knitscene Fall 2008
What is
fun to make and
wearable in real life?
What’s slightly quirky and
unique without being
outlandish? What is a good
use of a yarn? What do
people need in their
closets? The collection
you’ll find in this issue of Knitscene is what we worked
up on the basis of those
questions. These are not
novelty projects or purely
conceptual, these are
work-horse knits that fit
into everyday life and can
become funky or trendy
through styling. At the end
of the day, though
phenomenal and intriguing as
knits, these projects are
real clothes. There’s no
greater pleasure than
getting repeated use out of
a sweater you made—loving
every stitch, the way it
looks with everything,
washing it season after
season and seeing it rebloom.
You’ll be so glad you made
it.

February Lady Sweater
Knitalong
I don’t know
if you have all seen the
February Lady Sweater that
ever yone seems to be in love
with, but it is a reworked adult
size version of one of Elizabeth
Zimmerman’s baby patterns which
has always been so darn cute.
A very clever girl (oh no, not
me) wrote the pattern and posted
it on Ravelry and it seems to
be on almost everybody’s wish
list.
Sooooo, with kind permission from the lovely
Pam Wynne, we are going
to do a Wool and Company Knitalong
of the
February Lady Sweater.
Yippee do I hear you say?
And how does that work.
Well because it is summer and
we are all hot and sticky and
somewhat far flung we will do
it very loosely (the knitalong,
not the knitting) … and at our
own pace. You
can
follow the progress on the
blog.
First
go and download the free pattern,
(making sure it is Version 2.0),
grab your size 8’s and rifle
through your stash. If
nothing jumps up and screams
that it is the perfect yarn
for this project come on down
to the store or order online
from us because we will give
you 15% off your February Lady
Supplies! And boy do we
have supplies. I am using
Plymouth’s Tweed for mine,
and others have chosen
Dream in Color Classy, Jaeger
Extra Fine Merino,
Aurora 8,
Cascade 220, Malabrigo,
Araucania Cotton,
Blue Sky Alpaca Organic Cotton
and the list goes on and on.
Then register with us and we
will put you into the drawing
for some yummy and wonderful
goodies. Then get your
gauge swatch done, (who me?…
of course I did) and start your
sweater. Watch the blog
and Ravelry for any hints, tips
and tricks that we have
come up with or heard about
from others to make your life
easier.
Sometime in September or
October we will have a February
Festival and everyone can show
off their fabulous Febs … easy
as that. Let me know if
you have questions … and a very
Happy February to you all.

Joe Marie completed the Crayon Box Jacket using browns and reds.
