*fair (isle) weather friend*
my favorite design team of all time has to be dolce & gabbana. their collections are always so flirty & girly, yet grown up & sexy too. just enough color, sassiness & over-the-topness to always be on the verge of mind-blowing. one of my favorite seasons was fall RTW 2010…with the gorgeous contrast of sheer fabrics & fair isle knits. it was so much so my favorite that i was determined to DIY myself a lot of the knitwear.
that was *over* a year ago…bwahaha! so far, all i had gotten done was this…a sad, sad emulation to this top. i had actually gotten as far as knitting one outstandingly poufy sleeve, but now it’s been so long, i can’t remember how i did it to knit the other one. that’s what i get for not writing what i’m doing as i go along as i tend to knit a lot just by eyeing it vs. following a pattern. oh well…HALF a DIY is better than none at all right? i did manage to knit a scarf last year to match this one. that counts…kinda, sorta? i still have high hopes that i can finish this top off in fine fashion. if not…well, maybe i’ll just attach the one sleeve & consider it my *avant garde* look! at least the tube top wondrously matches the lining of my blazer today. extra points for that, right? hahaha!
