My Fashionable Life

Lovely!

I do think your lean clean lines of fashion are quite brilliant, and I do like this cardigan, yes indeed.

I wonder if I could wear one?

Lovely!
That must be my holiday knitting.

Looks marvellous. And if you hadn't told us that the yarn was a cheap one, I never would have guessed it. Looking forward to the pattern going live. And great to see you smiling in a photo too!

Gorgeous!

Super cute!

anna, this coat is like a dream! gorgeous. and please hurry with the pattern, i'd love to make one.
love the photos! (are you sporting a new hairstyle?)

Your coat is just stunning. I can't wait to see the pattern!

that sweater is so adorable. so is your cat!

It looks splendid! Warm and cozy and yet also quite chic. I love when those things happen together. It's rare.

Wow! Its so beautiful...

Fantastic! Plus, very sexy shoes. Vive le wedge!

Wow, anna, that is one gorgeous looking coat! I will definitely look forward to your releasing the pattern. It's so simply stylish and looks so snuggly too. I just hope it's in a gauge I like (I usually like knits that are Dk weight or less). Congrats on yet another lovely pattern!

i love it! looks warm and comfy.

Methinks you are the fastest knitter in the west. How come I have been off work and still only managed to knit a baby blanket in the time it's taken you to knit a coat? It's gorgeous!

Now we know you're really back. You must be feeling better. I love this coat. It's absolutely lovely.

I've been wanting to make a sweater jacket so it comes as a perfect time. What beautiful lines of the pattern.

it's lovely and so flattering on you. i rather like the idea of nightie and dressing gown..

Anna, it's a slam-dunk. I love this. I don't think I'd want to take it off, either! Beautiful!

Lovely work Anna! I know that my chic granny would love to wear Flicca. (And so would I!)

Oh this is fabulous! What an excellent job. Can't wait for the pattern :)

Oh it is perfect, just like the lovely sketch, I really want to make this one.

There is so much to love here. Good gracious. Excellently styled photo shoot!!!

Well done, Anna!

I'm happy to see you posting more often of late.

Really great coat/cardi. I'm thinking that may be a good next year project. I notice that your sweet kitty isn't wearing his sweater - and I know that I'm thinking of knitting my kitty one...did he not take to it after all?

Your smile... the very best thing to see. ; ) The cardigan coat is FANTASTIC! Looking forward to details.

Anna, it's lovely. Chic and wearable and obviously comfortable. I've added it to the list of projects in queue and am looking forward to seeing the pattern.

Marvellous! I adore the shoes as well. The kitty really threatens to steal the show.

oh...you look absolutely gorgeous! too damn cute. and you know what? that coat ain't half bad either.

Argh! It's perfect! --At least, what I can see of it is. . . How about some detail shots? What's up with the neckline? How exactly DO you keep it in place? Can you at least divulge the gauge, yarn used, needle size, if not the pattern?

I absolutely love it! Such a fabulous look - timeless, classic and still funky enough to be current. A long cardy that is a quick knit? I gotta see this for myself. Waiting patiently...

whoops. I forgot. You already waxed rapturous about the yarn.

looks fabulous!

Delurking to say what a wonderful coat that is. It looks cozy as all out. And I love your series of photos with Jnr. His series of head motions are hilarious.

Wow, I love this! I am already trying to decide what color to make mine. . .The grey is really perfect, though!

Love it. Love it. Love it. I am ready to go out and buy the yarn today!

Lovely! I think I'll be making one in grey as well! And I'm with you on the closure -- I much prefer a cardigan that I can snuggle myself in if I need to close it :o)

Gorgeous! It looks very cuddly, which I agree, is of primary importance in a cardi!

I would really love to see some close up photos. It looks like there is some cabling going on in there.
It fits just right on you too.

Oh Anna, this is fabulous!

Love It! Can't wait for the pattern!

How nice to see you looking so happy. You can't be too sad around a pet, I don't think, or while wrapped in so much coziness.

Oh! How fantastic! You look brilliant in it!! Can't wait for the pattern!

Looks terribly comfortable!

The sweater looks lovely! I can't wait until you have it available for purchase. Wonderful work, as always!

Gorgeous! I definitely can see myself knitting it and wearing it. Love the shoes too.

Delightful, versatile, elegant.. what more can one want, and especially useful this time of year too! Great job.

Oh my, this is one gorgeous knit. I can't wait to buy the pattern. I am already looking at colour choices for the sirdar - a fabulous wearable and chic design.

Brilliant. This is wonderful, Anna. I'm looking forward to it.

It's so nice to see you back.

So pretty!

What a wonderful sweater... and what a cute haircut!

Oh, such a scrumptous cardi! How can I resist when it's named after one of my all-time favourite childhood books! By the way, you look adorable in your photo shoot.

That looks very beautiful, especially with a dress like you wear I think, and still casual. Congratulations, and let me tell you that I love your patterns.

I have been wanting to make something like this. It looks gorgeous. Please let us know when the pattern will be available. Also give yarn suggestions. Happy knitting.

