Winter Woollies

I have always been a fan of knitwear. Having grown up with the Martha Stewart of Australia as a mother, I couldn’t help but love it. Jumpers, scarves, gloves you name it I love it. With the colder weather now here, it is the time to bring out the knitwear.


When I was younger I could show my talented mother any of these and say "please" and a couple of days or weeks later I would have an exact replica. I am forever indebted to her for keeping me supplied in fabulous knitwear.

Now I must say men's knitwear has come a long way in the last 30 years pr so. I love big bulky avant-garde styles, which unfortunately do not suit my rather small frame (and age). However if I was 20 something with model good looks I would definitely be saying please to my mother and donning some of these pieces!




Stay warm!

    I love that long black sweater- not so sure about the leather straps around the neck scarf-

    These are definitely some of the most unique knitwear pieces I have seen! I'm actually digging the leather straps, I rather like unique touches like these...and I'm so into these looks for winter too!

    You must start knitting yourself! It can be pure bliss.

    I use NORO yearn and feel like I knit a flower field without much effort. Pure colour-therapy when stressed. My Japanese friend gave me a full set of bamboo needles before they were common in Norway. Nice to work with - of use rosewood for an extra aesthetic knitting experience.

    And there is angora for a daily fluff/flutter:)

    Men's knitwear has definitely improved in the recent past. It used to be so clunky and unfashionable. These pieces are just great!

    Hi David,

    I am having trouble leaving you comments. Hope you get this.

    Brrr! I just saw the weather report for back East. You're going to have to wear several layers of these woolies.

    How I envy your Mum's knitting talent. I have tried to learn several times, only to fail.

    Oh well - Marjorie

    Oh your mom sounds the BEST! Love that she did that for you.

    Speaking of cold, we are really cooling off here in Vancouver ... no power for 8 hrs today made my home an ice box!
