So, even though it’ll be a while before I see it in print, the Spring 2008 Interweave Knits previews are up (oh, wait, no…I think Mom just sent the last issue of my subscription. Shoot. I’ll have to take care of that). It seems like a particularly cardigan-centric issue, not that there’s anthing wrong with that. There are only a few projects that I really like.
First is the Flutter Sleeve Cardigan. It’s pretty, and it looks like it’d be a nice layer over lighter summer clothes if you work in an office somewhere that runs the AC non-stop all summer long.
I also like the Printed Silk Cardigan. Mostly, I like the shape, and especially the neckline and the sleeves.
Then, there’s the Cobweb Lace Stole (rather uninventive name for it, I think). I don’t care much for the yarn, and I’d like to see a better shot of more of the actual patterning, but it looks intriguing.
Finally, there’s the Bleeding Hearts Stole (see? A much better name, even if it’s just named after the lace motif). I really like the look of this one, and although I suspect the edging may be picked up and knit after the middle portion of the stole (a technique I haven’t yet attempted, mostly due to my suspicions that I’ll screw it up something fierce), it looks like something that I could manage. Maybe I’ll give it a try. You know, later. When I don’t have a mental deficit caused by working for an insane company.
