Vogue Knitting Fall Preview is Out!

The fall issue of Vogue Knitting celebrates the magazine’s 30th anniversary, and the fashion preview has been released to get us all excited about the next things we want to knit.

Because 30 is the pearl anniversary, pearl is one of the themes, with a whole story around cream-colored yarns beaded with pearls (and also made with pearls). Other features include Wanderlust, all about texture and Eastern influences; Ode to the Aran, a collection of classic projects in of-the-moment jewel tones and saturated colors; and the Glamour Gallery, in which mohair yarns take center stage to produce pretty, luxurious garments.

The issue will also include a look at Kaffe Fassett’s autobiography, Deborah Newton’s look at finishing Aran projects and much more.

One project that caught my eye is a cool Fair Isle coat in which what’s typically thought of as the wrong side is worn as the outside. You have to take a lot of care with how you handle your floats on such a project, but it’s a beauty!

If you want to get a closer look at any of the projects, you can click on the pictures for a zoomed-in view. See anything you like? Spill it!

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
