Piecework has released their Fall 2019 issue. Let's have a look at it, shall we?
Brocade Vestment. This originally appeared in Interweave's Unofficial Downton Abbey Knits issue, which I reviewed here. I agree with my 2013 review of this item. This is a beautiful piece of work, but isn't all that well-styled. I'd either reshape this vestment so that it could be worn on its own, or make a special dress to wear with it.
Half-Day Off Mitts. These also appeared in the Downton Abbey issue, and I called them nice and wearable. The me of today agrees with 2013 me.
Lace-Leaf Pocket Cardigan. This design is from the second Downton Abbey issue, which was published in 2014. When I reviewed it, I said this cardigan had pretty detailing but looked too small on the wearer.
Magpie Gloves to Knit. These are attractive in a smart way. If I were making these, I'd be inclined to whip up a matching hat or scarf.
Swedish Nostalgia Shawl to Knit. I like the sampler feel of this one.
Valentina's Shawl to Knit. This one is delightfully quaint as well as a fine piece of lacework.
Weldon’s French Trellis Shawl to Knit. Another lovely lace shawl.
I agree with your comments about Lace Leaf Pocket Cardigan. I intend making it, but with fronts that close and sleeves that fit to the wrist. Not the designer's intent, but much more wearable for me, at least. And pockets!!
