Check out the Vogue Knitting Holiday 2012 Preview

October 17, 2012 by Sarah White 5 Comments

Vogue Knitting’s holiday issue will hit newsstands Nov. 6 (though you can download it now on your iPad), and the fashion preview has just been launched so you can start planning the projects you want to make.

Stories in the issue include Hip Parade, which is all about peplums; For the Frill of It (clutches made with self-ruffling yarns); Scarlet Fever, a collection of little red dresses; Graphic Content, which is all colorblocked tops; Pale Riders, a set of accessories worked in winter whites and icy pastels; and Top Brass, sweaters and coats with brass buttons and other military-inspired details.

There are also a couple pattern from designer Tom Scott, who talks to the magazine about his inspiration and architectural aesthetic.

I’m loving some super-long cabled socks and an oversized colorblocked tee in this issue. Check it out and let me know if anything’s getting added to your knit list!

That’s a really good question that I don’t have the answer to. I’m not sure that it’s widely available in Africa at all. There is a contact phone number and e-mail for subscriptions outside of North America and Europe, so I would start there. http://www.vogueknitting.com/frequently_asked_questions.aspx#7 Good luck!

Rozelle, I live in Australia and i subscribe to Vogue Knitting digitally on ISSUU dot com. If you google it you should find it, I know it’s not the same as a print copy but I like to make sure I get every issue, hope this helps. You can also purchase single back and current issues.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
