Pom Pom Quarterly Winter 2019: A Review

Pom Pom Quarterly released the winter 2019 issue . Let's take a look at this, okay?





Acorn. The design is made in the style of the 80s, although the color scheme is quite modern. I would not do this particular project in fuchsia, royal blue and turquoise. Come to think of it, I wouldn't do projects in fuchsia, royal blue and turquoise.





The street. It's a decent enough design for a neutral sweater that, say, a woman might wear to the office on cold days. It's neutral and easy to apply, but it also has some texture so it's not too light.





With wings. I love the texture of this cap.





Earring. I don't really like everyday colors, but the shape is nice, so if you're into modern knitting art, this project might be for you. However, I definitely recommend working with contrasting patches of color that don't seem as far away as the wearer's skin tone, as this can create an unwanted visual effect. I took a double photo when I first looked at this photo.





Isometric. Another beautiful hat.





Mafadi. Good use of brioche and reverse shaved stitch here. It's interesting and sophisticated, but neutral.





South. Beautiful seams and stitching in mohair look luxurious (as mohair always does), but the semi-circular neckline and small shoulders give it a slightly sloping look.





Tellervo. Very worthy classic cardigan with braids.





Terraform. It's so sweet that maybe one day I'll have to do something for myself.





earth water Delicious piece! It's hard to go wrong with the round yoke design. I would stretch the sleeves as far as possible, but this is a personal preference as I find short sleeves uncomfortable and unflattering.
