Master Knitter & glamorous Los Angeleno, Miss Diane hits the catwalk with a brand new Twist!

As I write this, it is 13° (with windchill - 1°) in Chicago and I am so thrilled to see a Twist on another coast, this time, the lovely West Coast! And yes, it's Sweater Weather today in L.A.: 45° — WHOA!

Diane writes: "There was enough cabling to keep me interested, but not enough to make me want to kill myself."

This, in a nutshell, is a Basic Philosophy @Le Chic Boutique and we just laughed and laughed reading this because we couldn't agree more! I love garments that have enough texture and interest to keep it going, to pull you to the finish line, to give you something special to wear, something that is not too far off-the-mark from off-the-rack so it keeps you on the current fashion timeline.

And speaking of finishing, I was delighted to read this from Diane:

"Okay, let me tell you something: seaming during lecture is not nearly as fun as knitting during lecture. However, I've discovered that I'm one of those knitters that actually likes seaming. Great!"
