Deep Fall 2014 Issue Projects

I’ve loved Opus The Octopus from the first moment I saw the pattern, and Spiral420′s project is exactly how mine would look if I’d had a chance to cast on… a Noro-underbelly!

The Brindled hat is a Woolly Wormhead classic – wearable and classic but with a nice stylistic twist. I love indigonightowl’s color choice for her project.

 

The Krydda sweater is a winner – elegant and beautiful and quick to knit. Nephele has chosen a wonderful color, and it’s coming along well. Can’t wait to see it grow!

 

Twist Again is a terrific shawl – super for handspun, but just as good in commercial yarn, too. A not-too-challenging but entirely beautiful project. Ando has chosen a perfect color of handspun alpaca for hers…

 

The Nachfalter fingerless mitts are exactly what you need as the seasons change – fast and fun and warming without feeling too wintery.

Katdriver‘s third pair are green, and she’s already working on a fourth… oh, to be on her holiday gift list!

And Gusto is another must-knit early fall accessory – not just because the result is beautiful… Look at Sonnydays‘ project

 but also because of the fun in making your own “magic ball” from sock yarn leftovers.

I adore how Sherinik’s Apiculturist crochet/knit combo scarf is coming along… the photo shows the difference in the motifs before and after blocking. (Yes, blocking *is* important!)
