I once used this cable pattern on a knitted crop sweater so many posts back. Here it is again, on an oversized sweater, in one of my favorite colors. I love every shade of brown. And of course, a cup of tea. How has everyone been? Its been a while. . . . . . . . . . . . #knit #knitting #knitter #knittedcables #cables #intertwinedcables #cablesweater #oversizedsweater #knittedsweater #knittedfashion #handmadefashion #handmade #handmadewatdrobe #winterfashion #knittersgonnaknit #tea #cozy #etsy #etsyshop #etsymom #etsyseller #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner (at Nairobi, Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmynH7ZHLQe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13jb75y2oe4og

“The chunky cardigan is from L Train Vintage, and the sweater underneath is my mother’s old sweater from Esprit (which she wore when she was pregnant with me), the 70s pants I grabbed off Ebay and the thrifted shoes are by MIA. My current favorites are Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons and a 80s new wave/New Romantics band called Alaska y Los Pegamoides. I am really into the color palette of just red and pink together or separately because of the collection I am working on is in this palette (I am a fashion design student at Parsons). Also, some visual artists I am really inspired by lately are Andrea Hasler and Keith Edmier who also work in this pink/red palette.”

Its been a while. Here, the mustard yellow moss stitch sweater, I am redoing it, all over again . I am not even sad, I'm okay when my plans don't work out as planned, I'll just postpone knitting the ruffle dress, the maroon shawl and everything else that I had to do this coming week. #obsidiancrafts (at Nairobi, Kenya)

Do you have particular tones of colours that you just can’t resist? With me, it’s this exact shade of forest green - not too teal, not too bottle green, just right. I’d been wanting a cardigan/jumper in this particular shade of green for ages, so when I saw this one on Boohoo, I just snapped it right up even though it’s a size M/L from the straight size section! And I’m so relieved to say that it fits perfectly, just how you’d want a boyfriend cardigan to fit, with that wee bit of bagginess that makes it look so cosy. Calling all inbetweenies, if you’re roughly my size (UK 18-20, US 14-16) and you’ve been looking for the perfect forest green cardigan, here it is! And if you’re in the US, it’s only $16 on the cyber monday sale!
My clutch is also from Boohoo - isn’t the embroidery delightful?! I don’t know if you can tell but the golden thread is metallic and catches the light like a dream. It’s the perfect day to evening bag for winter. I don’t know what it is about dark florals that always gets my attention, but I just cannot imagine autumn/ winter without them. You’ll see that I’ve also incorporated some of my other favourite autumn colours into this outfit - namely mustard and burgundy - so I’m pretty much wearing all the fall shades at once. It’s hard to go wrong with this colour palette! What are your favourite shades for cold weather dressing? Do you love dark monochromes or would you go all out in a riot of colours as well? Let me know in the comments!
