I was relieved to see the Winter 2007 "Interweave Knits" yesterday. Was beginning to worry that my IK subscription would suddenly go the way of Vogue Knitting, with far too much "hip" stuff. I just don’t do edgy. While the Tilted Duster on the cover of the Fall issue was fascinating in construction, I personally could never pull it off — otherwise, the Tangled Yoke cardy was the only thing I was even remotely interested in. (You can take the girl out of the library, but you can’t … oh, never mind.)
But there are in fact four projects in the new issue that have caught my eye. (All photos from here.)
Pam Allen’s Refined Aran Jacket. Love this, love it backwards and forwards and maybe even upside-down. Get in the car, girls, we’re going to the yarn shop!
Jess’s Gansey, by Elizabeth Lovick. (The pdf pattern is available only if you sign up for the Knitting Daily newsletter.) The model isn’t helping the sweater much, I’m afraid — and it doesn’t fit her well at the armholes — but I like the idea of tweaking the gansey shape.
This one —
really speaks to me for some reason, possibly just because I get such a kick out of Old Shale. It’s Cathy Payson’s Brushed Lace Cardigan. I’m not sure about the colors, so I would probably do something more boring, I mean subtle, like shades of grey.
This, on the other hand, Eunny Jang’s Ivy League Vest, is wild in the best possible way. Again, tweaking the shape of a traditional garment. I’ve had a hankering for colorwork lately, too.
Now, if only the new "Getting More Hours Out of Your Day" magazine would arrive!
