A Look at Interweave Knits’ Fall Issue

July 30, 2012 by Sarah White

interweave knits fall 12Clearly I am ready for fall (and fall knitting). My copy of the fall issue of Interweave Knits arrived over the weekend and I spent the morning of a day that turned out to be 104 degrees (that’s 40 four our international readers) paging through it and dreaming of days that will be cool enough to use some of these lovely knits.

Just about everything in this issue looked like something I’d love to knit — or maybe that I’d love to have time to knit! (I feel a massive binge of just-for-me knitting coming on as soon as I finish my book).

I am in love with the Sazerac Pullover by Anniken Allis, a bottom-up, circular-yoke sweater worked in tweed yarn accented with dropped stitches. Two bulky cabled projects caught my eye: Amy Christoffers’ Roam Tunic and the Sweetheart Pullover by Kate Knuff.

And though I detest Peter Pan collars (way too sweet for my taste) I admire the Downton Pullover by Amy Keffer, which does look like it would be at home on the British series. Zelda’s Cloche by Shelley Gerber is another pretty period piece, and the bulky, tunic-length Big Tile Pullover has just the right amount of bold colorwork to make a statement while still being a quick knit. You can check out all the patterns for yourself on Ravelry.

There are also features on American-made yarns and Peruvian knitting techniques that will have you wanting to see out these fibers and try the techniques.

Have you seen the new issue yet? Anything made it to your queue? Spill it!

    I haven’t seen this issue yet guess I best get down to my local yarn shop!!! I need to start my Christmas knitting NOW!! thnx for all the fun!

Have you read?

Embellish Your Knit Dishcloth with Flowers

One great thing to knit when the weather is warm (or honestly any other time) is dishcloths and washcloths. They are fun and easy projects and a great way to play with new skills. Pretty washcloths make cleaning a tiny bit more fun, and they’re great to have on hand as a quick addition to a store-bought gift. 

The Daisy Delight Dishcloth from Yarnspirations is a fun one for using leftover bits of green in your cotton yarn stash. What looks like the bottom in the picture is actually the left side as you knit it, and each little color section is worked with its own ball of yarn, intarsia style. 

That’s a little fiddly for a washcloth, but the effect is cute, and it’s a simple way to learn the basics of intarsia knitting (as well as reading a chart) if you don’t already have those skills. 

One the knitting is done, you add the flowers with a bit of lazy daisy embroidery, which is really easy to do even if you’re not that into embroidery. You could also potentially add flowers in duplicate stitch if you’d rather. 

This may be the most work you’ve put into a dishcloth, but isn’t it adorable? It would be fun to use as a hand towel through the spring and summer, and if you already have some leftover green yarn from other projects it should be pretty easy to do. 

You could also take this same concept and make it different colors. All dark green stems with stars on top might be reminiscent of Christmas trees, or brown with daisy stitch on top in different colors could be trees in the fall. 

However you stitch it, this looks like a fun little project for knitters who are comfortable with intarsia and reading charts or who are ready to try those skills. 

You can grab the free pattern from Yarnspirations.
