And it still isn't fast enough.
I continue to be overwhelmed with the number of sweater patterns showing up this fall that I want to knit. I honestly don't know if there are actually more patterns that I like than usual, or if I am just more receptive to wishful thinking and dreaming. I can't even index things fast enough. Of course part of that is a time problem as well. Still I am constantly revising my lists of what I want to knit this fall. What I really should do is stop dreaming about future projects and just knit.
The new online magazine Twist Collective debuted this month and was really lovely and interesting. There were quite a few patterns I found intersting given my general weakness for patterns. Just call me a pattern slut. Anyway, these are the ones that have most caught my eye (at the moment anyway):
Only the last two are a definite yes for me at the moment. Both of them use stash yarn (yeah!) and both of them have been added to the queue. Actually I was kind of wavering on that last, a-line sweater, until I turned around and noticed that I happened to have just enough Classic Elite Waterlily in the perfect deep maroon shade…..
Well, obviously it was meant to be.
Actually, I am torn between Jaali (the orange sweater) and Bonnie (the green one). You get better pictures of the detail of Jaali in the magazine, Bonnie also intrigues and would just be perfect for tramping around the woods and farms. At the moment I am leaning more toward the former than the latter, but no commitments have been made.
Actually in the interest of full disclosure, I should have just written about all the patterns I like in the Vogue Knitting because already I am changing my mind. I am falling in love with tons of long cardigans this season and it looks like the long cardigans I posted in my previous post will not be high on the list for this fall.
Although the cabled hoodie in chunky yarn remains near the top of my list, I am also reconsidering the beautiful cabled square wrap cardigan by Angela Hahn. Angela's blog is one of my favorites but I was a little behind on blog reading. When I looked at the photos of this sweater on her blog I knew I had to knit it, the photo in the magazine really does not begin to show the beauty of this sweater. Angela also answered some of my questions about fit/alterations by giving more information and some corrections to the pattern as written in Vogue.
And so here are the other patterns in the fall Vogue that I am still intrigued by. Obviously I am incapable of deciding which sweaters I am actually going to knit when I read the magazine, so I might as well just list them all.
