My Fashionable Life

As someone with a big(ger) chest - you're better off without it. For instance, the gorgeous sweater you've created wouldn't look half as elegant on me as it looks on you!

I love the angles in the second photograph - the sweater is perfect with just the top buttoned.

Beautiful job Anna! Just beautiful!

I'm in love with Bridie! (hmm, now that sounds weird!)

Exquisite!

Beautiful, both of you, just as always.

The shape and color are marvellous,I really like it.

Anna, there seems to be no limit to your talent! Bridie is just perfect.

Lovely and so perfect on you. I'm in love with the diamond pattern (although I'm with Cara about how Miss Bridie would look on busty me. Sigh.).

Hi Anna,
The sweater/cardigan is beautiful and looks equally good buttoned just at the top/all the way down. How clever!
Being challenged in the bust dept,its definitely something I would wear (if I was talented enough to knit such a lovely garment).
And I love the quotes you are using - I must foward this on to my "city" friend

Hope you post this pattern for purchase - I would love to make it for my daughter - she may ask me to pick up a pair of wonderful wellies as well!

Wow - what a stunner. Bridie is different and beautiful, and you look fantastic in it. :)

Stunning, really. Just lovely. And you take such marvelous pictures. Both in the sense that you are photogenic, and that either you or someone you know is good at photography!

Beautiful!

so gorgeous, anna!! i love it. i would not be surprised if you are getting a book deal soon.

It's beautiful! Classic and modern at the same time.

Anna, you are such a talented designer, your patterns never cease to amaze me! A very beautiful sweater indeed.

Such lovely photos of Bridie and you. I like Bridie unbuttoned. I think a publisher should get in touch with you and publish your patterns in a book with your lovely photos and your lovely writing to accompany it.

I am always delighted to find a new post on your blog. I recently discovered you/your blog, and I'm looking forward to reading your archives as a delightful way to fill the boring hours at work. Your patterns are nothing short of marvelous.

Stunning! And you wear it so well!!

You've done it again! Brava, Anna!!

oh anna, that is divine. lovely design, curious twists and turns yet all the while remaining refined and demure. just wonderful!

Gorgeous!!!!!

This is quite a feat; you have managed to design a sweater that is exciting and demure all at once. It's beautiful.

So lovely! It looks so great open and closed. Beautiful!

Gorgeous, absolutely perfect. What an inspiring design....congratulations.
Also, good to know to know that I can add my very large bust to my list of afflictions. I guess that I would say that at least I don't have to fill my v-necks with scarves. Ahem.

Beautifully elegant Anna. Your Blog is a joy to read. Please make the pattern available. Best Wishes

Oh! For the briefest of moments I thought that those were your own words, and I thought to myself, "Oh dear. What is this? She's going to get herself into some trouble here..."
Remember, only for the BRIEFEST of moments.
Another fabulous design. This one is truly unique and worthy of country or city!

It´s absolutely beautiful! I especially love the cardi on the second photo, closed only at the top. It´s so elegant and the closing is so extraordinary. I hope, this design will be available. I love your designs so much!
(And I also love the first pictures of the Below Stairs Jacket - this looks like a jacket I MUST have!)

without a doubt this qualifies as city wear! just another gorgeous Amelia Raitte creation.

gorgeous! wow! absolutely beautiful, anna.

now fetch your coat - what are you doing in the garden in february in that outfit, young lady!

Wow! Another one of your patterns to add to the to do list. Beautiful.

That is so beautiful, I love the way it fastens at the top. Wear it on Saturday for me so that I can see it in person?!

it looks lovely on you, absolutely lovely.

now I want to know what you use for your technical refernces to figure out how to design such lovely garments!!

I really like this one, how do you do it? I hope the powers that be take notice of your talents, you surely deserve recognition!

Gorgeous! Will you be making this pattern available? Love your blog.

Awesome design, I agree with your choice to return the bottom half to the center line so you can wear it open. It is especially elegant with rubber boots.

Beautiful. I love the second photo, sweater worn open, the best.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. Job well done (again).

It's really beautiful Anna. I love the shape! Well done you once again.

Oh, how I wish I could pull that off without looking, er, matronly!

What a clever design--I bet it'll be your new favorite sweater. Looks like it goes with just about everything, thanks to the nice neutral shade.

i love birdie, too. I see others love it as well. sell it, girl. the pattern...we need it in our lives;)

Birdie is wonderful. Such a thoughtful design, which seems rare these days and, as always, beautifully executed!

i've been lurking for a while now & i just have to tell you how gorgeous your patterns are - simply stunning!!

i'm curious as to how birdie would look with just the bottom half buttoned - i have a bigger chest & might enjoy buttoning the bottom & letting the top of my blouse show. maybe if you do another photo shoot you could include a photo like that?

either way, i'm eager to see a pattern for purchase - i foresee a summer full of "fashionable life sweaters"

Oh! Birdie is lovely. Please let me know if she is going to be available soon!

How lovely! I would love to knit one for my flat-chested self. It would be red to match my toenails.

Anna - I love Birdie! But, must knit Claude first (which I also love....) you are truly a talented designer!

wow, you look like you belong in a rowan book. awesome cardigan!

Absolutely gorgeous. You truly are a fabulous designer and your book should sit on the shelf among other greats.

Another wonderful Fashionable Life design! Job well done!! :-)

Oh! Wonderful, wonderful. Just beautiful.

Poetic, innovative, beautiful, beautiful, congratulations on a wonderful job!!

Hi Anna,
yes!!!! That`s it. A great poetic knitting work. So beautiful. I love your knitting so much.

I can't wait for this one to come out!

This is truly original. Beautiful!

love it, wan't it, give it to me already.....now!!!!..... please........

It's seriously lovely. You look marvelous in it, and the design is flawless. Fabulous!!

Hey Anna!

I love Birdie! I haven't had a chance to really read your blog because I'm in a monastery now, but I just had to stop to take a peek at your work... lovely as usual. :)

i'm late to the party. beautiful sweater!

I tend not to add a comment after several dozens of people have already echoed my sentiments, but this time I absolutely have to.... Bridie is just absolutely stunning!! I'm already planning the colourway, mentally going through my wardrobe picking what I will wear with it.... You are such a talented designer. Gorgeous!

This is gorgeous!!! If you make this available for sale it'll be my first online pattern purchase. Fantastic work.

I wasn't sure how to contact you with a question. First, your knitting is fantastic, so beautiful and I love the patterns. Your talent is impressive for sure. I have a question.....do you share (or sell) your patterns? I am in love with a lot of them but particularly "Claude" ....so far....there will be more "loves" to come I am sure.
