I have spent the last 3 days in Minneapolis where Vogue Knitting Magazine held their latest show. Vogue magazine has always been my favorite Knitting magazine, because of their latest styles and interesting patterns. I went to a lecture by the Editor in Chief and learned that she views all the latest fashion shows (whether they are knitwear or not) and chooses designs for the magazine that reflect these new trends. She gave an excellent slide show and I learned a lot about what to expect in the next year of knittted fashion.<br />
<br />
I ran into a wonderful knitter who I had only met online and we felt like old friends. I was wearing a sweater I made from the cover of a recent magazine.<br />

Besides the excellent yarn shopping opportunities my other favorite thing at VKL is the "Readers' Runway Show". There are many other fashion shows with professional models put on by yarn companies but in the "Readers'" show amateur knitters have a chance to model items they have made from the pages of Vogue Knitting Magazine.<br />
<br />
I was chosen along with 25 others to be in this show and it was definitely the high point of the weekend! We all met early backstage and learned some modeling tips. It was so much fun meeting other knitters and seeing each other's projects. Here are some pictures of the models in their outfits, startinwith me in my bright fuchsia beaded tunic and also some interesting knitted items I saw at the show. AND I am already working on my next sweater to apply to the READER's RUNWAY SHOW which will be held at VOGUE KNITTING LIVE in New York in Jan so stay tuned!<br />

The high point of today for me was going to Candace Strick's presentation on her new book. I have knitted 3 of the skirts from this wonderful book and wore this one today.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope to show that skirts can look good on a large person and this book gives all the tips and tricks to make them fit great on any size. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of Candace but she was wearing a beautiful skirt called "the Mummy Skirt" made out of pure linen. She explained how knitters think linen is too stiff and rough but after a good machine wash and dry it drapes beautifully.<br />
<br />
As usual I saw some lovely knitted and crocheted items while shopping in the market and here are some that caught my eye.<br />

Part of the fun of going to "Knitters Day Out" held annually near Harrisburg PA is seeing all the wonderful knitted items that people are wearing. I got there at lunchtime on Saturday and everyone was sitting on the patio partaking of the wonderful lunch buffet.</div>

I took the following pictures of knitters wearing items that caught my eye. First though, I have to show you one of the funniest scenes. These lovely ladies must have run out of time to finish their own sweaters so were wearing these cute tops that had a knitted looking print....brilliant!<br />

There were many great classes during the day and a half that the show ran, and lots of beautiful yarn in the vendor's area! </div>

I haunted my current favorite designer, Candace Strick and wore a skirt from her newly published book, entitled "Knit my Skirt". I will be following her to Stitches Texas next weekend and have two more skirts from this wonderful book!</div>

My last day at Stitches, although it will go on one more day without me. I wore a skirt I knitted from a "Maggi-knits" dress kit. Maggi Jackson is an Irish designer and completely original with her asymmetrical and artistic designs. I also love her yarns, especially the linen and wool tweeds.<br />
<br />
Here are some of her wonderful designs that I saw on people today:<br />

In no particular order here are other knitted and crocheted items that caught my eye today at the market and tonight at the dinner. Note the charming lady in the hat...she doesn't have a knitted item on now but is learning to knit and will have a large red Lacey shawl on with her outfit at next year's convention. I can't wait to come back to Stitches Midwest the first week of August, 2017!</div>

Friday was another wonderful day at Stitches! So fun that I was too tired to blog when I got back from the Fashion Show and Dinner. The fashion show was the high point of the day for me ....with models wearing many of the outfits from the latest Knitters magazine, lots of skirts from Candace's new book, and other exciting new designs from various designers and booths. I started to take pictures but then they announced that all the professional photos would be on the KNITTING UNIVERSE Facebook page. I just looked and they are all there so have a look!<br />
<br />
Since I was wearing a crocheted top because of the heat, I decided to take pictures at the market of people wearing crocheted items or knitted items that would be good for hot weather. I think many people still think of knitted items as heavy wool sweaters and that just isn't so anymore. In the market now are wonderful linen, cotton, silk, bamboo and other natural fibers that are beautiful and cool!<br />
<br />
Don't some of these ladies look like they are ready for a tropical vacation?<br />

