Vogue Knitting Winter 2009/2010

YAY!!!

The new issue of Vogue Knitting is out now!

(Sorry... this is the biggest pic I could get!)

Some new Twinkle patterns (Thank God!)...

That hooded sleeveless sweater is really cute.  I'll be making that!

These are all cute.  Grey is the new Black, you know...

Twinkle Nolita Shawl - Vogue Knitting

Twinkle's Nolita Shawl (Vogue Knitting online)

Do we look alike?

 :)

I really enjoyed this pattern so much.

It's very easy and it worked so fast!

I used the Lion Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (cause I have a ton of it) and it worked well.

I know the Twinkle Soft Chunky is thicker and stiffer but the Lion Wool-Ease will do for now.

I wouldn't mind making this again with the Magnum Cascade.

The other nice thing about this pattern is that it only calls for 2 skeins of yarn.

It calls for casting on with two strands held together and worked with the 2 strands but only for a lil bit.

Then the rest is worked with one strand.

The only thing I was confused about was...

The way it asks to cast on and work the beginning creates a seam.

Then, at the end, it calls for the seam to be sewn together.

And I'm not really sure why?!

Why not just cast on with circulars and join together so there's no seam?

I'm gonna make another one and try it this way, so I'll let you know!

Vogue Knitting Fall 2009

Yay!

The new issue of Vogue Knitting is out now!

I always look forward to this magazine coming out and have come to enjoy their designer features (something usually including/involving Twinkle always makes me happy)...

I dunno if it's 'cause it's a trillion degrees out these days but none of this excited me too much.

It's just sooooooooo wintery.

When will there be a pattern section on the 'in between'... In between Summer and Fall...

It just never gets cold enough here to wear an orange long sleeve shirt under an orange cable sweater dress with orangey-brown gloves.

Seriously!

I'll most likely still buy this issue tho...

Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2009

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new issue of Vogue Knitting is out now!!!!

You know I love my mags and I love Spring! So this is a double-YAY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Um, pretty much EVERYTHING below excites me... (sweater in lower left corner, in particular)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And another Twinkle pattern! YAY!!!!!! (One is Anna Sui and one is Twinkle. Tough call but I'm guessing the tank on the right is Twinkle? We'll see!).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This makes me particularly happy cause just about a month ago, I popped into American Apparel and was completely fascinated with their new Circle Vest!

I LUV (with a capitol "L") AA and I think it's cause I get such a kick outta how simple their clothes are and yet, you can do so much with them. They get so creative with one piece of long fabric!

Anyway, after I'd seen their circle vest, I looked everywhere for a circle vest pattern and found a few interesting things, but eventually was over it...

Well thank God, cause now here's this! YAY!

Happy Knitting!

Vogue Knitting Winter 2008/2009 Issue

Yay!!!

The new Vogue Knitting is out!

Love, love, love the cover and am always excited to see anything with "Twinkle" or 'chunky'!

As you know, I love my Twinkle and that sweater below looks like fun.

I'm also particularly excited about this Tom Scott!

He was featured in the Vogue Knitting before (in the Holiday 2007 issue iwth Paulina Porizkova) and I was curious back then!

Am excited now and will definitely be trying that sweater below.

I have a bag full of gorgeous taupe yarn (Lion Thick & Quick in "Taupe") just waiting to meet it's perfect project!
