Noro Magazine Issue 11: A Review
In today's article, we will take a look at the 11th issue of Nuru magazine . Before anyone clarifies that this is a Fall/Winter 2017 release, yes, I'm a little late moving into this review as I ignored my blog posts, but better late than never and I almost find myself piling up from checking now.
Style 01 faux double button cardigan. I prefer this one. As we can see from the pattern here, it would make a great cold weather top coat. I can't help but think it would be more useful with long sleeves, but if you extend your sleeves make sure the sleeves are a little narrower.
Pattern 02 plaid cocoon cardigan. I thought it would make me feel like I was holding a hammock.
03 diamond texture card templates. Another beautiful top. I love the retro feel of the cut and texture of the beautiful diamond pattern.
Style 04, A-line silhouette cardigan. I love the sleeves and bodice on this one, but the hips have a lot of added material. This tall and slim model really took all the effort to make it work and it still fails.
Style 05, cardi elbow length. Very wear. I'm not a big fan of the open button front, but this jacket fits perfectly.
Long cardigan style 06 in rowan style. This shirt is so big that it looks more like a cardigan than a cardigan, but it also matches the yarn nicely.
Style No.07, Diamond Design Shawl. Very interesting scarf and this is definitely an article on how to design a Nuru.
Pattern No. 08 Marble Cover. Attractive texture and color of this hat.
Style 09 Brioche / Hood. A beautiful hat that is simple but not boring. The colors are very attractive.
Model 10, unlimited hood. I love sewing this. This is a great choice for this yarn.
Pattern 11, star quilt. Very beautiful and funny.
Model No. 12, coverall with fringe. The shape is like a rug with a hole in the middle.
Style 13 striped suit. I like the threads in it, but the design makes it look like a sticky bath rug.
Model No. 14, poncho with fringe. This is a slit rug.
Pattern 15, diaper and cuffs. I like the abaya, but not the cuffs and not the abaya and cuff combination. If you needed to keep your chest and arms warm, wouldn't you just wear a jacket?
Pattern No. 16, close with one button. Simple and portable.
Pattern No. 17, Rowan Kimono. It looks like an Afghan. Call me old-fashioned, but I strongly believe that designing clothes should look like clothes , approach and please their owners , and not look like something that would look better on a couch or on a couch floor.
Pattern 18, jacket with origami collar. The collar is individually knitted and I love the concept of a matching hood with a jacket that can be worn together or separately. I like the collar and jacket. The hood has an interesting architectural look, and the stitching of this jacket is great.
Style #19, oversized jacket. I like part of the jacket, but not most of it.
Model No. 20 is decorated with a rope from above. I like the overall design - these circles look interesting - but then again, it would be even more interesting if they matched . Models tilt back to hang all the extra knitting, and how often do you stand like that in real life?
Pattern No. 21, jacket. I like the yarn used here, but not the design. The jacket looks tattered and patchy, like a starter project, and the leather detailing looks tattered.
Style 22 V-neck cardigan This isn't scary, but it's not cool either. It doesn't look right, and while this slanted design creates an interesting effect in terms of turning the yarn 90 degrees towards the strip, the stitching itself is unattractive and uncomfortable.
#23 style pencil skirt. I love this and will wear it like this, with a simple solid color jacket and matching long socks because the skirt itself has all the visuals an outfit needs.
Pattern 24, V-neck sweater. I like the thread, it looks like Monet's drawing with water lilies, but I'll fix the sagging shoulders and explain the pattern - or just choose another, more elaborate sweater pattern.
Pattern 25, poncho. This is another great piece, but this one actually has enough shape to put it together nicely.
Style No. 26, sleeveless jacket. It has great detail - I love this wrapping effect on the neckline, striped edges, seam lines on the front and pockets, but I greatly enhanced the fit. This is the part that should be roomy, but I prefer to aim for a larger size than the owner needs, and I'm going to make these armholes much smaller.
Motif 27, bracelet with conch stitch. These crochet "wrist" are actually quite interesting in terms of design, the crochet flower effect contrasts with the ribs, but I can't help but wish they were part of the sweater.
Model No. 28 Short Row Scarf. Very attractive scarf. The color scheme and presentation combine well.
Square cardigan style #29. It's very nice and very well shaped, but I thought I'd add two more buttons at the top because they seem to "nearly merge" with just one button.
Style 30 oblique mini skirt. This skirt looks like a "Savior Afghani" and, even worse, looks like it's made of unsalvageable Afghani.
Style 31, asymmetrical cardigan. It has good detail, and the design looks good, but I doubt the body lines are not seeing properly in this photo.
Cardigan sweater style 32. In general, the design is attractive, but I would worry about the approach.
Pattern of 33 plaid striped hats. nice hat. The thread is beautiful with softness.
Style 34 oversized asymmetrical cardigan. Oh man. The cut, the low hem, the depth of the armholes...the collar and thread are attractive, but the look and condition require a thorough review.
Model number 35 simple cardigan sweater. When it comes to "simple" as a style description, it should just point out that there isn't a lot of detail, not that the designer didn't put in enough effort to create a necklace that looks good and fits.
Rib and button style #36. Beautiful stitching and thread, but this jacket needs a chic finish on the neckline, hem, sleeves and front hem.
Model No. 37, striped scarf. You can't go wrong with a classic ribbed scarf, and it's a great way to display pretty, colorful yarn.
Model No. 38, side cover. I like the thread used in this hat, but I don't like the shape and it's not straight. If I wore this, I would think my name is Tabiti or Vivo or Jinx and have to live in a tree and make biscuits for a living.
The model 39 V-neck sweater isn't bad. Nothing fancy, but sits, has decent shape and is wearable.
Style #40, comfortable caprice. This behavior reminds me of the episode Six Feet Under where teenage girl Claire and her best friend Parker try to use magic mushrooms and sew while drunk. Sour Claire, always sentimental when rock drunk, usually embroidered pants with crazy fabric hem and gave them to her mother Ruth with hugs and declarations of love. Ruth, who had always appreciated the slightest bit of affection from her children, proudly wore her culottes the next day, which only added to the agony her daughter's drunkenness had caused. However, with the same love I remember in this scene... I wouldn't have made or worn this caprese if I hadn't been killed by magic mushrooms or something.