I am at another Yarn convention! This one is the well-known STITCHES put on by the company that produces KNITTERS' magazine, and employs many of their designers to teach classes and workshops in knitting, crochet and weaving.<br />

I especially wanted to come this year because the Opening Day presentation was given by Candace Strick, a well-known knit designer who has recently published a book on knitted skirts. I bought the book as soon as it came out and there are over 20 designs for beautiful and unusual skirts. As you have probably guessed, my skirt in the above picture is from her book and is called the "Mondrian skirt" as it is based on the famous painting by that artist.<br />
<br />
In her talk, Candace made the point that many women think they will not look good in a knitted skirt, but if made to fit correctly they can be very flattering to all shapes of women. Here are some pictures of skirts on people in the audience and on her models and I think you will agree they all look great.<br />

I have been in Charleston, SC for the last few days at the National Crochet Guild convention. Crochet has come a long way from the dowdy image it had formerly, and I hope these pics of some of the wonderful designs I saw will attest to that.<br />
<br />
I love crochet for warm weather wearables. It usually has lots of holes for coolness and lends itself to natural yarns such as cotton, linen, silk, bamboo and rayon...all good fibers for the summer. The above top is made with a rayon/nylon yarn which gives it a bit of shine. The other items I crocheted to wear at the convention are at the end of this post.....a dress and a top that is knitted on the front and crocheted on the back (you can probably guess which side was more popular here!)<br />
<br />
The theme of the convention was the pineapple, which is also a symbol of welcome in S Carolina. There is a crochet motif called the pineapple which you can see in the purple shawl and one of the emcees at the fashion show had actually crocheted herself a "pineapple dress"!<br />
<br />
I hope to be back next month with scenes from a KNITTING show.....my needles are already flying to have some special things to wear to that!<br />

I have been absent from the blogging world since my flurry of sewing last summer. Thanks to you that have asked what happened!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I joined a group on Ravelry.com (THE website for knitters and crocheters) that took the challenge to make 12 new sweaters this year. I met my goal just today when I finished my 12th item--</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first picture which is a sweater dress I planned to wear to a New Year's dinner tonight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are all 12 of this year's projects, mostly knitted with some crochet and other techniques. In most cases I did sew the outfits to go with each new sweater. This was such a fun yearlong project that I plan to take the same challenge in 2016, maybe even going to the next level of completing 16 projects. I Will be starting my first project after midnight! Happy New Year and hope to be showing you my knitting this year (and probably some sewing too)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tUp6Q1exph8/VZ1QZeUlXGI/AAAAAAAADsg/fieTiDkmkyU/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tUp6Q1exph8/VZ1QZeUlXGI/AAAAAAAADsg/fieTiDkmkyU/s320/image.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
Marcy has written a very helpful post on her blog on different aspects of this pattern, including how to add sleeves, which I will probably do on my next version.<a href="http://marcytiltonblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/tweaking-cirque-dress-vogue-9112.html">Marcy's blog</a><br />

I did this by taping all the upper bodice pattern pieces together and then cutting a horizontal line through the whole front and back in the usual manner of lengthening. This meant that both the front and back would be cut all in one piece, which was okay with me as I knew there would be lots of contrast on the bottom</div>

I really like the contrast and complexity this caused on the bottom owf the dress.</div>

This is one of my favorite dresses that I have made and I definitely plan on making it again....as usual, WELL DONE MARCY!</div>

Even "basic" items for me need to be somewhat different and preferably asymmetric so I chose this Marcy Tilton pattern..<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has 3 unusually shaped pieces and makes up very quickly. I added a little length and didn't make the contrasting waistband since I planned to wear one of my rectangular poncho-type overtops.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UQ9_bt8tCY4/VY7AC60Sz5I/AAAAAAAADq8/9XJZt2b8_5w/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UQ9_bt8tCY4/VY7AC60Sz5I/AAAAAAAADq8/9XJZt2b8_5w/s320/image.jpg" width="130" /></a></div>
The skirt can be worn with any area as the front. I had fun turning it to different angles and found that each view was slightly different.<br />

