Well there's no denying it's officially sweater weather (in the U.K. anyway) and after getting all of my heavier knits out of storage and reviving those that I could, (with the de-bobbler) I have ended up buying a few new pieces. Chunky knits and cardi-coats are my go-to at this time of year. Here are … Continue reading The Knitwear Edit ’19
