Here are a few more patterns that I still think about from Interweave:

Seaberry Shell by Wenlan Chia:

It was published in the summer 2006 issue. Unfortunately this one is not available anymore because the issue is sold out at Interweave, and this sweater is not in Knitting Daily. Here is the Ravelry link. The only change I would make would be to make it longer as I love everything to be hip or tunic length — otherwise it is perfect.

The next pattern is this one:

The Bonbon Pullover by Mary Lynn Patrick.

This one is available. It was published in the winter 2007 issue, which is available from Interweave (here), and from Knitting Daily (here). The Ravelry link is here. It is like a sweater that a movie star would wear only you could relax in it.

The next one is the Wedgewood Blouse by Nora Gaughan:

This one was also from the summer 2006 issue and is not available from the Knitting Daily store (Ravelry link), but it is a pity that it is not. Who but Nora Gaughan could so perfectly render paisley in knit texture? If anyone can direct me to anything as good or better, either of your own or someone else’s design, I would love to see it, as I love paisley (a fact I have managed to keep rather quiet until now).

That is all I will share for this post, but I may have a few patterns from Vogue Knitting I may want to draw your attention to next, while I have all the magazines taking up a whole chair to themselves in the dining room.

  • Fried rice pick me up
    I used to live in China, and there are some things that I still miss, some things I don’t.  One thing that I became very tired of in China, but now miss is fried rice. I went to China without learning any Chinese at all, and I had to rely on others for many things,  including [...] […]
  • Granola
    Granola is one of the things I really like to make.  I made some recently and this particular version is so lovely that I thought I would share: Recipe: 4 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup oat bran 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup dried currants 1/4 cup [...] […]
  • Lemon buttermilk cookies
    One of the most inspiring examples of food writing I have experienced is A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg — and I have since started reading her blog Orangette.  I made these buttermilk cookies with lemon zest cookies from her index of recipes today: They are wholly satisfying — [...] […]
  • Cranberry jam
    I made this cranberry jam recently: It is quite lovely, and simple to make.  I got the recipe from Nigella Lawson’s How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking, and as she says it really is very easy. I think I may make some next year and give it away for Christmas [...] […]
  • Pistachio cookies (recipe coming)
    I made these pistachio cookies a few days ago: My boyfriend says they are like me — not too sweet and a little nutty. Next time I will put them on parchment paper to make sure they don’t get to dark, and make a few more tweaks.  I plan to make them a few more times to [...] […]
