I have a rough list of about 6 or 7 sweaters I hope to knit coming up soon, though so I don't see it happening right away, although that can always change. My lists and plans are always a bit rough, and what I actually knit depends on how I feel when I am ready to start the next project. As to the others, the last one would look terrible on me, I have a lot of trouble with that shape of top, and I would never knit it without being able to try it first. I have no use for the suit, but confess that I have been fascinated with Mesa. It looks fun to knit, but I've had a lot of failures the last couple of years, and am not inclined to go out on a limb for a fun process at this point in time. <br /><br />However I just finished and blocked my Geometry scarf by Shibui and it is the most beautiful and satisfying thing I have finished in a couple of years, so I am encouraged. As I settle into myself and what I want now, and return to successful knitting, my perspective may change.

Still, why wouldn't she let the designers benefit and promote her yarn? <br /><br />I forgot to mention that I go onto Etsy and buy vintage mags - and vintage one of patterns.

I would actually never consider purchasing the yarn to get the pattern without seeing it in person for myself - definitely short sighted of the designer to require purchasing yarn to get the pattern. She's missing a whole segment of knitters... All well. She must know what she's doing.<br /><br />Sourcing knits - I do exactly what you do. Ravlery friends' favorites, trolling for new pattern releases & of course my vintage knitting mag stash. :)zilredlohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626730299584724606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-66123560622632243592014-05-21T11:46:51.531-04:002014-05-21T11:46:51.531-04:00I'm all over the asymmetrical look these days ...I'm all over the asymmetrical look these days and really, really like that first pattern so I have queued it, you know, for when I get a spare moment five years from now.
