We were asked to style a design and we choose the "Winthrop" cardigan.
This cardigan, designed by Kate Osbourn, is knit in Organik or Road to China Worsted and features a lovely slip stitch pattern at the hems and neckline. We used Polyvore for our styling - so fun!
I choose to style my Winthrop for a spring-time bike ride adventure. A flirty floral tank and cream oxford heels are the perfect combo!
Amber styled a picnic outfit complete with blanket and bag large enough for dishware and treats! Her cardigan looks adorable over a sleeveless dress and orange tights.

I love wearing jeans...so I would style it with jeans, cute knee high boots and a colorful scarf (knitted of course!). Thanks for the opportunity.

I live in jeans, so with jeans it would be. Although I have a super cute canvas skirt at the front of my closet patiently waiting for warmer weather. That would be cute too. theharts at windstream dot net
I love this! I would wear it with a a spring dress with flats and a cute little belt!

I have a nice wool skirt I barely wear - I can just imagine this with a thin tshirt underneath and boots!
I would wear it with leggings and either a ruffly top, or a camisole and scarf.

I would wear this cardigan on a beautiful spring day. Pair it with a cute little spring floral dress I made. Riding my bike around city park with my little Pomchi in my front basket of course. :)

I would wear it also with jeans and a t shirt underneath. Perfect for the layered look.

In my mind, I would wear this with a black sheath and heels, a skinny belt cinched around the cardigan at my waist and a beautiful silk scarf around my neck. In reality, I'd wear it with straight-legged jeans, my motorcycle boots and a lace-edged tank top.

I love a cardigan with a geometric print t-shirt underneath. And some cool pinback buttons.

They make some of my favorite yarn! But the patters are always wonderful too. I'll definitely be getting this book.
What a blast! Thanks for introducing me to Polyvore and FibreCo! I can't wait to pick up some patterns and yarn. =) Since this color made me crave some spring, I put this number together:

Hoot!
Nice! I would wear it with a floral and denim combined dress and plain summer brown sandals. aidacomes@gmail.com :)
I would wear it with a pair of jeans and a sleeveless top under it.
I would love to style it with a wiksten tank and some skinny capris.

I'd style the cardigan on my daughter who is traveling around northern Argentina-with a backpack, well worn hiking shoes, and a big grin!
I would wear it with my jeans, a tee shirt and a pair of boots. Love that cardigan...

I would wear it with a floral scarf, cropped linen pants and tank. and dansko clogs... : )
Yours are adorable, but I would rock mine around the house with my yoga pants and slippers. I think every great sweater should work just as well while I'm cooking dinner/changing diapers/teaching math lessons to third graders as they do on a picnic.

I would style it with a bike complete with a picnic basket, a belted dress and boot.
With a vintage shirtwaist dress of course!
Hmm I'm thinking skinny slacks and a turtleneck for an Audrey Hepburn look.
Those styles make me excited for spring! Such a happy green sweater.

Nice styling!! I loooovvvve Road to China light, so the thought of a sweater pattern for it is blowing my mind!
kelseyhopson@gmail.com
I would add it to my favorite jeans and t-shirt combo. That would certainly let it steal the stage.
I love the little details in Winthrop. I'm a boring jeans and t-shirt girl, but I would wear it with my blingy Wranglers.

I just got a really cute shirt dress that looks like an oversized men's button up. I love the look of cardis over dress like that and a belt over top to cinch it all in and showcase a waistline. Love this collection. Thanks for the chance to win!

I'd stlye it over a vintage dress with a large floral pattern.

J'adore your styling! I definitely think a thrifted, boldly printed dress is one of the best parts of summer. I have yet to use Organik, but the Canopy and Road to China families are amongst my favorite yarns ever!
I do like the Winthrop cardi. I would put it over a light tshirt and then add a pair of jeans to the ensemble.
I love the Wintrop cardi as it would look great with any summer dress!
I would knit for my lively daughter in law. Use over a spring dress! Joan831@aol.com
I would wear the cardigan with black pants and a black top to really make the sweater stand out. perhaps a purse or jewelry around the same color as the sweater as accent as well.
highpriestess923@aol.com
Ooh, I would style it with a white tunic top, capris, printed red floral flats, red purse and maybe a scarf around the neck. Love reading your blog! loubasketcase@comcast.net
I must wear this sweater while on vacation! It would be perfect for yarn-crawling around Europe. I would layer this with a classic white crew neck T and a pair of colorful, patterned leggings/jeans. And of course I would wear super comfy walking shoes and a cool cross-body satchel so that my hands were free for plenty of yarn fondling!
