winter ‘05 knitty

The new knitty is up . . . I’m going to check it out . . .

. . . ok, I’m back. I think I must be getting old, or I’m just not hip enough . . .

The Toasty Pocket Creatures are adorable and I think Daughter would love them.

Bamboozelle would make a nice gift filled with potpourri or something.

Namaste has a very interesting all over pattern, but I have no use for a yoga mat bag, could be made shorter and used a s a small drawstring bag instead.

Forecast is interesting, but would look beyond horrible on me. Though I’m not sure I like all that garterstitch.

When I saw the name Tubey, I was afraid to look. My worst trailer park nightmares came to mind, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really like the construction on this sweater, it would look like drek on me, but I think I have to find someone to knit it for . . . like my SIL . . . she is tall and slim and I think it would look nice on her.

Bristow is a very nice classic cardigan. I like this one.

Bobblicious . . . umm . . . hell no.

I like my cables to be less random, but I could see using the all over cable pattern from Namaste on Chaos.

Pomatomus and Thuja . . . cool socks, what more is there to say?

Marley’s Ghost . . . umm . . . no.

A Real Stocking Cap, ok, I get the joke, ha ha, but I just don’t see people really wearing it. The designer said she was on “good drugs” after surgery when she thought of it . . . I believe her.

I love Mrs. Beeton, so pretty. I must make these.

Although I like several of the patterns in this knitty, I don’t know that I will knit more than one or two of them.
