Don't forget patterns!
If you opt for stripes, try a variegated pattern like this one, which has stripes that narrow at the waist for a slimming effect! C&C California striped Daredevil cashmere sweater, also at shopbop.com.

You may wish to try a textured sweater for a change, like the LaRok gray zipper front shaggy vest pictured above. Visit singer22.com.
Of course, cashmere is most comfy and covetable, but there are tons of more affordable options, like this cabled cowl neck sweater vest at right from alloy.com!

My favorite in the Cavalli sweater.
Some of the others,like that bell shaped dress,is a bit too much.
soo excited for fall and winter. can´t wait to wear my knitted sweaters and dresses! cool post!
nice post..i'm already looking for knitwear for the first winter i'll be experiencing in england...
I love fall because of knitting. Cute images! I feel so inspired...
I love knits, but hardly wear them, as they make me feel really fat :(
This reminds me for Jillian's knitwear for Project Runway! Brilliant picks, as usual! I'd love to have a kintted sweater!
There is one really good thing about fall, and that is knitwear! Great post sweetie:)
where did u find this top shop pics? i love top shop. top is my spot! i dint c this pictures of ad campaign so im quite excited! can wait to c this in stores.
from other stuff i like blumarine the best for i love the color they have used. its suits my skin tone perfectly.
on a perfect Stella M. inspired knit hunt... even though summer is coming here. I does get chilly some nights- which warrant a big, comfy knit... totally justifiable. ;)
GREAT POST LADY!
Loves.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
you are fantastic!!!
really nice blog
fabulous fantastic
I love the look of an oversized sweater with tights and boots. :)
I love knits!!!
They're so confy and warmer. We really need them here in the end of fall and in winter!!!!
Very interesting ones you picked, I was really impressed with that Matthew Williamson, seems a blazer and it's really nice.
I have several knits in cardigans, sweaters, turtlenecks and I know I have some cownecks upstairs in boxes that I must digg for "old stuff that can be worn again" LOL
Well that's what happens when you're a keeper like me....
Thank you for posting this, gave me inspiration for what I have to digg ;)
Thank you also for your kind words, I'm glad you found my post interesting.
And what I've said about you was really honest, you're really amazing.
Have a nice weekend
xoxo
Knits have really been getting wild.
You always find the best looks! I adore the Blumarine creation in the first picture :-)
xx
There are some pretty PUFFY knits in that collection... oh please don't bring back the cowl!
Being a Canadian girl, I spend half my year in knits. I really try to make them as unique and interesting as they can be. And cashmere, natch! K
Awesome! I love these knits--they look so comfy and cosy.
I can't say enough about how much I adore knits..loving that Blumarine piece, and the last sweater
Goodness me so many favourites! Blumarine, Jean Paul Gaultier, Emma Cook!
I love that the knit can be more then just another sweater - some designers have really turned it into a statement piece!
I'm definitely looking for some sweaters/knits for fall.
I mean, Jessica Stam could make a garbage bag look chic. Ridic.
I've been wearing olive colourd 'nana' knit this winter. All these kints look quite fab but kints sometimes do make girls look like say grandma I think.. how to wear knits smartly regardless of its design... one thing to think about..
my fav - Doo Ri, carlos and of course, Hermes
that rodarte probably cost an arm and a leg. =/ but, i'd love to own it.
I look at your pictures and play games, as if they were cards ... I pick one ... "Pringle of Scotland" (I wore so many Pringle when I was in my teens, so classic and yet so modern), and of course, if I have a joker, let it be Kenzo!
Hi Couture Carrie-my fave is the Kenzo-so vibrant and lifting for winter!!
loving these-espe the fuschia wrap with the turquoise/green skirt and the little ivory oolala number below it...great post!
Nice post. I love cozy knits.
Knitwear, I love you.
kisses, your biggest fan!
wow cool! I really like the knits that stick to one monochrome color...since knits are so bulky it looks extra nice in white, black or grey. that red ensemble is wonderful too! Thanks for posting so many pictures! I know it takes a lot of time and effort, so it is not unappreciated. :)

the Pringle of Scotland is gorgeous, so dark & Gothic, yet chic & not too much.
I also loved the ones with the little hint of "lumberjack" what do u call them, the checkered red & black =)
I love Stella McCartney, and Margiela as expected but Diesel, i like it a lot - what a shocker. Thanks for another great post!!!
Loved them all. My favorite is the first one though!
I don't know what I wouldn't do for some Fall Rodarte!
Love Adam and Blumarine, Just perfectly perfect :) !!!
Your post is quite good. New here and i'm lovin' it ! hehe.
Oups, i miss the right section. Sorry, it wasn't for knits but about this i'm really amazed by Sonia as usual !
yaay knits!!! hehe i've never particularly worn knitted sweaters, but now i think i might just ask my mom to teach me how to knit ;))) xoxo, lulu
Love your blog! All the pictures are so nice! Cheers!
