Preen: F/W 2011

Preen - not necessarily my favourite collection thus far (not loving the styling), but by far my FAVE SWEATERS this season!! i've been dreaming about the millions of ways i would wear these magical jacquard sweaters!!

well if we're on the topic of macrame...

Proenza Schouler's Fall 2011 show definitely touched on the topic of macrame (yes, we DO love Proenza here at Knitorious). though macrame isn't technically a knit... in any sense actually... it's pretty evident that it relates. i can picture many intarsias, pointelles, arans, cables and even jacquards when looking at these intricate uses of yarn!

these macrame shoes are sure to be a hot commodity next Fall!

can we also talk about their amazing knits?? i love the way they've shown the technical back side of these birds-eye-back jacquard! often pairing them with separates showing the face side. and need i mention the colours?? and i thought it'd be impossible to follow up those incredible ikats from preFall! discuss amongst yourselves!

"Knits were another big component: They ranged from a utilitarian ribbed sweater dress

to Fair Isle cardigans inspired by Wauchob's own roots (she is of Irish origin) to a

delicate black crochet skirt made by nuns in Africa."

I increased needle size as I knit from a size 5.5 to 10,

that's why it appears to be tight knit at hem, and loosens up as it progresses.
