The Fall 2007 Interweave Knits preview is up. I just have to say, "Wow." It looks to be the best issue I've seen in the last couple of years. I have never seen so many items that I want to knit in a single magazine.



Here are some of my favorites:


Eunny Jang's Tangled Yoke Cardigan









Her attention to detail is incredible. The ribbed neckline hem is the sort of touch that elevates her designs beyond the standard fare.


The Dickinson Pullover by Kathy Zimmerman








It is classic and beautiful. All of those cables will make a fun and challenging knit for anyone who likes traditional elegance.



The Tilted Duster by Norah Gaughan








This looks modern, clean, and very flattering.





Kate Gilbert's Cinnabar Pullover






I really like the simplicity of this garment. I think it would look great with a contrasting color at the hem and at the collar. How about a colorwork pattern for the body with a solid contrast at the hems and collar. My mind is churning with possibilities.





The Cobblestone Pullover by Jared Flood.






Jared, otherwise known as Brooklyn Tweed, sure does know his way around garter stitch. He seems to have an unlimited ability to turn that simple stitch into a thing of beauty.





The Mirapoix Bodice by Mary Jane Mucklestone







Yay, another chance to delve into fairisle in a modern way. Very nice.





Bryant's Slipover by Jennifer Lang






Flattering and feminine in a sleek and contemporary way.





What's especially good about this issue is that it has such a variety of patterns. It has 5 cardigans, 7 pullovers, 3 vests, 3 hats, 2 scarves, 2 dresses, one pair of mitts, and 7 socks.


5 of the patterns have cablework (not including the socks), 4 fairisle, 3 lace, and one looks like a slipstitch pattern. There is something for everyone.

JenLa described the cover sweater as a Giant Purple Vagina and now I can never look at it again with a straight face. But it's pretty cool looking! I hadn't taken a look at the bonus pics yet of some of those so the tangled cabled one really just now caught my eye. Niiiiice.

Thanks for the image. Now if I ever see anyone wearing it, I will be hard pressed to keep a staight face.
