IK summer '12
Tuesday, May 08, 2012
My interweave knits was delivered along with the warmer temps. Perfect timing.
I think I found something that I certainly want to look into knitting. I L O V E this sweater! "Nautical striping goes modern with super-skinny lines and neutral beige in the bethany wrap I-cord edging and a polo collar add weight and anchoring detail to the long flyaway fronts." This moved to the top of my list. (I really must show you what I am working on. So that I will actually work on it.)
I thought these darn beach umbrella's were just about the cutest things. Ever. (Except no pattern.) The article is great. All about "cool wool". Wool is back for summer.

That swaddling blanket got me too! I also thought about the nautical striped sweater. Still working on my current project though and trying not to get distracted.
ReplyDeletei can see that striped sweater on you! i hope you make it. xo.
ReplyDeleteI got my issue the other day and flag that same skinny striped sweater! Congrats on having a driving...sounds like more knitting time for you! Hope your school years are ending on great notes!
ReplyDeleteThat baby would have been the cutest pattern of the magazine if it hadn't been an ad :( But I was pleasantly surprised when I looked through the mag- I'm usually not such a fan of 'summer knits.'
ReplyDeleteI got that magazine as well. And the baby pattern also made me smile. I am of the age that maybe I might knit it for a grandchild. Who knows.
ReplyDeleteI made YOUR famous Choc Chip cookies yesterday for dessert for friends. They feel like hugs, don't you think? I would have pegged you with that sweater. The question remains, what colors?
ReplyDeleteI, too, was drawn immediately to the Bethany pattern and those umbrellas -- they definitely need to release a pattern for the umbrellas! :) Can't wait to see your Bethany.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that swaddling blanket! The sweater is nice, but man, I have so many sweaters I want to knit, I refuse to look at it too closely!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually a spring or summer knits fan, either, (though this year the spring issue was one I saved, ahem, ahem...) but agree that this one had some cute things, including that sweater/shawl! Can't wait to see what you're making!
ReplyDeleteI just leafed thru that magazine and missed the sweater - I love it. Your choices ae always good. I also wanted to know how to make the umbrellas they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the Bethany Wrap as well. In fact I just swatched with some forever old yarn (that would never work with a project I liked) and can't wait to cast on!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that sweater amazing! I fell right in love with it too! Interweave is genius. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that striped sweater is so wonderful. Wishing you a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI got my issue and loved the swadling blanket too! I have already started on a baby blanket for my niece's baby due in July though - must stick with the plan for now :o). My son is 16 as of last week and a driver as of yesterday and my daughter is 12. These are good ages, I agree!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day my friend! May you celebrate well with all your peeps!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater reminds me of the shawl in "Juju's Loops"http://www.loopknitlounge.com/projects/jujus-loops/.
