Cast On Fall 2018: A Review
Cast On has released the Fall 2018 issue. Let's see, right?
Austrian travel hat. A classic spinner hat.
A traditional sweater for newborns and big boys. Overall pretty decent but would definitely fix those shoulders.
Knitted frame cardigan. The lattice waist of this design is not very interesting. She looks uncomfortable. I would reduce the depth of this, just cut it sitting on my wrists. There is enough detail to carry this design.
Bavarian Column Socks. These are the best socks I have seen in a long time.
Bavarian design hat. Cover with very attractive wires. Although it scares me a little, because it seems to be inspired by the Headless Horseman.
Birch sweater. I don't really like it, but there are changes that will help. I'd straighten up the slouch, or maybe go for a more finished edge, since I wouldn't use white, cream, or any other pale shades for the main color of this design. In my experience, adding color to a pale background never works, as swimmers always prove, as you can see here.
Tunic for bird lovers. It's a big job, if not a big job, as it is knitting lace thread on size 0 needles. The shoulders are slightly lower, but they wouldn't fit me as I think they work in proportion to this particular design.
modern happiness. I'm not too keen on the color scheme here, but it's a good traditional design that can easily be done with a more attractive striped color or even a solid color.
Cowl Three Ways is also a headband. These pieces have a very nice texture.
Evora. Oooh, it's beautiful, nice to wear. The bodysuit is double knitted to be opaque, the sleeves are sheer, and the slightly elegant lace on the fringes gives it a gorgeous look. I think I just have to do it myself.
cellular sweater. Some beautiful stitches on this, which definitely deserves better color than this little pipette.
Reverse Twisted Scarf Sleight of Hand. Nice cable job on this.
Loud sweater. I like the details and side details, but I would have preferred the neckline used here.
Golf Club Covers for Morro Bay They are very well made, any golf club that has such a collection is easily the best dressed in town.
Orbit. It looks very well understated.
Patrick's vest. I love to sew this.
Triple effect sweater. Overall a good job. I have no idea what to do with the striped effect in the middle, but I'd still remove it because it looks weird.
Tulip Garden felt hat. Nice shape, but are these specimens more like radishes than tulips?
Marshmallows. Beautiful classic cardigan.
Zigzag sweater. I have to give this carefully "not bad" since I see so little.
