KNIT THAT TREND: NEW BLOG.

Now as some of you may have guessed - I do rather like knitting. Before you mutter anything about it being boring, and that I need to get a life - sorry to be rude, but shut your mouths and listen.

Knitting is always perceived as a boring hobby - why? Well now lets see, maybe because:

  • Every Granny on earth (most probably) knits, and (most probably)at some point in your life tried to make you wear a horrifyingly embarrassing jumper that she had knitted for you especially.

Think cringe worthy Christmas jumpers - or something with an oversized knitted picture on it that never quite made sense.  - thus (most probably) giving you a negative impression of all things knit worthy.

  • There aren’t many cool things associated with knitting - unless you think a bunch of ‘old ladies’ clicking and clacking their needles together is somehow ‘cool’. - If you do, then well done dear - but you really ought to open your eyes to the world!
  • There is nothing particularly fashionable about knitting to the general public. Yes designers try and push it onto catwalks every now and then - but does it ever really seem to take over your life? No. Well at least last time I checked I didn’t see many people rocking the KNIT WIT trend.

Either way - like it or not  knitting has always been - and continues to be associated with all things boring.

So - why am I boring you with this? you ask.

**NEWS FLASH - KNITTING IS TRES COOL**

Believe me - TOMMY HILFIGER, HOUSE OF HOLLAND, CHANEL & ANNA SUI are a few fashionable names (of many) who sure do like knitwear in a good FW collection!

I am about to show you how knitting is fun, interesting and yes ill say it - ‘cool’.

Its part of a university assignment I have to do - not to make knitting fashionable again, but to begin a brand new topical blog. And I decided to choose knitting, because yes I think its cool (sorry that’s the last time ill say it! I promise).

The name of my new blog will be  ‘knit that trend’ - and it will focus on discussing how knitting is incorporated to high end runway fashion.

There will also be a few D.I.Y snippets on there so keep your eyes peeled if you like to be ahead of fashion!
