Noro Magazine Issue 13: A Review
The thirteenth issue of Nuru magazine was published in autumn 2018. We will see. Note that for some reason this issue lists 11 template pages in Ravelry, and even out of those 11, five don't have images in their stylesheets, and one (#03, Rib Raglan) has two model pages, so I'm going Ravelry provides links to ten of the 36 models in this test.
No. 01, Paper Afghans. This is an interesting and unusual concept.
#02 Mosaic Poncho. Beautiful and effective.
#03 Raglan rib with trimmings. It is very attractive and wearable.
#04 Ribbed Sweater. It has some interesting lines. I'd like to see it from a different angle before signing it, but it looks like it could be a compelling one-off.
No. 05 diamond plate jacket. It's from the 70's but it's very wearable.
Striped Cardigan #06. very pretty.
No. 07, a hat with a diamond-shaped elastic band. Classic stripe and telegraph hat.
#08, Mittens. Nice pair of gloves. I find the soft gray tones of this yarn appealing.
#09, hood. I love the yarn used here.
No. 10, pillow. The color combination of these two pillowcases makes them stand out because technically they couldn't be simpler.
No. 11 triangular shawl with buttonhole. Good looking!
No. 12, scarf. friendly.
No. 13, Polka dot poncho. It's not bad in terms of design, but I think I'll use colors other than brown for this project because the brown yarn gives this coat an annoying resemblance to the poop emoji.
No. 14, Manush Rouen. Excellent stitching although the scarf is a bit heavy. I would be tempted to leave it on the sofa.
No. 15, poncho with fringes. Not bad for a coat and the embroidery is excellent.
No. 16, herringbone patterned envelope. Cute cute.
No. 17, Afghan great-grandmother. These colors make them attractive.
#18 Afghan Granny Blanket. I love this afghan concept with triangular blocks. It's a refreshing change from regular squares, and the resulting jagged edge is pretty steep.
No. 19, scarf with bow. Acceptable. I comforted him.
No. 20, snood. I'll calm that down too. Scarves should look like ties, not suspenders that are wrapped haphazardly around the wearer's neck.
No. 21, chrysanthemum shawl. It looks more like an afghan than a scarf, although it would be a nicer afghan.
No. 22, a flower from a flower bag. It's too complicated for my taste.
#23, a block of fabric for a sweater. not bad. Could be finished with waist and hem.
No. 24, knit sweater. Good looking.
No. 25, knit sweater. Correct slumped shoulders and correct the silhouette and this will be the perfect sweater.
No. 26, short jacket. I really like the baffles on the front, an interesting concept that fits this thread particularly well. I will correct sagging shoulders.
No. 27, oversized sweater. Some are overgrown and some are damaged. Guess which one. Shoulder seam to mid-sleeve, sigh. Dress it up and your turtleneck will be absolutely flattering.
#28 Oversized Braided Top. Too big and too low for the shoulder again, but other than that it's fine.
No. 29, transportation to the beach. It's more of a cute little bohemian bag.
No. 30, Grandma's square purse. I don't think there's anything you can do with a grandmother's apron to make it look so timeless and vulgar in clothes and accessories.
No. 31, tunic. A simple, high-waisted cardigan that would look better in other variations.
No. 32, jacket. This has to be my favorite #09 Cowl yarn and I still love it, but I will definitely make this fabric bigger.
No. 33, cardigan with collar. Nice jacket for every day.
No. 34, bra. Musty and gloomy.
#35, long jacket and hood. I wouldn't call it "long jacket and hood". I used to call it a caftan and then pull it out.
No. 36, jacket. I'm not a fan of those unstructured front-facing jackets, but this jacket isn't bad in its class.
