Spring Awakening
The Spring knitting patterns are slowly filtering through my consciousness. There are a number of appealing patterns in the Berocco Nora Gaughan Vol 2 book. Currer, Ellis, and Porthos are lovely, and each of them would suit my style and my figure.
In spite of a tepid response to an online preview of Rowan 43, Tanya assures me that I will love the magazine. Noted.
Magknits' Josephine is so well-shaped that I am nearly convinced that the shaping could mitigate the inherent bulk of Rowan Big Wool. Almost. Marjorie and Speckles very much recall the vintage-inspired work of Sarah Dallas that I so loved.
The Vogue Knitting Spring/Summmer 2008 preview did not stir me, mostly because the trends and silhouettes are a bad fit with my style and figure. The Mirabelle Cardigan from Interweave Knits is still on my radar.
Scarves have always appealed to me as an accessory item, however, many of the printed squares are too "mature" or "ladies who lunch" for my taste. Yet there are times when I require a touch of warmth around the neck but desire a touch of fashion with that warmth. The textural quality of Jyri is so seductive that I will make it in a multi-season-friendly yarn. And I should mention that I have already set aside two hanks of Alpaca Sox for my Lace Ribbon Scarf.
