Love of Knitting has released their Spring 2017 issue. Let's have a look at it.
Bargello Socks. These are fun. I like that the designer took those stripes several extra steps by doing them a variety of ways.
Breezy Lace Tee. Very useful and wearable summer top.
Colorlines Throw. I'm loving this one, with its contemporary vibe and unusual but masterful colour combination.
Elephant Safari Children's Vest. Very cute.
Holmes Shawl. A lovely little piece with some quietly impressive stitchwork.
Interrupted Stripes Sweater. This looks sloppy, unfinished, and in general as though the "interrupted" in the design's name refers to the designer's efforts to finish this pattern.
Ironwood Shawl. A simple and attractive little wrap.
Painted Wrap. I quite like this unassuming but visually pleasing lace pattern.
Pearls Hat. Nice piece, and it would be a good way to use up some odds and ends of yarn.
Planting Cardigan. I like this piece over all, but I'm never much of a fan of cardigans designed to lie open in the front, as they generally look too small and/or unflattering.
Raving Stripes Pullover. I love this one. The flattering shape and and eye-catching striped yoke and cuffs add up to a striking look.
Shift Change Cowl. Oooh, pretty. Love the colours and the stitchwork.
Shoreline Shawl. Nice piece. It seems to drape well, and I'm loving the Celtic cabled border.
Spring Day Raglan. Way too sloppy and unfinished for my liking.
Spring Henley. Classic, handsome piece.
Springtime Mobile. So cute. That is an especially nicely rendered set of little toy animals.
Tuscany Wrap-Cardi. Not a bad little piece, and it would give the wearer a chance to show off a favourite shawl pin.
Valley V-neck Pullover. This is a smart little piece. I note that the neckband is not very well done -- it's puckering at the vee and is pulling the stripe up in the centre -- but if you are careful to make sure to pick up neither too few nor too many neckband stitches when you make your version, your project won't have that flaw.
Vines Swatch Cloth. Nice stitch.
Warm Stripes Set. The mitts are fine, but the legwarmers look a little too much like a scrap yarn project knitted on the fly.
