Finally - I, too, got the Interweave "Honeypot" Issue:
Pardon my language (hubby and I struggled for quite a while yesterday to find a not-too-offensive word), but that cardigan on the cover totally looks like a you-know-what. A couple of weeks ago, we had a huge laugh about this design at my Sunday knitting group. Someone even suggested putting fun-fur trim along the edge. EEWWWW...
Why in the world would anyone want to wear such a weird design? I am all for non-mainstream designs, but this is too much...
But the issue also has a bunch of really nice patterns. Here are my favorites, which will go on my "To Knit" list. :-)
What are your favorites in this issue? When I see all the designs, I seriously start to wonder if I'll ever get close to knitting everything on my "To Knit" List.
And I called VogueKnitting today - they will send me another issue to replace my mangled Collector's Issue. YAY FOR THAT!!!
With this - happy Wednesday. This week is almost over...

I sort of liked that design on the cover because Anthropologie is showing a cropped version (just the top portion) of the same sweater for about $98.00. I think the 'offensive' part is the bottom section anyway. I can't wait to go to the book store on Friday and pick up my copy of IK.

I love the fair isle sweater! I think that's going on my to knit list for the future.

I just got my copy too but have barely had time to glance at it. I did, however, notice that I have the exact yarn specified for Cinnabar! I think it'll be a nice, classic sweater for work. Now to find the time to knit it...

Claudia, I am truly LOL about the you-know-what on the cover of the new IK. I doubt I would have noticed it myself, but now I can't NOT see it! I've heard of subliminal advertising, so I wonder if that's what this is...maybe it will cause more people to buy the mag...

I only know a person called "you know who" but what means "you know what"?
I am still waiting for my vogue knitting issue. I asked my postman. He is not able to knit ;-)