Even though the pattern says this skirt should be made from moderate stretch fabric I believe a soft woven would be fine and I am looking forward to making it again when I need a "basic skirt"</div>

I have just a few more things to make in the red, white and blue color scheme and am meanwhile knitting on a summer linen shawl type scarf designed by Maggi Jackson that will actually have strips of fabric woven through it.</div>

It just came out and I wanted it so much I didn't even wait for it to be on sale. I just love all the designs by Katherine and her sister Marcy who designs for Vogue.<br />

<br />
This pattern has so much potential for different looks. I went with coordinating stripes I had in my collection and made version A. I cut out my usual XL size with the only changes being making it 3 inches longer. It went together quickly and I love the look and feel.<br />

The pants are Vogue 9114 which I showed the skirt for in my last post...really love these too....loose without looking "baggish". Next week I will be getting back to "skirted items"!<br />

Couldn't wait to try this pattern as it reminds me a lot of some of the "boutique" type looks I see in linen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The folds in the skirt look so complicated but are actually made with 4 inside ties on each side that can be tied for different looks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This has been so much fun to wear that I have already cut out the pants and hope to be showing them soon.</div>

Have to say I am getting lots of wear out of my new skirts and dresses and they are so much more comfortable than pants now that the weather is getting warmer. Can't wait to have a closet full!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ubL499-R6s8Vpai8rnxMjNbcgTQY0KMM6eE0mzDKcQ_rNDYH_vvdI8Wc7SjeR4rSYGberyj_5ZJzbkpNg4sfM_plaLVmQmyusQOAJT6jCNDQ-2w0WktT_I5Hu13V7OHf8i8ogDomV71S/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ubL499-R6s8Vpai8rnxMjNbcgTQY0KMM6eE0mzDKcQ_rNDYH_vvdI8Wc7SjeR4rSYGberyj_5ZJzbkpNg4sfM_plaLVmQmyusQOAJT6jCNDQ-2w0WktT_I5Hu13V7OHf8i8ogDomV71S/s320/image.jpg" width="272" /></a></div>
I realized as I was cutting out the pattern that I only had 2 different sizes of striped fabric rather than the three called for in the pattern but decided to make do, putting the larger stripes on the bottom and center front.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTEevqQSwjEv8q4Y158E_ccAF-Ay2E8ZxoBQeZzgWVnC-mrQ42i0TN8CM8FjrczDd9g0L2WdgyS3n86eejFpxO8RjH-Kwsd5hWUieelTHK9HiIvF7fwiwOn9CSVwsIMen_Ilw6vrF4cgr/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTEevqQSwjEv8q4Y158E_ccAF-Ay2E8ZxoBQeZzgWVnC-mrQ42i0TN8CM8FjrczDd9g0L2WdgyS3n86eejFpxO8RjH-Kwsd5hWUieelTHK9HiIvF7fwiwOn9CSVwsIMen_Ilw6vrF4cgr/s320/image.jpg" width="113" /></a></div>
I purposely mismatched the large horizontal stripes at the seam between the side and front. Usually I don't mind horizontal stripes because of my height but these make me look quite large! I thought the break between the two pieces might give a vertical line that would help slim me down on the bottom!<br />
Not sure if it worked but is is more interesting I think. If I had matched the stripes it would have looked like one piece of fabric.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25vrprs5q24/VXNEokq5iQI/AAAAAAAADnE/tKB8Liv3QVE/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25vrprs5q24/VXNEokq5iQI/AAAAAAAADnE/tKB8Liv3QVE/s320/image.jpg" width="138" /></a>I added some tucks in the back so those horizontal lines wouldn't be quite so "widening"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dress was labelled "easy" and made up very quickly. I like the easy fit and would like to make it again in something besides stripes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have already started the "skirted" project for next week using one of the new Vogue summer patterns so be sure to check back and keep sewing!</div>

