W...I think this is the most beautiful sweater ever. Wow is right. You are so talented and so is Mr. Kaffee Fassett. I've admired his designs since I was a young girl in the 80's. My mother was an avid knitter and brought home one of his knitting books. His patterns are so warm and opulent. <br /><br />It is the kind of garment I might wear layered. So some subtle under-pinings like some black leggings and turtleneck with tall black boots with an over sized scarf to anchor it. <br /><br />Or you could take it to a framer to place in a shadow box.<br /><br />Wear it around the house as the most luxurious winter house coat.<br /><br />Those are some of my ideas.<br /><br />:)Danahttp://www.dcowie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774857645428726855.post-8972703494335293092009-07-17T15:56:26.976+01:002009-07-17T15:56:26.976+01:00i knit a coat but much simpler than yours but stil...i knit a coat but much simpler than yours but still left it aside, thought i'd never wear it, too "showy".<br />then i took it on a travel with me and it seems to work. so nw whenever i make something that i cannot bring myself to wear i take it on a travel with me and i get lots of pictures of me in it and it is associated with a city. i made "roman holiday" that you can view on ravelry, it's bulky yarn.<br />i am guessing that if you blockstretched your hem, it would look "Now".<br />ps my ravelry name is ZazZazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954731527647200766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774857645428726855.post-83639074258819623092009-03-20T09:33:00.000+00:002009-03-20T09:33:00.000+00:00you are so inspiring to me! wow.you are so inspiring to me! wow.Suzy Rusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279233945568063249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774857645428726855.post-43865507314869684792009-03-03T04:41:00.000+00:002009-03-03T04:41:00.000+00:00Wear it, wear it!

Is it uncomfortable or heavy? Wear it, I say!
