………………..Dear Friends, I see no reason why I should hold back on letting you know what is coming in Dec. since it is the last garment of the year, and I know many of you would like to plan ahead………On December 12th at 9:00pm, on the QVC2 channel, I will be presenting my last BIG DEAL of the season………………A297877 is the style number of the WHISPER KNIT, SWING SWEATER with the COWL NECK……..I will say that this was a customer request, and I think the sweater came out fabulously! It is made in my medium weight ENR WK. This sweater is all about the COWL….It’s the make or break detail, and I think it came out beautifully. The cowl is ribbed which gives it that LUSH DRAPE, and wonderful shaping……It’s not wimpy at all, and once you set it as you like….it will stay in place. On super cold days wear it up…..ALMOST like a hood for added protection wrapped around your neck. You already know the fit of the SWING BODY. There is really little difference between this and the others made in the med. weight……The colors are RHUBARB……a delicious raspberry-ish shade……………….and CLOVE…..It is not as dark as my Dark Olive, but has a rich saturated vegetable dye earthiness…like beautiful spinach!…In the photos I paired the Rhubarb with a pair of jeans, [also looks great with black, navy, grey and the new port or blackberry pant], and I paired the Clove sweater with my slim Ponte pant, A265615 in olive. They aren’t a match, but blend beautifully…..Again, all of the color pants mentioned plus the Dark Umber will look great with Clove, and I would guess many more……..I love mixing jewelry. It gives the wearer a distinctive creative appearance…….This time I mixed the new PINK MIST FLORAL and CRACKLE BEAD necklace, J350152 [already getting great reviews], with the PERFECTLY PINK SPIRIT NECKLACE, J350153……For the Clove I mixed the Floral necklace in AQUA MIST with the DESERT SAND Spirit necklace…….You should be able to get everything in time for Christmas!………The berets are from my collection that I have acquired over the years, and are not avail……I got the olive in Paris on the Rue de Rivoli in one of the souvenir shops…….so if you’re planning a trip to Paris take a walk along the street. There are lots of shops and most have berets in all kinds of colors……………………………………..Happy Holidays………………………..much Love………………………….Louis
I have the blackberry pants and would love to see with the rhubarb so I can tell if it matches.
Mary Jane, I can tell you they do not match. I,m not home so I can’t say they blend, but I would guesss they do
Louis, I LOVE ALL of your color choices for the Big Deal! Thank you!
Hi Louis, did you see my question yesterday afternoon about length? ( I know you mentioned that sometimes our posts don’t pop up on your phone.) Thanks!
I did Yvette, but I’ve been very busy to dig out the ballet sweater from whatever bin it is in. I will let you know in a few days.
Oh Louis, I’m sorry I jumped the gun like that! There’s no rush, since it won’t be on QVC until Nov. You know how excited we get about whisperknits, lol. Please know that your attention to all of our never ending questions is so appreciated!
Ha, I meant December.
Louis, does the Rhubarb go with the long zip cardigan, A282504, in spruce/fuchsia? Already planning on the black and grey
Sharon, I just donated all of those cardigans, so I can’t compare, but the fuchsia and rhubarb are different colors.
Love the rhubarb and clove. No need to look elsewhere now for a cowl-neck sweater. I am even considering the black.
Dear Stephanie….believe me when I say I’m not trying to sell it, but you won’t be disappointed with all three colors. It’s a terrific sweater.
Love the Rhubarb, Black and Grey. Can not wait to pick these up!!!!
Is the beret the raspberry shade from the manufacturer? I ordered dirty rose to go with my tunic.
I am purchasing the Clove as well as the Steel Gray. I own slim pants in Olive as well as the new super ponte slim leg in steel gray. I am looking forward to receiving.
Wow! Gorgeous colors. Love them both. Love the way you did the cowl neck. Thanks for the preview!
Beautiful colors! Now here comes a question from the peanut gallery. Being all of 5″2′ on a good day, I have to ask about length. How does the length on this one compare with the original ballet neck swing sweater (A259620)? And are they the same weight WK? We’re still waiting for some cooler weather down here in New Orleans!
Yvette, I think Monday morning, you’re going to get your wish? It’s supposed to be in the 30’s in Biloxi, and you’re just down the road…
Rhubarb–what a perfect January sort of color when you need a pick-me-up. That color( and black, of course) for me.
Wow! That Rhubarb is a pretty color!
Love a properly executed cowl! Can’t wait to be able to order this last beauty from 2017.
