New Knitty and Emerging Talent

Posted on | September 14, 2007 | 3 Comments

By now I’m sure you all have seen the new Knitty (and what did you think?). I’m really enjoying this issue, as usual there is a variety of patterns and inspiration. I was a bit surprised in particular how much some of the accessories and socks are drawing my interest (perhaps it’s my current very divided knitting attention span!). Not there aren’t some lovely sweaters, mind you. I am smitten with a couple small-er projects in particular, and wanted to take a moment to call your attention to these two talented emerging designers (yes, there could be a slight bias there, but I really think you’ll like them too!):

Emilee, of Emilee Knits, whose lovely Foliage hats have me doing cartwheels! I was fortunate to hear a bit about these in advance and it was enough to make me long for the new Knitty so I could make up one of my own. I have some fall-ish yarn in the stash that has just been waiting for the right hat – this is just perfect!

Kathryn, who has both newly acquired sheep and blog (hurray and hurray!), presents Cinderella, a crafty sock of unusual construction. Now that I finally got have the whole sock thing figured out, here’s yet another new & fun thing for me to learn – and not such tiny yarn, Thank you Kathryn!

Damn. My knitting to-do list just got longer. Good thing these ARE small ;)
