Press Review Spring 2009: Press pixel

Well, I take up where I stayed, because if I imagine that the output of Knitty Twist Collective or you do not go unnoticed, this is perhaps not The same applies to other publications more confidential.

For latecomers, even when reminded that the Twist Collective Spring is a opening number with lots of child models and men (women too, of course) and several books on the hook. As for

Knitty Spring he published for the first time a boss Lia Moya, Hanne , collaborator Tejemanejes (the collar Pudorosa is it) and creative Liaknits . In Madrid, I had the chance to manipulate the truth "vest" with splendid colors and building very special and very fun to guess how to put on.

After a mini-winter issue (with a beautiful openwork shawl repainted: Melusine ), The last The Anticraft is a special "merkin" . Tip: If you know what, go check the definition before clicking on the models. It will reduce the shock! ;-)

In British, still no first issue at The Knitting Forecast and a break from The Inside Loop , which will resume in May but released in an 8th Knit on the Net in great shape, which in this special issue "Glamour" galloping left more than ever his penchant for the 1940s, already present in previous editions.

So, magazine oriented knit retro Popknits seems contemporary comparison in its spring issue, the third name.

resolutely contemporary fashion and in contrast, Metapostmodernknitting also released its third issue this spring, including a perforated top modulabl e lavaliere whose trailer can be through a cable (not a bad idea).

Remember Knotions that this spring we offer a number including colorful Bome a jacquard cardigan that hides the Korean characters that would have a place in my series Typotricot .

And I welcome teens Teen Knitter who are in their number 4. Many webzines knit headed adults can not say that!

Belle transition to talk about knitting webzines dead. Black Purl Magazine had put the key under the door, but you could still browse back issues. It is no longer the case since we are now redirected to Craftnicity , where only a few items are still available. I am delighted that the founder of BPM is still full of ideas and projects, but a shame that the archives of past issues disappear (fortunately I had planned instantly and downloaded the beautiful mittens Vaasa Danielle Kassner).

Worldwide non-English speaking Ulla is always faithful to the post with his first issue of the year, enough to flip Glagla (all that snow on the photos!).

As Tejemanejes , will I pass out the third number? The answer to this suspense within a month.

Regarding the hook, besides The Crochet Insider and Hook Me , I discovered that there are also Crochet Uncut , the mouthpiece of the Crochet Liberation Front . They are in second number of spring after the first issue this winter and a special edition for Christmas, both of which are available in pdf format, easier to browse the web version.

For the spinners, I note the last Winter / Spring 2009 Spindlicity . And for the weavers, Weavezine abandons the webzine format and joined the podcast Weavecast on a single site dedicated to weaving. More convenient to handle for Syne Mitchell, but less fun to browse.

the clipboard, I'll leave that for another post. And especially I'll be back soon cause you to knit and BD Handknit Heroes .

What To Wear For Kickboxing

Fini! No. 78 hooded-cape Balsam


The last work completed in 2008, was the hooded cape-Balsam a boss Ilga Leja . I had spotted it, because I liked the slightly Inuit it gives to the wearer. And then I recovered from the maternal stock of 3 balls Mohair King Georges Picaud a beautiful raspberry color, that fits perfectly question film and sample.

The owner is very detailed and well explained, at least as increases. There, it just says "continue the pattern as previously," this is a bit light which, as the number mesh (and ranks) will change to repeat each increase. A knitter with some experience extrapolate easily, but a beginner is likely to crash if it follows the indication at the foot of the letter.
Besides this small detail, this model is very easy to knit. Yet, I struggled to finish: he almost kill my boredom "knitting mojo as they say across the Atlantic.

must say that i had to take 4 times (3 times and thus unravel the mesh folded mohair, which foot!) Before obtaining a satisfactory edge. If it does not tighten enough, we get a trailer and ruffled edge. If you tighten too much, you can no longer put around the shoulders. A real headache!
Besides, if I re-knitting a Balsam, I start from the bottom, which will have the added advantage of replacing the increase by reducing and optimizing the use of wool if available a small film. Me, I recommended and the footage I had some leftovers so I lengthened the pilgrim party (8 or 12 rows, I forget).


However, very light and very warm, soft mohair enough to be worn in contact with the neck and face, the result has pleased its recipient, even if the board trailer Always a bit. So mission accomplished.

2009, the year of natural fibers



After the 2008 year of the potato ", FAO decreed that 2009 is the year of natural fibers. The years "this" or "it" is not my thing, but I'd be jumping at FAO this year, if I ever dig up interesting information, I will come back.

Anyway, the year 2009 of my blog begins with several months of delay. I had to leave almost three months earlier this year and I forgot at home with the USB stick all my photos and my drafts of the article, this explains it. We'll see if I can catch up partly for the delay.

Go here for the rest of our normal programming (press reviews, fashion and fashion-cons, the finished works, etc.).
