So, there are actually way more than 2 sweaters that I will be wearing all fall. The above photo is of me finishing up the most glorious fall/winter cushy cozy piece of knitting ever! It’s a September Sweater by Petite Knit knit in the loveliest shade of pinky red. I’m into it. Expect to see an FO post for this beauty soon. I’ve also got a new magical striped pullover that I’ll be sporting weekly for the rest of my life, more on that soon. But, 2 new sweater patterns have made my heart skip a beat and I’m very excited to knit them this fall.
First, a little backstory: I have had this fringed vest number pinned on pinterest for years. I’m obsessed. I think that it’s originally from Banana Republic from maybe 2016 or something. By the time I saw it it was no longer available to purchase and I’ve even tried scouring ebay for it with no luck . It’s been on my list to design something like it for ages but then I came across the Cold Shoulder Crop by Park Williams and my jaw dropped. It’s the perfect jumping off point for this sweater!

I may modify the cable and I’ll absolutely be adding fringe to those sleeves. I’m currently deciding on what yarn/colour to use. I have a solid pale grey merino/silk blend that I’m considering. I’ll keep you posted!
My second current sweater obsession: Newspaper Pullover by Joji Locatelli.

Joji’s new Ready For Fall collection is picture perfect. Beautiful knits, beautifully styled and I really love the photography. It’s so perfectly autumnal and Joji has never looked better. How does she do it!? My current WIP (September Sweater mentioned above) is knit in brioche stitch and I am smitten. I’ll happily tackle another brioche sweater as soon as I’m done with my current WIP. I have not narrowed down my colour choices yet. It looks so good in black and white but I will almost definitely do something a little more colourful because that’s just me. Not even entirely sure that I’ll keep it to 2 colours.
Nothing beats fall knitting season, am I right!?!? So many plans, so much to look forward to! What are you planning to knit this fall?
