Creative Knitting has released its Winter 2018 issue. Let's have a look at it, shall we?
Beall Pullover. Attractive and wearable. I do like a detailed cuff.
McDowell Cardigan. Drape-front cardigans can be problematic, but this one sits well and even has a certain relaxed elegance.
Spiced Pear Tea Cardigan. Classic cabled cardigan.
Stopher Tunic. There's some exceptional cable work on this one. It's like a sampler of different patterns, and it works together as a whole.
Allyn Vest. Not a bad little topper.
Dunbar Pullover. I quite like this one, which is something a bit different with its faux wrap effect at the cuffs and hemline.
Kenyon Pullover. This one has some good shaping and nice detailing, and the collar sits well.
VanCampen Cardigan. A wearable, contemporary piece.
Earl Grey Hat & Scarf. An attractive hat and scarf set with a telling bit of detail that will go with nearly any coat.
Koonce Pillow & Throw. This is a rather smart effect. The combination of the cushion and afghan really makes it.
Manchester Throw. The stitchwork appears to be good, but the yarn used in this project is doing it no favours. The colourway is so muddy and muddled it's hard to even see the design.
Olentangy Shawl. Not a bad little wrap.
Plum Berry Blanket & Pillow. Nice blanket and pillow, but I think I would do something different with the cushion to tie it to the blanket a bit better. If I wanted it in plain gray, I would make it in garter stitch, and if I felt like using the plum and gray I'd do it in the two-tone stitch used in the centre of the blanket. Alternating strips of both patterns might be a nice option as well.
Engelman Hat. This is rather sharp.
Fletcher Tam. This is a very nice piece, although I wish I could see the pattern on the top of the hat better.
Leebrick Hat. Cute hat!
Verder Hat. Not half bad.
