Oh the knits, the knits! Dear lord the knits! (I know parents of school age kids are probably reading that as 'oh the nits' and imaging a voice of horror / exasperation but I really do mean the knits with a k, and the voice should be one of swooning excitement.)
As the weather cools in Seoul the knits come out to play. Pastel knits, kitschy knits, chunky knits and marled knits. All the textures, patterns and colours you could possibly imagine, need or want. All made in Korea (which means they are of pretty decent quality), and all very reasonably priced (think AU $10 to $50).
At this time of year it's basically impossible for me to leave the house without coming home with something new and knitted (you can see a small sample of my ever expanding collection in the last photo). Korean knits - I do love you!
Totally. My limited closet space is probably the only thing that keeps my sweater count low. Your collection looks lovely! ^^
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I don't think my wardrobe can cope with any more, but I'll probably buy one (or two) anyway!
DeleteOmg so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI lived in Seoul a decade ago and LOVED the clothing shopping! I look forward to following your blog and seeing what the city is like now.
Is there still kal-guk-soo in Myong-dong? I still get cravings for that!
Yes there is! The super famous one is still there (it has two branches and there's still always queues!), and I just found a new one the other day which is pretty tasy too... Now you're making me crave 칼국수!
DeleteYes that green one with the yellow spots will do nicely, I'll take it thank you very much! Kellie xx
ReplyDelete"the nits!. Haha!
ReplyDeleteOh my. My eyes are having a treat with these candy colours.
ReplyDeleteYou know, as much as I enjoy looking at sweet colours, I end up preferring dark on me. I probably think dark goes better against my skin...
Wow! Those are some VERY cool knits! At first I thought several of the pieces in the first photo were crochet, but no, they're knit. Love it.
ReplyDeleteEeep! I so need to visit Seoul! I can imagine it would be incredibly hard to not come home with a new one after an outing. Especially when they're as cute and colourful as those polka dot ones. :)
ReplyDeletefar out, I LOVE KNITWEAR. im completely obsessed. keep me away from Seoul!