In looking through the new patterns by some of my favorite designers I see that they too are thinking along the "skirted" line!<br />
<br />
With the new Vogue patterns I picked up at the recent JoAnne's sale (which I believe goes all weekend), I have enough patterns AND fabric to make a new outfit each week this summer, a project that seems obtainable.<br />
<br />
My first out fit is from an older t&t pattern which I love (Simplicity 3881), a long skirt with either one or two wide ruffles around the bottom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-khN1ek9sjgk/VWno4F2zftI/AAAAAAAADlM/a8sWkVbA4t8/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-khN1ek9sjgk/VWno4F2zftI/AAAAAAAADlM/a8sWkVbA4t8/s320/image.jpg" width="119" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HZybK8P8IXU/VWoBk4ie5tI/AAAAAAAADl4/y4RFolIug_g/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HZybK8P8IXU/VWoBk4ie5tI/AAAAAAAADl4/y4RFolIug_g/s320/image.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
The only change I made, besides lengthening, was to make an elastic waistband. In fact I cut the top of the skirt longer by almost a skirt's length, folded it under and put the elastic casing in that fold. That actually gives me a self-lining slip but without the extra at the waist that a separate half slip would entail (I have learned the hard way that no matter how opaque a skirt is I ALWAYS need a slip).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUMFZBqXupBWRV4Fnx9e8DJg1Y68-HGdKYArqXWJr7sC-y81qeestJMuXZLWr_EQ90uNWay1HD-YnWoHgxgdTV-zSsq77527Vo5LV2WZA8zrIbYAV06-rCiWDCK4lwBWRwtZWXQ5BsWhp/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUMFZBqXupBWRV4Fnx9e8DJg1Y68-HGdKYArqXWJr7sC-y81qeestJMuXZLWr_EQ90uNWay1HD-YnWoHgxgdTV-zSsq77527Vo5LV2WZA8zrIbYAV06-rCiWDCK4lwBWRwtZWXQ5BsWhp/s320/image.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This picture shows the underskirt laid out and the elastic waist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knitted the purple top with some cotton/linen yarn which is cool for summer and made the necklace out of cut-up flip flops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So stay tuned for hopefully another skirt or dress this summer. Here are some of the new and old patterns I will be choosing from.</div>

Vogue Knitting (and sewing) patterns have always been my favorite and it is so much fun to see the actual samples from their magazine in their many fashion shows. They also offer great classes, lectures and many vendors.<br />
<br />
Of course I had to wear something knitted from one of their recent magazines so chose this one from the winter 2015 issue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
And of course I had to sew an outfit to go with it.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zwcpw02L3-Y/VUGApBAta-I/AAAAAAAADkI/PurOY7RSZtU/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zwcpw02L3-Y/VUGApBAta-I/AAAAAAAADkI/PurOY7RSZtU/s1600/image.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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!</div>

He and knit designer StevenB will be touring the East Coast for 4-5 weeks, and I am trying to hit as many venues as possible, wearing a sweater he designed at each. Going to these "fashion shows" is great fun, and one of the best parts is meeting other Knitters who like his unusual designs!<br />

