Remember when I asked how people find knitting patterns just a few days ago? I might have confessed that I only knit about 5% of the things that I dog-ear in knitting magazines (and that truth be told, is generous). That was before I saw the preview of IK's Fall issue. I think I might love: Freyja Sweater, Bandelier Socks (words defy how much I love these), Laporte Avenue Tote, Every Way Wrap, and Farmer's Market Cardigan. So, I think I need to run and buy a Power Ball ticket . . . too many knitting patterns and not enough time.
no kidding!
my list includes, bandelier socks (made my jaw hit the floor), slanting gretel tee, felicity hat, freyja sweater, farmers market cardigan, nordique swing and if i lived somewhere cold the clasica coat. i really loved some other things too, but know i wouldn't wear them.
not only do i need to win the lotto, i need a live in nanny and someone to do my sleeping for me!

I think my track record is even worse. I've got several years worth of IK--and I am only now knitting one of the patterns (Tilted Duster). There are many many little sticky flags on the pages, but so little time to knit.
I didn't look at the preview this time because every time I do, I feel just a little bit let down when I get the issue--as in oh, I've already seen that. So I will wait until it is delivered. In the meanwhile, I'm slogging away at the skirt of the TD, and considering redoing the shoulder seams.

Love the Freyja & (surprise, surprise) Farmer's Market Cardigan. But let me ask, do a lot of the sweaters look like they run short?
Fall VK looks promising.

Oohh . . . VK does look promising. The hats are cute (I might suggest a hat class of people's choice) and the first one in the Gold Rush section looks amazing. I wish they had more photos, though. For some reason, I think the goldfish hat is adorable . . . but I'll never knit that.
