Vogue Knitting Late Winter 2020: A Review
Vogue Knitting has published the magazine's Late Winter 2020 issue . Let's take a look, okay?
#01, layered patches. When I saw a preview of this design on VKontakte, I thought how similar it is to the Caffe Fassett pattern. And then when I looked at the Ravelry page, I discovered that it was indeed the work of Caffe Fassett. Its aesthetic is as unique as a fingerprint. The quilt design is an interesting knit direction and the color palette is beautiful as always.
#02, Sunday brunch. A very good item for every day. The neck fits well.
#03, Tea time. The cardigan is fine, but I don't know what I think of the combination of the (taped) collar and the standard V-neck cardigan. It seems a little silly to me, but it's a new look, and sometimes I get soft (or tired) of a new look that I initially didn't like once I got used to it.
#04 Snack time. I don't have to give up on this look, I love it and will wear it myself. This reminds me of Joan Holloway's quote from 1960: "Men love scarves." (For the record, I don't think men find scarves particularly attractive to women and that 15 or 20 years later a more liberated Joan Holloway Harris would say: " I like scarves.")
N°05, striped sweater. This is an interesting and elegant modern look. While I tend to simplify the fit/shape of the design, I wouldn't do it in this case because I think this design calls for free form and geometric lines.
Nº 06, Fluorescent Flow. It borders Afghan territory, but I think it stays within the area of wearing clothes. I like how they styled it.
#07, ring forest. Classic open cardigan.
#08, Popsicles. I like the tartan pattern but it would straighten up my slumped shoulders. I'm not a big fan of color, but few knitters use color/yarn patterns. Part of the fun of knitting your own pieces is picking the colors you like .
No. 09, vibrations. Not bad. I won't suggest fixing the sagging shoulders because I think brioche stitch lines will suffice in this case, but I would suggest a new color scheme as this one burns the retina a bit.
#10, geodes. Very similar to this one, with a bright abstract flirty detail.
No. 11, Gamine. Comfortable sweater to take home.
No. 12, Kyoto. This sweatshirt is actually a beautiful knit pattern. Of course it looks better with the lining than with the deflated inner tub, but I used this photo so you can see the embroidery.
No. 15, Lady Susan. This necklace is beautiful on its own, but I don't know how to wear it. I don't like the way it's laid out here. I think a crew neck sweater would look better with this collar.
No. 16, Wentworth. With the latest design (Lady Susan) we enter the category of Jane Austen design, where aesthetic becomes antique. The embroidery on this cape is fantastic and adds a touch of vintage drama to a classic outfit.
No. 17, Miss Bingley. This looks like one of the smaller patterns in Knit Simple . Poor Caroline Bingley not only failed to convince Mr Darcy, she has to endure it.
No. 18, Morland. I like that. It's beautiful and practical.
A neutral lace team turtleneck. This is an "archived" design originally published in a special issue of a men's magazine in 2002. This is classic men's fashion.
Wire Mesh Another reissue, this time of the 1986 Christmas edition. It has aged similarly to the previous copy, that is, not quite. But then this men's fashion is made for you.