He is wearing the sweater design in this one that I am working on for his next tour stop!<br />
<br />
Strangely, I had more comments from other knitters there on the rest of my outfit and questions as to how I found things to coordinate. Of course you readers that are sewers will realize that I sewed all the other items I am wearing. I took my yarns to FABRIC MART (the actual store, not the website) and was able to find all these great knits.....the 3 tops are just basic tee shirts, each cut a little longer than the next (an idea from a Marcy Tilton pattern) and the pants are Vogue 8859, a Marcy design. Purse is from Icon and the blue streak in my hair is temporary!<br />
<br />
Back to my knitting so I can turn up at their next stop in Alexandria, VA at Fiber Space Yarn shop for their Saturday trunk "Show and Tell" and meet more knitters who love challenging and wild designs.....hope to see some of you there!pegsewerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04368008409658563613noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736016066610392522.post-67377044968063173632015-01-21T11:19:00.000-08:002015-01-21T11:19:52.167-08:00Vogue Knitting LIVE in NYCI was fortunate enough to attend the knitting convention put on by Vogue Knitting Magazine in Manhattan this past weekend and had a wonderful time. In addition to the classes, lectures, fashion shows and vendors, they added a new activity this year.....the Readers' Runway Show.<br />
<br />
They asked for applications from knitters showing an article they had knitted from the magazine and chose 30 items to be modeled on the fashion runway. This is the item I applied with and was overjoyed to be accepted!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This pattern actually hadn't been in their magazine but was the signature sweater of the VKL advertisements and was free on their website. Here is a pic of the original. As you can see I added more colors!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aC38SFIU_ys/VL_1svVo9LI/AAAAAAAADZE/FI_WNhCMSds/s1600/P1030034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aC38SFIU_ys/VL_1svVo9LI/AAAAAAAADZE/FI_WNhCMSds/s1600/P1030034.JPG" height="320" width="203" /></a></div>
To spice the outfit up a little I took my practice intarsia piece and used it in the center of a Stephen West designed scarf called "Safety Scarf"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oJLWgqVnyHM/VL_2Oh1_9TI/AAAAAAAADZk/uTIppSDoBvQ/s1600/P1030027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oJLWgqVnyHM/VL_2Oh1_9TI/AAAAAAAADZk/uTIppSDoBvQ/s1600/P1030027.JPG" height="300" width="320" /></a></div>
I also used the leftover yarn to make a Stephen West hat called "Syncopation Adoratiion" which uses a 2- color brioche stitch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was so much fun to walk the runway in my creations, and especially to visit backstage with the other 29 participants who came from all over, even some from Europe! We are hoping they will keep this event next year and I am already considering something from Vogue Knitting Magazine to knit for it.<br />
<br />
The other fun thing was that I was able to take 3 classes with my newly favorite knitware designer, Stephen West. As I said in my last blog, he really has a talent for designing VERY DIFFERENT items than your average sweater. Here I am with him in his "YES" themed outfit, which he used as the central idea for the class to convince us to try new ways of knitting.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But there is more fun to come! Stephen, along with his teaching partner StevenB, are now going to be touring the East Coast for the next 4 weeks, giving classes and putting on their fabulous fashion shows showing their originals. I have become a total GROUP-ie and plan to follow him around to several different events in the next weeks. I am trying to have a different creation knitted up for each of his locations and get my picture taken with him so STAY TUNED!

He designs wild, asymmetric colorful pieces....many shawls but I like his sweaters best. Here is my first one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vqcVH2yRncU/VKL5NAToLeI/AAAAAAAADQo/L7Vq5-QTLS4/s1600/P1030017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vqcVH2yRncU/VKL5NAToLeI/AAAAAAAADQo/L7Vq5-QTLS4/s1600/P1030017.JPG" height="320" width="263" /></a></div>
For you that understand "knit speak", this involved lot of short rows!<br />
<br />
So my knitting plans involve as many Stephen West items as I can make, AND in the process using a lot of my yarn stash, since his patterns always use lots of colors.<br />
<br />
My sewing plans include making things to go with my new knitted designs and more of those Tilton sisters paterns, which I think will soon be out.....can't wait to see what they have come up with next!<br />
<br />
Happy New Year's sewing and/or knitting to you!<br />

This is a new pattern designed for the Fiber Factor knit designer contest sponsored by Skacel company. If you are a member of Ravelry you can see the pattern called "bravura". The designer Tracy ha:s just lead a KAL (knit along) to make it and answered questions by the participants while we knitted it.<br />
<br />
I wanted to knit this ever since I saw the original since I was mystified how it could be knit all in one piece and have all those layers on the back. As you can see, from the back it looks like a cardigan sweater with a cape over it, finished up with a hood over all. Yes, it was knit all in one piece and is the most amazing pattern design I have ever seen, on the level with all those Issey Miyake patterns I used to sew! Now we need some cold weather so I can wear it.<br />

