Fashion bloggers have their OOTD (outfit of the day), now that I'm in reorganization mode I'm finding hand knits which haven't been worn in a while. This is my hand knit OOTD. Here's a long bobbled cardigan I was inspired to wear recently out to lunch with a girlfriend. There isn't a pattern for this one. It's one of the many personal projects from before I started writing patterns. The pants are Hue faux leather leggings, the shirt is a basic white cotton and I wore a piece of jewellery I made myself.
If there had been any serious walking that day I would have substituted my black brogues for those high heeled ankle boots. I carried a black patent hand bag.
I need to read up on how those fashion blogs make their flat lay photos look so good. I ended up putting the focus on the sweater but I can see that did some odd things lighting wise to my black leather boots.

I've been knitting my whole life. I don't even remember learning. I started making garments for myself in my teens and then explored sewing, tailoring and millinery. I want to teach knitters about fit and flattery and turn them into fashion stars!
On my blog you will find lots of interviews with knitting industry professionals, how to tutorials and a variety of posts about what's going on in the knitting world.
I love to come out and speak at shops and guilds. Here's what the Downtown Knit collective said after one of my talks:
“Robin Hunter’s inspiring talk, “The Barbie Factor,” left everyone in a feel-good mood at the conclusion of the May meeting. Heads were nodding in agreement all around ... as she tackled a multi-faced problem faced by many knitters—why don’t we knit for ourselves? She touched on many topics including fashion, body image, media and how it all relates back to our knitting.”
