Interweave Knits Fall 2010 Preview

Posted on | July 16, 2010 | 6 Comments

Even thought the weather is hot and balmy here in New York, the Fall previews give me hope that sweater weather will be here soon. The preview for Interweave Knits Fall 2010 preview went live today and it looks to be a very promising issue! Fall is my favorite time of the year and I can’t wait to start planning my fall wardrobe.

I just happen to have a design in the issue too, the Elementary Vest. When I designed this vest, I wanted it to be an easy introduction to colorwork that anyone could accomplish. The squares in the plaid are done with stranded knitting and the dotted raker stitches are added later on. While the extra finishing may seem to be a daunting task, carrying 3 colors in one row isn’t really the best way to ease yourself into colorwork. Trust me!

With the promise of cooler weather coming soon, what are you planning for your needles?
