Denial & The Contemplation of Something Totally Out of the Realm of Normalcy...
I do think I'm having a time of denial and foot-dragging to get thru this move...but when I took a few moments last night to "veg" after a full day of packing and running things over to the new place (7 trips this weekend with the Forester packed!)...well I picked up the new IK.
And what did I find that took my breath away?
This:
oh...and the back view:
(I surely hope IK will forgive my posting of their gorgeous photos...but if you haven't seen this, I think it just might sell a few magazines for them by my posting them!)
I've seen and worn many sweaters in my life. I have NEVER knit one. I'm also new to cables, having only knit two of THESE which are equally as elegant as the IK Cable Down Raglan and a lot quicker to make! :)
I think, once this move is over and things are settled down and settled in a bit (and Hidcote at least OTN, Catharina completed!), this might just be my first sweater.
In these days of "is it hot in here?" those 3/4 sleeves are perfect for me (and yes, the color of the example sweater is, too!)
(sigh)

Bought the mag for this very sweater. I'm going to knit it in a smaller size than I wear, because I am on a doctor-supervised weight loss program. Talk about a carrot! VBG!
And so would that deep red that looks so good on you!
This sweater caught my eye also. I love the shaping. You should definitely knit it! The designer has her first book coming out this spring or summer.
I'm in the middle-ish of my first sweater. I say go for it!! :)
It is a great sweater, isn't it?
Beautiful! I'm waiting on my copy of IK and that's just, well, wow!!
That is a beautiful pattern. It would be a very interesting project.
OK! I am not going to let yu forget that you ARE going to knit a sweater!!!
Looks like I need to resubscribe to Ik. See, you sold one with your little advertisement! No, I am NOT going to knit it!
I fell in love with this too. It will look spectacular on you!
Hope you get moved in soon so you can rest!

Scary, isn't it? You start knitting cables and all of a sudden, everything you knit seems to need a cable...
This is gorgeous! I've got to get a copy of this magazine. I may not add it to the immediate list, but I'll want one eventually!

Top down raglans are one of the easiest styles to knit.. And if you can do lace, & I know you can unlike moi, you can do cables.. much easier {g}
