Sophisticated Knit Dresses

Sweater dress by Grey Ant. This one is definitely my favourite! Will be added to my list of covetables, pronto.

Amazing leather and knit dress by Helmut Lang. This dress satisfies some deep dark part of my psyche... a little hardcore, a little cuddly. Love it.

Cozy dolman-sleeved sweater dress by Erik Hart. I'd wear it with skinny jeans and suede flats.

Sonia Rykiel spring '09

The spring shows often don't have much knitwear content... but Sonia Rykiel has come through for us again! In her fall '08 show, there were the amazing bunny sweaters, and yesterday in Paris she showed a few more of her whimsical creations. 

I LOVE the half-finished sweater! In fact, most knitters probably have at least one of these hanging around the house/apartment (without the Rykiel label, albeit).

Mafuyu

I wish I had been born in Japan so the designer of Mafuyu and I could be best friends. FOREVER! I think we could knit a whole new universe together. A plush, yarn-y universe.

Knits from IVANAhelsinki's fall/winter 2008 collection.

As of this moment, I am dying for a knit onesie! My next project?

Okay, so they're not all knits, but you have to admit there's something more than a little DIY about the esthetic! Super pretty.

These dresses leave me speechless. Sometimes I wish I lived in a different world, somewhere I could wear things like this.
