Interweave Fall Preview : First impressions

I checked the new IK Fall preview here : http://www.interweaveknits.com/preview/2007_fall.asp . I actually like quite a few of the sweaters. The last few issues didn't grab me all that much, but I still like reading them. Here are my thoughts on the projects. Really no insult ment to the designers of any pattern I didn't like. I love that there are designs out there for everybody. I am quite unoriginal when it comes to fashion!

  • Hedgerow Coat : Beautiful, probably crazy difficult to knit. I'm not sure it would flatter my shape.
  • Placed Cable Aran : Beautiful, I might knit this
  • Dickinson Pullover : Not for me
  • Tangled Yoke : Damn near perfect! I WILL knit this for sure
  • Tyrolean Socks : Quite cute
  • Concentric Vest : cannot see enough of it to know
  • Snowball Hat : I love it, maybe with a smaller pompom
  • Tilted Duster : I don't know! I'll have to see it on other people before I make up my mind.
  • Minimalist Cardigan : Lovely! Maybe I'll knit this for my Grandma's 80th birthday
  • Counterpane Pullover : AMAZING! I will knit this
  • Nomad hat and scarf : Practical, but not for me
  • Cinnabar Pullover : another winner. Classic and unusual
  • Elfin hat and scarf : Not for me
  • Leavened Raglan : Quite cute, but maybe not flattering for me
  • Belle Cardigan : Yarn this bulky doesn't flatter me
  • Luna Dress : Cute, but not for me
  • Red Dress : Idem
  • Cobblestone Pullover : Maybe. The boyfriend is really particular about clothes. I am still looking for the perfect sweater to knit for him.
  • Snowflake Socks : Lovely, love the blue
  • Sweetheart Vest : I like this, maybe a little shorter and different colors
  • Composed Mitts : SO not for me!
  • Mirepoix : I don't like this on the model, maybe on someone else.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this. I'll read it on vacation, in 2 weeks. We are heading to British Columbia, my first time there
