on a perfect stream of love and drink


Oh, whats that? I've finally finished knitting my own Rodarte copycat sweater?? Yes, it's true!

Last time I updated on the knitting project, I had finished the body but not the sleeves. Now the whole shebang is finally complete. :)

It may not have the same rips, snags and holes as a real Rodarte would, but I knitted it by myself and I'm damn proud. In fact, I'm already thinking about what my next copycat knitting project will be...

Just dropping by.... LOVE the sweater. Rodarte are one of the best labels around right now, imo.

WendyB said...

Nice work!

Diane said...

Wow, that looks great! I wasn't sure what to expect when you were starting it but I'm glad it turned out so well; you wear it nicely.

Was it difficult to do? All I've ever done knitting-wise is start a scarf. That was months and months and months ago and I never finished it!

Madeline Zoe said...

Wow! This looks really great. I've been interested in knitting for a while, but in between age six (when I learned) and now, I've utterly forgotten. Any resources you can suggest?
Love your blog, by the way.

oneparade.blogspot.com is my current residence, if you care to gaze at it's majesty (or lack thereof). I don't have much up, but it's better to promote while it's young, haha.

Thanks!

This looks like real Rodarte! if I were to attempt to make this it would probably end up a big shlumpy mess. How did you get it fit perfectly.

Deborah said...

Great job on the sweater! I want to make a sweater like that but I have no idea how to make a neckline on sweaters.

Daaaaang, girl! This is freaking sweet! I would never be able to knit such a complex garment, I'll stick with my little square potholders, ha!

So awesome, and I like how it's not a completely obvious Rodarte rip-off. You put your own spin on it ;D

maria a. bogdanova said...

awesome! you should try to make something from their fw09 collection.

Emy. said...

so that sweater is completely AMAZING! I wish I knew how to knit, I'd attempt one like it, but my hands are the most uncoordinated and definitely not attached to my brain. :-p

it's beautiful!

ohphilippa said...

Lucinda said...

I ask the question ..."on a perfect stream of love and drink"

before I borrow that phrase, if I may, what does it mean to you?

Thought I'd ask. Please comment.

By the way, sweater's great...color is even better.

Hey Lucinda, the title of my post is a line from the song Fortunately Gone by the Breeders. You should check it out!
