Noro Magazine Issue 14: A Review
Issue 14 of Noro magazine has been published . let's see, okay?
Pattern #01, Raglan sleeve corset. I like the color scheme; will increase the tempo significantly.
Pattern #02, Simple Ruana. The opening in the middle of a beach blanket is not a portable item.
Pattern #03, knitted skirt. This is one of those models that I thought would look good at first but I would eventually like it after learning more. This one definitely needs a pad, making it less wearable than an evening gown, but it would make a great beach blanket.
Pattern #04 Sleeveless Sweater. The color is a bit dull but the lines are good.
Pattern No. 05, dress with ruffles. I looked at the mesh body, flap pockets and frayed hem and I don't think they really belong in the same dress because they don't match at all. Pick the one you like least and the second of these three features (pro tip: one of them should be a cover in the pocket), clean up and let the third design element carry the dress.
Pattern No. 06, triangular shawl. It needs a bit of a limit because it looks like it's not finished yet.
Pattern #07, origami scarf. Nice envelope.
Pattern #08 Offset Cable Tee. A beautiful top, the style of which is not flattering - all the other details are just distracting. If I had to design an outfit around a noro cut, I'd let the noro article do the talking.
Model No. 09, T-shirt with pocket on the shoulder. Cute but wants to take off after loose.
Model #10 thinks above. Very beautiful.
Pattern No. 11, round yoke on top. Nothing bad. I'll extend it because very few women are flattered by it.
Pattern #12, Raglan Poncho. I'm a tough poncho seller but this one looks nice and fits well.
Pattern #13, honeycomb shell. Beautiful lines and stitches.
Pattern #14 Brioche T-shirt. I prefer the idea of an off-shoulder neckline and cuffs at the cuffs, but I'm going to make the cut a bit slimmer.
Pattern #15 Brioche Tank Top. I like the tires but they look very edgy because of the bodywork. This makes it bigger and elongates the body.
Pattern #16 Wrap Brioche. It came out really well. I'm going to do this with a color that doesn't look like wash water.
Pattern #17 Chevron Hood. She is so cute that she manages to visually stand out from the model's hat.
Model No. 18 modulates the clock. The wavy dots look more Afghan, but this one and the one above don't, perhaps because of their clever shape.
Pattern #19, Mosaic Chain. Nice color and stitching.
Model No. 20, cover with a lid. Attractive and contemporary.
Pattern #21, Striped Blanket in a row. Beautiful in a very neutral and understated way.
Pattern Number 22 Titled Blokserp. This one looks more than a little afghan.
Pattern No. 23, Toothed Stolette. This one looks a little awkward as she's trying in vain to look like a sweater wrapped around her shoulders and tied around the front of her arms.
Model No. 24, cap with leaf band. Beautiful!
Model No. 25, caplet with stand-up collar. Everything in this room is beautiful.
Pattern No. 26, Knitted Vest. good thread; undefined, even confusing style.
Pattern #27, Half Sleeve Corset. Attractive style and very effective.
Pattern #28 Sleeveless V-Neck Top I don't like the look of the neckline. It looks incomplete and a bit awkward.
Pattern No. 29 Blouses with Japanese sleeves. Funny in a classic way.
Model No. 30, buttonhole and belt loop. LOVE sewing. Fit will be clean.
Model No. 31, lace raglan sweater. Very decent portion.
