Fall Preview

I haven’t knitted half the things I wanted to knit for summer and I am already thinking about fall knits (and this despite the heat).

It started with the fall Knitscene which I picked up at Yarn Central the last time I was at knitting group. 

I probably don’t have to admit that I love the cover sweater.  It is very much a me kind of thing, not the least because they chose to make it in one of my favorite color combinations (can’t you tell from the bowl of my favorite summer soup:  Beet and Tomato).   There are at least four other sweaters I would knit, and even probably wear in that issue, which makes this a rare find for a knitting magazine.

And there are the ads! Well yes I know the magazine doesn’t help me with the ads.  But knitting magazines are like big dream generating machines aren’t they?  And all I had to do was open the cover and see this ad to know that I had to knit this sweater and that at least one more fall book will grace my shelves (who am I kidding?)

I also am attracted to the Classic Elite sweater at the back, but the photo shows some threat of bulkiness and I will probably have to look at the other patterns in the book first, before I can make any decision.

and the Fall Preview is up at Interweave Knits making promises of good things to come.  I find these previews difficult, sometimes they look promising until I see the magazine and then the actual design dissapoints, other times they live up to their promise.

Nonetheless, fall, at least sweater-wise, is on my mind.
