I don't just mean sizing and too much ease, which are relevant, but also budgets where even substituted yarns make no sense. That blanket, eh?<br /><br />I always look at Interweave and go 'Nah!', but am always interested to check out the patterns. Thanks for going to all the trouble to review them.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991914484606520174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682587938921608840.post-15676796819118027482011-02-25T03:17:46.889+00:002011-02-25T03:17:46.889+00:00This is great!

I hate when they put excerpts from books in it. When I was still buying knitting books, I felt I payed twice for that pattern!<br />The yarn costs to knit these projects as designed are ridiculous and I agree with everything you said about the designs/models/sizing...<br /><br />Thank you for going through all that trouble of finding out the prices and really going into detail about the patterns in the issue!spinndivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08838175032652998436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682587938921608840.post-38390721617449280472011-02-23T18:37:20.526+00:002011-02-23T18:37:20.526+00:00I agree with your review.

I ...Well Sinead, you are dead-on with this review. I absolutely agree with everything you've said. Is it me or do a lot of the items look as though they could use a steam press. Especially the Diminishing Gore Skirt. In terms of IK hitting and missing, there are a lot of misses in this issue. <br /><br />I love the Ruched Yoke Tee and I really like the Leaf & Picot Cardigan. I can see how it might seem old fashioned but paired with the right thing, it might work. <br /><br />I got a good laugh out of your review !

Too funny!<br /><br />But I agree with just about everything you said (I can't imagine how much time this took you!). I HATE all the friggin' layering. You have to weigh all of 92 lbs. to look in that! And I'm not a big woman but it's just too hot where I live to wear more than one layer in any season except winter.<br /><br />I agree, the ruched top is cute and the only one I'd knit. I used to subscribe to IK -- I still think it's a value even if you only knit one pattern out of it and the articles are great, but I'm going to have to give it a rest for awhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
