Knitscene Fall 2018: A Review

Knitscene has released its Fall 2018 release. Let's take a look at that, okay?





French sweater. Not bad. Medium braids on the sleeves give the classic knit sweater a modern twist.





Felicity sweaters. Candy. I like to include lace in the knitting pattern.





Greta cardigan. Another nice modern wicker cardigan, but I would trade the plain skirt. There is nothing modern or cool about mullet.





Lucia sweaters. I like the art deco style of this section with detailed curls and cuffs, but would like to straighten up the slouch shoulders.





Olivia sweaters. Extremely smart and brilliant.





Susy cardigan. It is really attractive and comfortable with an interesting cable detail in the back. I'm thinking of fixing one myself.





Natalie sweater. The designer tried to incorporate some asymmetry into this product, but did not achieve the balance required by the asymmetry. One arm is tied with a braid and the other is plain, and with all the braid details on the lower two-thirds of the body, it feels like a heavy, unbalanced butt.





Eleanor Mitens. They look so big and uncomfortable that they are more like oven mitts than cold mitts.





Wendy Cole. Candy. Graphically, it is a striking example.





Margot Haut. To be fair, this seems like a long-term frugal store issue that an editor decided to include (and more loosely do in outerwear) because he didn't hit the design quota for the issue.





Kate Cardigan. He looks charming, fun and young. Beautiful game of shapes and colors.





Ingrid West. This would be a useful coat for fall. And if you choose a bright color like this, it's a way to brighten the wearer's day.





Aqata shall. Very nice embroidery on it. It's like art printing.





Beatrice sweaters. I love the concept of the lace panel, but the lace detail doesn't hang below the edge of the sweater body. This looks like a bug. I would make it so that the edges of the sweater are even.





Elena Col. There is some really eye-catching embroidery here, and I love the combination of turquoise and copper.





(At least as of the time this post was written, there is no Ravelry page for this cover or the next three pages.) I like this page, which looks like a view of the sea.





I also like it with a simple but effective checkpoint.





A garter-stitched hood is a great way to demonstrate self-winding yarn.





I love the combination of turquoise, lime, and white, as well as the garter stitch and knit fabric. They reject each other.





Claire sweaters. Some beautiful details and the shape of this yoke is perfect.
