I remember one issue of VK from the 70s that was devoted to architectural knitting design. The patterns are too "Dynasty" to wear now, what with the broad shoulders and shoulder pads, but the designs were innovative. I worry that VK today is morphing into IK, but they have to stay in business, I guess. Like Fleegle, many knitters don't care about fashion, but many would knit more technically challenging things if they felt they had the skill, I think. VK publishes an array of patterns from beginning to advanced - they could use their website to illustrate the less frequently used and advanced techniquies but I suppose that costs money too. But having said all that, Setsuko Torii's designs are simple, deceptively so. There are a lot of technicians around, but not a lot of artists. Are the ones that are around finding it hard to get published?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100129333721277712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9253384.post-35494371611235343312008-08-21T10:51:00.000-05:002008-08-21T10:51:00.000-05:00most of the knitting patterns out lately have just...most of the knitting patterns out lately have just been more of the same, people are doing math for others instead of designing. <BR/><BR/>I'm definitely looking forward to fall and started knitting already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9253384.post-9389881841548809882008-08-19T18:56:00.000-05:002008-08-19T18:56:00.000-05:00I don't pay much attention to fashion, so I just k...I don't pay much attention to fashion, so I just knit patterns that I have found appealing over the years.

I've been thinking about fall knitting a lot lately even though its still in the high 80's here in GA and we've probably got another month of summer. <BR/>I'm eyeing up a few Anthro pieces as we speak, and looking for patterns that are similar.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345829142268909884noreply@blogger.com
