No Knitwear?

Everyone owns at least one item of knitwear in their wardrobe. From cable knit to basket weave, knitwear will always to be in fashion in some shape or form. But lets take a fresh look at knitwear this autumn.

When some people think of knitting they think of an old women, sat on a rocking chair, knitting away. But this is no longer the case, knitting is making a comeback.

From bow ties to teddy bears, you can buy knitting patterns for almost anything now-a-days. And once your tired of your creation, you can UN-thread it all and make something new! Meaning there is no need to throw away the yarn.

One designer (Sarah Backlund) has not only embraced knitwear, but has also entwined femininity into her pieces.  Her unique take on knits and uses for them is inspiring, and also beautiful to look at.

Capes have made a big comeback this season, so what could be better than a floral, knitted & crocheted cape? Prudence Mapstone has created a gorgeous cape called "From Midnight to First Light." this beautiful cape would not only look fabulous on a autumn day, but would look great in summer! Note the detail in the cape, beautiful.
