fun and flattering outfit there reminds me to think outside the box a little more... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004540 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 15:23:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 2004540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a fabulous knitter I can only look on with envy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004515 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 13:41:51 +0000 viva 2004515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that tunic so much - it's amazing! In fact, all of these looks are. You are really a genius, Diana. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004499 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 12:28:28 +0000 Janet 2004499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so crazy talented! I love that teal cabled one on you, and the green is really nice too. Just curious, how long does it take for you to make a sweater?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004498 Thu, 21 Feb 2019 12:16:35 +0000 Anonymous 2004498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I would love a piece like that ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004379 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 22:23:08 +0000 Angie 2004379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a knitting pro, sweet<b> Diana.</b>&nbsp;Truly unique and eclectic. </p> <p>My eye went straight to the emerald green. I never see you in that colour, and I love it on you. Yummy with teal.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you had me with the '80s......super cute.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004351 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 21:34:34 +0000 Katerina 2004351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a genius. Your pieces are stunning. I LOVE the green cardigan and the 80ies inspired sweater in particular. The way you wear the tunic with the moto is very chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-various-handknits#post-2004340 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 21:10:44 +0000 Diana 2004340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Random outfits featuring handknit items from the past couple of weeks. &nbsp;</p> <p>1-2: &nbsp;Handknit tie-front cardigan that I wear very rarely. &nbsp;It really only works with skirts because of its length, and I'm currently favoring cardigans with more front coverage. &nbsp;Still, it's fun if a bit limiting in its styling possibilities. &nbsp;Here, I've paired it with a tee with interesting beaded neckline, striped skirt, tights, and tall boots.</p> <p>3: Handknit striped cardigan in a funky ensemble of bubble tunic, skinnies, and teal combat boots. &nbsp;This was a lot of fun to wear.</p> <p>4-5: Handknit cabled wool sweater. &nbsp;It's kind of 80's-inspired with puffy shoulders and slightly shorter, oversized fit. &nbsp;I go back and forth about whether I like this or not (the 80s are not my favorite) but since this type of sweater seems to be currently trending, I've been wearing it more lately. &nbsp;Also, it's the warmest sweater I own, and we've been having some incredibly cold weather lately.</p> <p>6-7: Handknit tunic that I wear all the time (I posted another WIW with it a few days ago in fact). &nbsp;With navy tweed moto, light wash skinnies, and tall boots. I haven't been feeling these super light wash jeans much lately, for no good reason, but I like the contrast here. &nbsp;</p>
