:: i forgot ::

I think in June or July - Gosh I even forget because I have been wearing this for a while now and I absolutely love it,it's just I didn't have a chance to snap a better picture of it. So enjoy what I have for now. (Thanks DH for taking this one anyway).

The behind story about it...
For this one I must thank an anonymous commenter on my blog, show pointed me toward a German lady's magazine (probably like Marie Claire here) it's named Fur Sie. Don't know how or on what basis, but that particular magazine comes out every 2 weeks and they started having knitwear patterns, which are more knock-offs to the public, they are free and available to download to public online. Here is the combo of their summer patterns available in a pdf on their site. And their knock-off collection from 2006. Poke around and you will find so much more! Only they are in German... I use google language tool for that reason.
But whatever makes one happy, not paying market price for the well-marketed brand name. The quality lies in your hands as long as you posses the skill!

Overwhelmed.. I purged through my stash and made a decision on the one I would like to make and wear this summer. I happen to have quite a bit of Karabella Zodiac for something else I got from Yarnbow a year ago, but it was the colorways I needed, so I made that justification, if stash yarn hasn't been used for a year, it's never going to be knit up in the original plan or might as well use it for something else.
This was straightly a commute knit again, took 4 days.
Yes, it's Gianfranco Ferre original(RIP his soul), Fur Sie Pattern and the one made by me from that pattern.

Karabella Zodiac , 100% cotton and US 7 addis.
7 skeins in white and one skein in sapphire.
Mods: Only made collar a bit smaller/shorter. Easy pattern.

Fur Sie also had the another GFF Pullover Pattern in, but I should say the knock-offs and versions started popping out EVERYWHERE people. Each Picture is linked to it's Pattern.



Famous Pringle of Scotland Aran Sweater has been knocked off for 2 seasons now.
To start with Victorias Secret Selling it for starters as a garment. And talented Svetlana knocking it off straight from the picture first. Then Miss Twiss making hers into a cardigan.


And there are sooo much more, I just can't remember or recollect more where I have seen stuff, you if know, you can comment so I will keep adding to the list of patterns. There is something about Runway/Fashion that enslaves us and makes those object to desire. Afterall it is an inspiration to many and with many more to come.

P.S.
Hub recently re-discovered a knitting related song..LOL
