A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am in love. Lookey: http://www.twistcollective.com/collection/index.php/component/content/article/60-winter-2008-patterns/147-sylvi-by-mari-muinonen But I can't knit. Does anyone know of any knitting services where I could get this knocked up affordably? Isn't it Red Riding Hood GORGEOUS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Absolutely gorgeous Shame my mum isn't alive she was a fabulous knitter and loved doing complicated patterns like that. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I can knit - but it would probably be out of fashion by the time I ever finished that. Plus I would probably knit it in rainbow stripes!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 A friend of mine custom knits. She's a superb knitter and crotcheter too. i am always amazed by her beautiful creations too. She's on holiday in France at the moment but I'm sure she'd give you a quote when she gets back. I'll pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 That is soooo gorgeous, will have to be nice to my mil me thinks. I never ask her to make stuff normally as she gets bored and deviates from the pattern, hopefully this should be different enough to keep her happy!

Fizzle Knit Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'd love one of those too, it's gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Looks great-and not too complicated! I would offer to knit it for you, as it should grow quite quickly due to the needle size it's knitted on. I couldn't do it affordably though, otherwise I'd be paid slave labour rates of about £1 an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post some more of your knitting goodness! (I may have found a knitter...) Hee, hee. Multi-skilled! I've knitted for the past few years-I'm just a bit more confident now. Hope you have found your knitter, it looks like a wonderful garment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yipee -MIL has agreed to knit this for me, though she doesn't guarantee it'll be ready for Christmas. Now the dilemma is what colour, do I go for the lovely little red riding effect pictured, or would I get more wear out of another colour....a nice green perhaps..... or chocolate brown. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well, what colour do you wear most of? You could either go for a similar shade to lots of your clothes or contrast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Go for the red - it looks fantastic and as you will most likely wear it on colder days it will always make you feel bright and smiley! If you change your mind about it once its knitted I will happily give it a good home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'd have red or a bright limey green. I like brights in Winter - nothing more dreary than a line of dark washing in the Winter months - greys, blacks, browns. Ugh! Go red! It will go with most stuff surely?

Omletina Kyckling Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Did anybody ever get this lovely wooly knitted? If so what would did they use or did they find a stockist for Briggs and Little in this country? I'm not a knitter but was thinking of asking somebody to knit this for me!! It looks just the ticket for me when I'm up in the Pennines!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
