Interweave Crochet Fall 2007

Sing it with me now....



"I'm on the cover, I'm on the COVER, I'M ON THE COVER" Eeeeeee!








Ok I'll stop, even Faye is putting her paws over her ears. I'm just so excited. Its my first cover for a magazine. But more special to me, Interweave Crochet and Interweave Knits are the magazines that I would pick up and dream about being in before I started designing. They were my favorite and still are, so its quite special to me to be the cover!








Rosemary, the sweater, was a really fun project for me. Even from the beginning, when Kim and I were picking out colors from Louet's amazing colors, this project was such a blast. I used a really simple stitch and clean lines. It was a no brainer kind of crocheting, and I adored making it. It was pure joy. Then I got to do fun experiments with the fabric and SOAK wash. Watching it become super relaxed.



One day this fall, after the book is all turned in, and before any other deadlines start to loom, I really can see myself making one for me. Maybe in Green Apple or Lime Smoothie or Orange Berry. Who am I kidding, I'm going to have to close my eyes and pick- b/c all their colors would look great. I can see me wearing it a lot, varying the look with different camis (or no camis) underneath. Big belts, small belts, high waisted belts and low hip belts. I hope you enjoy it as well.



But besides Rosemary, there are quite a few other fun projects. Like Even Howard's Car Coat, Doris Chan's Lacy Tunic, and Annette Petavy's Cute Kid Sweater. So now we just have to wait a few weeks till we get our copies and see what other goodies they have inside for us!
