Vogue Knitting/Designer Knitting Fall 2011.

Masterpiece Classics:

The Art of Lace:
Aristocratic in pedigree, our lace pieces are the portrait of today’s elegant woman.
Anything But Your Basic Cable:
Green is this season’s cable ready color.
All About Ease:
Relaxed, oversized knits take you from work to weekend.
Stripe It Right:
Count on Twinkle to marry the casual nature of banded knits with her signature 7th Avenue silhouette.
What You Want Now!:
Accessories may seem small, but fabulous details make them mighty, indeed.

"We love our Early Fall issue, mainly because so many of the garments we feature are season spanning—sweaters with looser silhouettes and shorter sleeves, most of them in lighterweight yarns, as well as layering pieces. Don’t be limited by what you see on the page, though. We encourage you to make your own design modifications based on your personal preferences and geographic location. If you prefer longer sleeves, add them. Warmer yarns? By all means choose a wool, alpaca or cashmere over a cotton-and-wool blend. This is your knitting, so feel free to personalize it to create a garment you will love for years to come."
