Pom Pom Quarterly has released its Spring 2015 issue. Let's have a look at it, shall we?
Vitsippa Hat. Nice work! This design would be effective in any number of colourways.
Tambourine cardigan. This is a nice piece as well, with a certain vintage charm. The cropped length won't work on every woman, but that's easily remedied.
Swedish Pancakes mitts. Attractive and polished. They'd look good in any colourway, but this old rose is very pretty indeed.
Mysa tunic. I'm on the fence about this one. It has a clever construction and some visual interest, but it does come across as a little on the frumpy side. It's not doing this model any favours. I'd consider neatening up the fit a bit.
Mångata pullover. Nice texture and love the striped edgings, but the cropped, boxy shaping of this is going to be hellishly unflattering on most women. I'd do a reshaping and also skip the top stitched triangle at the neck, which looks like an unwise afterthought.
Lysende top. Another one for the "frumpy and dumpy" category. This looks like something one of the Golden Girls would have worn.
Lus top. There isn't a really clear shot of this piece available either in the preview or on Ravelry, but I've got my doubts about how well this sits around the torso. However, it has its good points (i.e., the sleeve detailing, the neckline, the second colour stitch pattern), and, as long as it isn't baggy or boxy or cropped, could be a young, fetching style.
Fika socks. These are on the plain side, but they'll do perfectly well. Not all of us want elaborately detailed socks.
Elske socks. How cute are these? If your answer is something along the lines of "verging on adorable", then you like these socks approximately as much as I do.
Blommande shawl. Pretty little thing, as lace shawls tend to be.
