Knitting VLOG 6: I HACKED this $2300 LOEWE top and it's BETTER than the original!

I merged the Telopea Sweater and the Loewe jumper to create a new beautiful, fluffy, yellow dream sweater. It combines the luxury look of the Loewe and the clever design of Marzena Kolaczek's Telopea design.
In this Vlog, I show you my thought process, and how this jumper came into being. There is also another sneak project in there, see if you can find it.

Clare, that was fascinating. What a beautiful garment. Do you think your mum will one day make an appearance? She sounds a fount of knowledge like her daughter. Love the hem and I’m going to use it myself

[@samil9122]

What a clever way to elevate an already gorgeous jumper!

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you! I love it too.

[@ooohPau]

Honestly, still a slay. High-end brands doing crochet/knitted pieces gives me the ick because they're not too transparent if they pay the artist who made it but I'm glad you made it work (and I might start doing the same lol)

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you. I have heard the same about mistreated makers.

[@lizurquhart4105]

Hi Clare! I’m so happy that you popped up on my feed. You inspired me to pull out a lace front panel top that I had stopped working on a while ago because I felt it wouldn’t fit well. I’m going to complete it and start knitting more lace projects. Your knitting is just lovely and different! Thank you for sharing.

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you Liz!

[@goldogwolly]

Yours looks better than the original!

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Aww thank you.

[@cassafrass098]

What a superb final product! It looks so great on you!

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you so much!

[@CalnitskyKnits]

That yellow looks absolutely beautiful on you.

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Oh thank you! It's not usually my colour but I think this yellow is beautiful.

[@elianaalfonso7703]

That jumper turned out very cute!

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you, I'm going to love wearing it.

[@naomiledger1374]

Such a lovely sweater and the sleeve cuffs are just so sweet. Frills aren't really my thing but the whole look in that soft yellow is really pretty and suits you so well. And that folly skirt wowed me...I'd never think to knit a skirt (since I never wear them) and especially in all those colours, but I love it!! The strucket's cool too...where did you pick that up from?

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you! It was from Howard's Storage.

[@sylviafikiert4825]

Claire you are a genius! Such a cleaver idea and it looks fantastic on you 😊

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@demmimorelle4654]

Just beautiful Clare! Love from Melbourne💛

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you so much! So good to meet other knitters in Australia.

[@nataliehurst9497]

Enjoying your videos Clare 😊
Very clever re-creation of a jumper!
I also have a strucket....it is so practical.
I have my fingers crossed that you'll do the second video of all of your makes.

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you Natalie. That's funny because I was just planningn to film it today!

[@nataliehurst9497]

Yay!
I look forward to it

[@nombuso4162]

This is absolutely gorgeous. ❤❤ I love the flounce hem. I think it would look amazing on a skirt

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Thank you! 😊 That's a great idea.

[@em_p_three]

you are just so darling and i love your energy :) i can't wait for future videos to see what clever designs you come up with!!!

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

Aww thank you that’s so sweet. I’m working on another luxury inspired jumper at the moment. Stay tuned.

[@jgordon194]

Clever!

@@Clare_likes_to_knit Thank you!

[@mynameisnotgirl8184]

It’s cute, but it’s not better than the original version. I’m personally not a fan of the wavy hem, it’s too hard to style with different pieces but I do love the sleeves and wish I could knit.

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

I wasn’t sure about the hem initially but it worked out well in the end.

[@Citroen_2cv]

It's pronounced Low-ay-vey -- 3 syllables, accent on the middle syllable, long a

[@pper6777]

Loewe is pronounced as “lo-weh-vay”

[@Clare_likes_to_knit]

I'll practise saying it.. lo-weh-vayyy

[@MrsMack-bw5qd]
