Tear Sheets


This is something I still do, left over from my days as a photo stylist. I find an image that inspires me in a magazine, and I tear out the page. The September 2006 issue of Elle magazine was in a lounge at one of my work sites, and the knitwear pictured captured me. I especially love the Pringle of Scotland cardigan in the lower left. I want to make it! But, I can't quite wrap my head around how to do a horizontal cable panel with that shaping to make a yoke. There has to be a pattern out there that has something like that. I need help!

This weekend's activity is a workshop with Susanna Hanson. Bohus Stickning tomorrow. I knit on size 0 or smaller needles. Could I endure a sweater knit with a gauge that fine? Should be interesting!

i think i can help you out. Artyarns has a design like this, it's pattern I112 on their site. Not sure how you buy the patterns, though. Also, I think there was a similar design in the Holiday 2006 issue of Vogue Knitting. Have fun at the Bohus workshop!
