We all have that one jumper we can’t live without. You know which one we’re talking about: the one you basically live in. You love it so much that it has practically become a second skin. Well, the Twisty Thelma is one of those jumpers. You can wear it for days on end! But you don’t want to be wearing the same outfit one day after the other, do you? So, here’s some inspiration on how to wear the same jumper all weekend long, without dressing the same once. Twisty Thelma in Oatmeal (click here), Pencil Penny in Black (click here), Necklace & bracelet – Nimzu (click here & here), Black Handbag – O my bag (click here) & Black Heels – Rafausa (click here). Thank GOD it’s Friday! Okay, it’s not Friday yet, but let’s just pretend for a minute. Are you looking forward to Friday…

Knit of the Month – Victorious V

07/08/2018

Do you know that feeling when you see something new and you can’t wait to get your hands on it because it would look stunning with that pair of jeans you have? Or that skirt! Oh, and with those shoes you’ve had your eyes on for a while. Well, we completely understand that feeling. We’ve been waiting for the Victorious V to arrive for a while now and already have some outfits planned out. A V-neck sweater is a basic piece every girl should have. It’s versatile and easy which makes it the perfect garment to wear to work, but also to chill in on weekends. Especially when it’s made from the softest baby alpaca yarn… Want to see some of our favorite outfits for when it gets a bit colder? Have a look!

Sacha: from voluntary intern to employee

25/07/2018

Hi everyone, Sacha here again. It’s official: my (more than) one year anniversary at LN Knits! How time flies… But how did I get here, you might wonder? A little flash back to last year in April. My last year in Communication Management at the AP Hogeschool in Antwerp was coming to a close. As a final project, a couple of students from my year organised the Job Launch. This was a whole day event with lots of interesting guest speakers. Guess who came to tell her story? Exactly. Ellen! I knew the LN Knits story already, as I was a big fan of the brand, but it was interesting to hear her tell it herself instead of getting to know it through social media. She closed of her speech by saying that LN could always use some interns and if we were interested we could always e-mail. …

Fair fashion guest blog by Eline Reynders

04/07/2018

Hi everyone! My name is Eline Reynders — Eline Rey for the Instagram lovers out there. I’m a twenty-five year old living in the sweet province of Limburg. During the week, I work fulltime as a Content & Conversation Manager and in my spare time I’m a self-employed blogger and content creative. A digital kid from dusk till dawn? I certainly am, though I love to disconnect from time to time and then you will find me at a tennis court or just strolling through nature. Why I started blogging… Well, that’s quite a story. Got some time? In the last year of my first college education, I lived for about three months in the south of France for my internship. Back there, I created my first (super unprofessional) blog. The goal of this little website was to inform my dear family and friends of the stories that happened in…
