Of course I had to wear something knitted from one of their recent magazines so chose this one from the winter 2015 issue.
And of course I had to sew an outfit to go with it.....
Because this event was in sunny California, the yarns carried by the vendors were different than the heavy wools I found in wintry New York. I was able to see some lovely lighter weight yarns in cotton, hemp, silk, bamboo and linen....and of course some found their way into my suitcase to take home.
I have just finished my first warm weather sweater for the year. This pattern is from the spring Interweave magazine ( my second favorite for knitting patterns) and is made from a linen cotton blend yarn. I found some fabric to make a skirt in a mixture of the same colors with a pattern from the new Vogue sewing catalog, which I hope to show soon. Oh VOGUE, how I love thee for sewing AND knitting!
You are just having entirely too much fun these days! ;) Your knitting knocks my socks off. I'm lucky if I finish one sweater in two years!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment Linda. I am having loads of fun but not getting that much sewing done, just basic stuff to go with my sweaters!
ReplyDeleteThat's our Peg! So coordinated. You're a wiz. Can't wait to see you and hear the news!

ReplyDeleteI really like how you wear your pullovers with longer t-shirts, Peg! I've mostly been sticking to cardigans but I can see where an overlayer works really nicely. Must get back to sewing though. It's a lot faster than knitting sweaters!