Another top drawer design. Hurry up with the pattern. This is something I will DEFINITELY be knitting. Well done. Take care you

oh my! gorgeous! you look fantastic in it and the pictures are beautiful too.

I like it *a lot*. It looks like glamorous lounge-wear, which is just my favourite sort of clothing!

Delurking to say how fabulous it looks and how much I like the photoshoot! Put the pattern up quick. Yesterday I realised I wasn't going to make the cardigan pattern I had in mind and now have lots of grey chunky wool lying around spare. This is obviouly kismet!

You look very comfortable and quite fashionable for your journey. I thank you in advance for making this pattern I can't wait to make one myself!

LOVELY!!
It's fashionable yet comfy. A timeless piece that can be matched with just about anything in your wardrobe. You can dress it up or down.
Brilliant!!

Oh how lovely this coat/cardigan is. I look forward to seeing the pattern and trying my hand at it.

Would you please post a photo showing the ribbing? I was so interested in your sketch; I'd love to see how it works a little more closely.

Your knitting is just so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.

My god, this is so beautiful!

Wow that came out fantastic! It looks great but comfy too.

Lovely! I'll be anxiously awaiting the pattern. I would also love to know where you got your dress though! Can you share?

Love this coat! Must have pattern, please put out the pattern quickly.

This is STUNNING I really love it

First things first - Flicca is truly stunning. It's not the thought of knitting a coat that makes me feel slightly queasy though..it's the thought of how I'd look wearing said coat, even though I'm making steady progress from former blob-state to what is now a definite hourglass shape (43 kilograms down, a few more to go...). Still, much as I love Flicca, sadly she's not meant for me.
Maude the cat seems quite smitten with Jnr. by the way..she's sitting on my lap, looking at the monitor, purring...he really is a handsome fellow and very photogenic indeed. But I bet he knows that very well, doesn't he?

It looks just beautiful!

oh wow..your new design is marvelous. you're always so inspiring.

your design aesthetic appeals to me greatly. whether I could wear this particular cardi is another question but I may have to knit it anyway. I have been dreaming of it all night!

you look awfully cute, too! quite impish : )

(ditto the others' comments on your shoes/dress etc.)

Just beautiful , Anna. I love the grey. I first found your blog when googling "knitted dress", as I was in the process of making one. I have since finished it, and it has worked well. I think this pattern would adapt well into the sort of dress I made, which was a schooly vest/pinafore in black, with argyle on the front of the bodice, flared A-line skirt. I thought to make a grey vesion with cable detail on the bodice. It could go into a flared rib skirt, similar to the skirt on your coat.

Fabulous Anna, as always. Perfect for smartish winter comfort - nothing nicer than having a warm woollen to throw on over a dress.

It's really gorgeous!! I have loved all your knitting and always look forward to checking your blog! You're a knitting inspiration!

A 52" bust. Yes! Thanks!

Super! I think this is a wonderful piece to have and simply perfect until spring.
Is that a graduated rib or is it the weight of the fabric pulling the rib wider? Whatever, I love the effect. Congratulations on a lovely and cozy cardigan.

AWESOME! i want a boy version!

gorgeous... it looks so comfy!

What a superb cardigan and I am encouraged to give it a go. Your work is impeccable.

You are adorable! You make me want to be adorable also. Have a lovely weekend. Debbie

Love it! You are spot on with this piece. Congratulations! I'll be checking back in for the pattern.

So cute. I hope you do the pattern up to a 52" bust. I would love to make the pattern

Another beauty. Fabulous coat and wonderful photos too...the french doors, the cat, the soothing colours and oolala purple tights!

Oh yes, another great pattern from you! I have Bridie swatched and ready to go and think this may be another one for me to get my paws on....

It looks lovely. I've just bought Jess after seeing your recent link. I can't wait to start it.

So nice and basic and GREY! Love it. So sweet your kitty joined in the photo shoot.

Beautiful, Anna! Cardigans are my favourite items of clothing, so what could be better than a really big cardigan that can swallow a person up? I love it. And the cat is a nice touch. :)

Oh, lovely! Elegant and comfortable-looking, just as you say. You and Jnr both look smashing - black cats are (as any fule kno) the best sort of cats and what a lovely smile you have!

Anna - as usual, lovely pattern!~
You look fetching!

terrific!

This is a gorgeous garment. I wish i could see it in person. Can't wait to hear about the pattern.

So lovely. I can't wait to make one for myself.

Lovely sweater. It looks warm and cozy.

I wanted to e-mail you a picture of the Jess I just finished, but I didn't see any way to do that, so I'll just send you this comment -- I finished one, it's lovely, and if you'd like to see a picture, send me an e-mail.

So gorgeous! You look so happy sporting it. Congratulations. I can't wait for the pattern! Looks so cozy.

cute black kitty!!!!

This is beautiful! I can't wait for the pattern.

Hallo und guten Tag, verstehe ich es richtig:
kann ich die Anleitung für den grauen Strickmantel kaufen? Was bitte müsste ich tun??
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bemühungen und einen schönen Tag Heidi Knauer
