Knitter's Magazine has released issue 122. Let's have a look at it.
Coral Camo. This is so bathmat, and not even in a good "serene luxury spa" kind of way, but rather in a "let's match this to the toilet paper cosy" kind of way.
Seafoam & Coral Top. This is rather fetching. I'm liking the seashell colourway, the varied stitchwork, and the summery airiness of it.
Seafoam & Coral Skirt. I like this a lot too. The side panel with the vertical stripes is what makes this design. And I would never have thought of putting the top above with this skirt, but they do work very well together.
Fresh Lilac. Very pretty! It looks well from both front and back and will make a very useful summer topper.
Water & Waves. Such beautiful lacework in this.
Little Linen Patches. Another nice one. The linen stitch checks made for an attractive and interesting effect.
Sprouts in Spring. Very pretty cardigan. This is a good design for showcasing a beautiful yarn, and indeed, the handpainted yarn used here is lovely.
Seaglass Stripes. Some good lines and texture in this one.
Pressed Petals. Quite nice. The leaf detail shown in the background photo is from the back.
Basalt Bands. I have a weakness for this kind of textured jacket, and this one is really kind of fabulous. The intricate stitchwork is really impressive. The peplum won't be flattering on every woman, but this is a great piece.
Bark & Branches. Big needle knits aren't usually my thing, but I like this one. It sits so well and has great texture.
Woodland Sunset. I'm not entirely sold on the extra bulk at the shoulders of this one, but the lines are good overall and I like the yarn.
Garden Walk. Not bad, though I would go for a neater fit.
Flippy Ribs. Cute and sporty.
Monarch Stripes. So the monarch butterflies are dying in record numbers and you offer them the final insult of this badly shaped and retina-searing vest, and even put it on the cover? Why, Knitter's Magazine? Why?
Technicolor Plaid Shawl. Very attractive and fun wrap.
Technicolor Plaid Blanket. Fabulous! The stitchwork is excellent and those colours are a feast for the eyes.
