Trend: Off the Shoulder

Happy New Year! I hope everyone’s enjoying 2012 as much as I am!

What did you wear to usher in the New Year? I love sweaters that show a little skin, like these off-the-shoulder pullovers:

#22 Paton’s Off-the-Shoulder by Pierrot for VK. This is pretty in the Paton’s Grace that is suggested, but would be awesome in a cashmere blend, like Rowan’s Cashsoft line. I’d style it with leggings or jeans and a ribbed tank underneath:

A more textural option comes in the form of the Interlocking Cables pattern by Shirley Paden. This thing looks majorly comfy, and the neck can be worn like a cowl or down over the shoulders for a more coquettish approach:

Finally, something a little more modern… The Off-the-shoulder Pullover by Vladimir Teriokhin. Check out his designer page for tons of cute and recent designs. I love the dolman sleeves and oversized fit paired with a glimmery, feminine yarn choice:

I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions, but I do have some knit-related goals for the year:

– Knit 2 sweaters: one for me and one for Andrew
– Continue to blog frequently
– Knit from stash, but also try new yarn sources
– Fave more projects on Ravelry

Do you have any resolutions?
