Piecework Summer 2023

I like to feature the projects with full directions contained in this issue although there are multiple historical and contemporary articles that offer inspiration as well.

The cover project with the dragons in cross-stitch is a linen pin-cushion created by Deanna Hall West based on a 1885 needlework book which had me thinking what we really need is to put some dragons on sweaters.

The 1909 Lady’s Mitts in lilac are a re-working of a pattern from Weldon’s Practical Knitter by Liz Stewart using size 2 needles and Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk a mix of merino and silk. Although they did not have cell phones to play with, they did need their fingers free yet warmed.

The cream colored square with the puffy set of leaves was inspired by the novel Anne of Green Gables, the story of a spunky orphan, and an 1871 book of patterns for knitted counterpanes, or bedspreads. This is such a daunting task that Joyce Noverr who reworked the pattern, suggests you ponder a throw, a pillow, or even a pin cushion instead.

The tiny bird with the black bead for an eye is a first project in bobbin lace created by Karen H. Thompson from DMC Perle Cotton size 8. This accompanies an article by Evelyn McMillan on far more elaborate lace projects which depicted mythical stories, and there is another on applique embroidery upon netting--called Swiss embroidery, for some reason by Karin J. Bohleke.

The cover story on Aran sweaters, the heavily cabled versions we know today, explains how no one wore such a thing in Ireland before the mid-20th century, which makes them what historians call an invented tradition. Invented, in this case, in order to create a mythic story about how old and symbolic the stitch patterns were so as to sell more sweaters! Suffragettes knitting are another topic and so are thimbles, plus there is more.

Just finished up "summer" on my size 3 bag! Yeah, I fell behind. :( But it's coming along well even if it is more slowly than I hoped for. I think this is going to be a nice size, too. It's always different to actually hold it and see it and wear it than it is to just imagine its size by numbers! #hellosummerbeachbagcal #hellosummerbeachbag #cascadeyarns #hampton https://www.instagram.com/p/ChsjHQvP4fg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hot off the needles: Inclinations Cowl, by Andrea Mowry, knit in Cascade Heritage Wave. One skein each of 504 Nightshade, and 514 Roses. A bit too toasty to wear it now, but it will be cozy this winter. #inclinationscowl #knitlife #fvkguild #cowl #cowlknitting #dreareneeknits #andreamowry #cascadeheritagewave #cascadeyarns #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #purpleandred #knitknitknit https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIngvqJxwA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Subtle” stranded knitting? The more solid tones here form the motifs against a backdrop of highly speckled yarn, adding a little something extra to the look.

This motif is “Barbs” from @andrearangelknits #knitovationstitchdictionary and the yarns are: Speckled: @cascadeyarns Blue & purple: @malabrigoyarn Cream: @berrocoyarn

These yarns are allsuperwash wools and knit up together beautifully, even though from different companies. This is my 59th hat for this year’s @hatsforsailors !

(By the way, it might be harder to see in this iteration, but the Barbs motif reminds me of Sea Serpents — check out the book to see for yourself!)

From the bottom light blue (disregard the black, I am going to outline the whole thing in black so I started with a black foundation row) to the light purple at the top, nearly done two months of 2023😌 colours are based on an average of the high and low temperatures that day. (So far the colours have been: white is the coldest, -25 and colder, light purple is -24.5 to -20.5, dark purple is -20 to -16, dark blue is -15.5 to -11.5 and light blue is -11 to -7. I have an even lighter blue but it hasn’t been any warmer than -8.5….. yet.) #crafty #craft #crochet #temperatureblanket #temperatureblanket2023 #yarncanada @yarncanada @cascadeyarns #100percentwool #220superwash #homesteadlife (at Dawson, Yukon Territory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpI5k3DvsxJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Garden grown zinnia & this beautiful elysian yarn (from @cascadeyarns, hi) I ~love~ to crochet, but struggle to plan, so it’s currently a big ole square, potentially an envelope style bag, we may never know 🎉

Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2023

This issue has you ready for warmer days with no-sleeve and short sleeve looks. The most playful is the Popsicle by Mari Lynn Patrick who calls it a quick knit although it is a 3 out of 4 for difficulty. It has asymmetrical shoulders and ribbing through the body. It is done up in Anzula Vera which is a sport-weight yarn made of silk and linen, and that lovely rosy color is called Blush.

My favorite because of its vintage look is the eyelet patterns Campanula by Deborah Newton, a fitted polo collared pullover done in a taupe. 3 out of 4 for difficulty, it is done up in Skacel ALB Lino, also a sport-weight yarn and made of a blend of wool and linen.

A section of paired sweaters--one simple one dolled-up--gives us the strapped v-neck called The Artist by Melissa Leapman that is a 2 out of 4 for difficulty. It uses Blue Sky Fibers Skinny, a worsted weight cotton yarn and appears opposite a plain v-neck also by Leapman. Similarly, the ruffled sleeves on a charcoal grey, crewneck pullover accompany a plain crewneck. The ruffled version is called The Muse, and is 2 out of 4 for difficulty. It is made in Berroco Luca yarn, a worsted weight cashmere and cotton blend, and both are by Norah Gaughan.

Vista is the cream-colored tunic is by Lavinia Voiculescu in Cascade Hampton which is a DK-weight yarn in a blend of cotton and linen. Although the eyelet pattern makes it look complicated, the shape is very simple and the difficulty is only 2 out of 4.

Lastly, on the cover is The Dancer by Donna Estin which is made up of a boucle yarn, hence all the appealing texture, The yarn is called Curiosity by African Expressions which is blended wool, polyamide and mohair which is also a DK weight yarn and the pretty blue color is #9112. The sweater is a 2 out of 4 for difficulty.

In addition to interviews, and columns on new books, new yarns, new products, Meg Swansen shares some knitting tips from her mother Elizabeth Zimmerman.

You can find it at your local yarn store or online here: https://www.vogueknitting.com/

Diving into that filet crochet for the sides of my size 3 sample bag! I'm excited to see how the lettering shows up in the ecru compared to the green. Should be an interesting comparison!

Nothing like a relaxing bath to bring out the best in you — the same is true for your finished knitting project

Hat number… I think I’ve lost count… it’s over 50 for this year’s @hatsforsailors project, a cushy, squishy stranded colorwork hat incorporating @andrearangelknits’ Fortify motif from the #alterknitstitchdictionary, combining a solid black @berrocoyarn #ultrawool with a speckled worsted from @cascadeyarns