This jacket, Butterick 6106, was particularly fun.<br />

I really like the way some of these jacket pieces were put together, in some cases requiring sewing a straight edge to a slightly curved one. This allowed the jacket to have some fit and not just be straight up and down.</td></tr>

I have also loved the patterns of her sister Marcy, who designs for Vogtue and have just about all their patterns. The 3 new ones by Katherine in the Butterick line are really awesome.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just finished Butterick 6101 and am amazed at the complicated and good looking top pattern that resulted.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see in the line drawings it is completely asymmetrical and it is very hard to figure out what the pattern pieces looks like.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z2lmztACgLc/VAsvvtAm3UI/AAAAAAAACO0/ytjevioYtuY/s1600/P1020943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z2lmztACgLc/VAsvvtAm3UI/AAAAAAAACO0/ytjevioYtuY/s1600/P1020943.JPG" height="303" width="320" /></a></div>
The only hints I can give for making up this pattern is to read the directions carefully! I just took it one step at a time, not knowing exactly what I was sewing to what, but it all came out perfectly at the end. Katherine is definitely a genius at pattern design and I am starting her other two in this collection right away.<br />

I had to do LOTS of trial pinning, folding and tucking to keep it from looking like a balloon top, in part because the silk shantung fabric I used was a bit stiff (even after washing and drying a couple times!)

Luckily, this pattern has buttonholes to temporarily set the hem at different lengths because I still think I prefer the DRESS version......What do you think?<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6mhi9PHcFNc/VASE4-dVVCI/AAAAAAAACJ4/38j2Y-Alsnc/s1600/015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6mhi9PHcFNc/VASE4-dVVCI/AAAAAAAACJ4/38j2Y-Alsnc/s1600/015.JPG" height="200" width="101" /></a><br />

I chose this pattern, 1410, from the new batch from Vogue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
A very simple pattern, just a front and back, with the skirt cut in a huge bell shape. The directions say to turn in and stitch around the neck and arm openings but I made bias binding, which I think looks much better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
There are some small tucks on the front that really give the draped look that I like so much, though I did not make mine as deep as the pattern and also didn't add the tie and button which gives the design very sharp angles.</div>

The really fun part of this pattern is that it has a series of buttons on the inside side seams so that one can put the hem at different lengthens. I preferred the longer length on this but am making another version that I will try wearing the tunic length so stay tuned! Yeah for autumn!<br />

I haven't been sewing much in the last months but have been working on a complex knitting project which I finally have finished and photographed. This dress was in the spring edition of Vogue Knitting and involved over 50 different sized pieces with different lace patterns on each of them. </div>

I used a cut out template of my TNT dress pattern as I completed the pieces to make sure it would fit.<br />

The only fitting item I didn't take into account was the fact that most of the lace pieces are on the bias and it became quite long, thus the belt in some of the pics!</div>

I am going to Vogue Knitting Live in NY this weekend. It is a huge convention type gathering sponsored by my favorite magazine. I decided I just had to have this sweater featured in a recent edition. It was designed by Japan's Sanae Gunji and won first place in the contest sponsored by Vogue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nsH5Cc-ikXY/UtcFMuUwZ0I/AAAAAAAAB4k/sXnA9lw-dFk/s1600/jan14+022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_163618="null" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nsH5Cc-ikXY/UtcFMuUwZ0I/AAAAAAAAB4k/sXnA9lw-dFk/s1600/jan14+022.jpg" height="240" hua="true" width="320" /></a></div>
Here is the diagram of the front and back pieces. It is knitted like a big rectange and then the waist and sleeve bands and collar are added later. The whole thing is completely asymmetric, as you can see in this photo.<br />
<br />
I was afraid that it would not be long or wide enough so made a mockup of the pattern pieces out of a knit fabric, tried it on and was able to see where I needed to add inches (done in knitting with short rows and gauge changes). I am SO glad I was able to SEW a version first to get a good fit!<br />
<br />
It took me 2 weeks, working quite a few hours every day to finish it but I feel that it was well worth the effort and am looking forward to wearing it to the show.<br />
