The Knitting Fiend

 

Fashionably pregnant.
When my bulge begins to grow
Everyone will know!

I tend to dress casually– and badly. Still, I would have thought fashion editors would have avoided pairing this sweater with a ruffled maternity top. And young visitors, can you answer this: Are pockets on calves back in again? (If so, too bad I threw out the ones I wore in the 80s! )

From Berrocco. This season they seem to be highlighting unusual shaping at the lower edges of sweaters.

Stumble it (and place in Knitting/crochet!)

1. A lot of my daughter’s pants have pockets on the calves. But she’s two! Anything looks good on a toddler.

2. Yes, Trish. Everything DOES look good on a toddler!

   Man, really. Who is this sweater designed for?! I can’t imagine any body type (other than the freakishly tall, stick skinny type) looking good in this. Even if they had made a different choice on the under shirt.

3. I think it’s designed for a B-C cup flat tummied ballerina to wear over a leotard. It should be paired with ballet slippers and leg warmners!

4. Asymmetry tred
   No real bodies involved
   Shape for shape’s sake

   Yikes! What a sweater!

   My nine year old niece showed up here last night with cargo pants–and a cell phone in her knee pocket

5. I’ve noticed berocco’s trends of having stupidly assymetrical hemmed sweaters.

   I prefer cargo pants, but that’s because I have bad experiences with capris…(in that they look like dumb highwaters because I’m approximately the height of a munchkin…).

6. Um, I’m pregnant, and proud of my little belly, and I wouldn’t dishonor it by wearing THAT.

7. I disagree, it isn’t too bad you threw those pants away - it was SMART!

8. It was nice meeting you last night at the little knitting group. I don’t understand why sweaters can’t be real sweaters and cover like there suppose to. the shrug look is stupid.

10. Bit late on this post- have been on holidays!!! What is that thing suppose to do for you- make you feel sexy while pregnant?? Strange- I’ve just had 2 pregnancies in past 3 years- got 3 toddlers!! And there IS NO WAY I’d have worn that over my bulging tummy- besides too cold- the term is Winter woolies is it not??? Have a great day- fantastic site- heaps of info- thanks love jo-
