Check out Vogue Knitting’s Winter Book Sale

February 12, 2013 by Sarah White

vogue knitting book saleIf you’re in the market for some great knitting books, Vogue Knitting and Sixth and Spring are having their winter book sale, which means you can score books for 25 percent off.

They have so many great books, including the Stitchionary series — so inspiring! — tons of great books by Nicky Epstein, the Cascade 220 quick knit books, and lots of great compendiums of information and patterns from the pages of Vogue Knitting.

And because February is heart month, they also note that they published Knit Red, a lovely book full of projects by top designers worked in red. It raises money for the Heart Truth and raises awareness of heart health issues among women. (It happens that just yesterday I got a copy of Stitch Red, a book with a similar concept full of sewing projects. I can’t wait to dive in!)

If you score any good deals, let me know!

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
