Let's do an old fashioned knitting magazine review! If you got your copy, you can follow along. If not, you can see some of the patterns on Ravelry or directly from Interweave (I've added links to the pictures on Interweave for each of their patterns). I'm going to give you a page-by-page impression because I know you are that interested in what I have to say.

• Inside front cover - Tahki yarns Georgia Pullover. The cables are really cool, but I don't think anyone benefits from wearing a box.
• Page 3 - Purl Soho Ad. I love rainbows. I think this ad is pretty.
• Page 5 - Berroco Emerson. Looks comfy, but too chunky.
• Page 8 - Morehouse Merino KnitKits. Interesting. The dragon top hat is kinda cool. I don't really understand the shark cell case. Is the pointy part the shark fin? But why are the teeth so near the fin?
• Page 13 - Bergere de France. Too fuzzy and too much going on. Without the bell sleeves it might be cuter... or without the neck edging... and maybe in a different yarn.
• Page 15 - Mission Falls Florence. I get that the new pattern book is called Silhouette, but the pictures of the sweaters on blank people is a little creepy. The purple sweater on the cover of the book is better than the red one that is featured.
• Page 16 - Nashua Handknits Biker Jacket. Bad picture. How many zippers are on this jacket? It also looks really huge on the model.
• Page 19 - Webs. Same model, three bland sweaters.
• Page 21 - Stitch Nation. Hmm... Debbie Stoller has her own line of yarns now. 100% affordable, you say. Hold on, I need to check this out... First, stitchnation.com doesn't exist. Try the real link stitchnationyarn.com. I ought to have read the whole ad before typing in the address. All $5 a skein for about 150ish yards of worsted/heavy worsted wool, alpaca, or bamboo. The colors are kind of funky. I'll have to investigate this more.
• Page 23 - Skacel Collection. Yes, my number one complaint with sweaters is that my shoulders and upper arms are always too hot. Thanks for the vest and elbow length gloves!
• Page 24 - Brattleboro Hat. Very cute! I really like the hat, the color, and the buttons. Funnily, I actually came across the book, "New England Knits," randomly about a week ago and added it to my Amazon wish list. There's a lot of cute sweaters in it.
• Pages 26-7 - Alpen Socken, The Proverbial Cap, Bavarian Tulip Mittens. The socks are nice, but I'd like some clearer pictures of all the cables. The hat is cute, but in the picture looks like it is tucked up because it is too big. The edge of the hat looks too perfect, maybe it is hemmed? Mittens, eh. Not a fan of pointy mittens.
• Page 33 - Kollage Kits. Eh.
• Page 35 - Louet Ribs on Diagonal. Warm and cozy looking. I'd definitely wear it, don't know that I'd make it.
• Page 37 - Design by Louise. I'm confused by the slogan: "Friendly patterns for the average knitter... what's new!!" No need to be extraordinary or special, just average. And "what's new!!" is this meant to be "look at our new designs" or a snarkier "same old same old." The sweaters pictured are as described, average.
• Page 38 - Leitmotif Cardigan. At first glance, I didn't like it, but looking at it again, I think that I do like it. The construction from side to side is interesting. I worry though that it might be hard to get sized correctly. I think in a smoother yarn, it might look better.
• Page 39 - Hawthorn Pullover. Love it! Simple, classic. I'd definitely wear it.
• Page 40 - Plein Air Tote. The tote is poorly lit so it is difficult to see the cables. It looks like the only way to see the pretty cables is for the tote to be stuffed with a big box to hold its shape. And while it looks huge, it also looks like you can't fit a lot in it.
• Page 40 - Point Gammon Pullover. I really hate men's sweaters with big wide crew necks. I think it looks to feminine. It's also possible that this model is too skinny. Are there cables in the side seams? Why aren't those shown more clearly? (Online pictures are much better!)
• Page 41 - Inversion Gansey. I like the color. The sweater is nice, but not my style.
• Page 42 - Cloisonne Jacket. I wish the edge of the jacket (not the lace) hit at her hips. Also a more exaggerated hourglass shape would make it prettier.
• Page 43 - Leyfi Pullover. "Leyfi" seriously? Stupid name, but nice sweater. Couldn't the model have been reaching for something that would show off the pattern down the arms instead of her looking like she's griping onto that bench for dear life.
• Page 49 - Kollage Charisma Pullover. Lose the bell sleeves and I love it.
• Page 51 - Cascade Yarns. I'd buy this sweater in a store. I don't have the patience to make it myself.
• Can I interrupt to say that I hate hate hate the layout of this magazine? I don't understand why each pattern isn't printed on its own page(s). Why is part of one pattern's instructions running into another's? In many places it is confusing as to which pattern various notes and charts are referring to.
• Page 70 - Running Stitch Skirt. I'm in love. Would I really knit this? Maybe. Would I knit it and then never wear it? Most likely. Will that deter me? Probably not.
• Page 70 - Pizzicato Scarf. A ribbed scarf. Woo.
• Page 71 - Sea and Sky Shrug. Cute. I like the little edge ruffle.
• Page 75 - Rowan and Fiber Trends. I'd like the Rowan jacket if the button band extended all the way to the end of the sweater. This seems like the designer ran out of yarn or get tired of making the button band. The Fiber Trends jacket is... colorful. But I think the model's half-hearted smile sums up the pattern pretty well.
• Page 78 - Breacon Swing Coat. Pretty, but not for me.
• Page 79 - George Street Pullover. Another one that I didn't really like at first, but examining again is quite nice. But man, one misplaced or forgotten eyelet and you've totally f'ed the sweater.
• Page 80 - Pillows. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
• Page 81 - Slating Plaid Stole. Pretty.
• Page 82 - Elementary Vest. I like this. I like the detail at the side seam. I wish I was better at stranded knitting.
• Page 83 - Peavey Jacket. Model looks pretty peeved to be wearing this jacket. Looks like he's thinking "dude, why am I wearing a grampa sweater?"
• Pages 89-107 - Various ads. Nothing spectacularly good or bad. Flipping pages... Ack! Baby on page 97 is creepy!! Flipping pages... What is the lady wearing in the MangoMoon ad on page 103?
• Page 108 - Chiral Cardigan. The flower buttons make the sweater a twee too cutesy. Without them, I quite like the sweater.
• Page 109 - Williamsburg Cardigan. Don't love it or hate it. Maybe if it was shorter or wrapped around I'd like it better.
• Page 110 - Tamarix Quilt and Hoarfrost Mobius. I like both, but lack the willpower to actually knit them.
• Page 111 - Arching Cables Jacket. I love this jacket. Loved it immediately. I can imagine wearing this constantly. And as to my comment earlier about the layout, on page 123 (the page you are directed to for the instructions on the sweater) there's a Designer's tip box for working with wire yarn. Right next to the box is a picture and title of the Arching Cables Jacket. So I was like, "wow, that sweater is made out of wire yarn! I don't think I'll be making that. Then I'm reading through the info and there's no mention of wire in the yarn listed for the jacket. Then I flip several pages back to page 120. At the very bottom of the page (the rest of which is instructions for the blanket) is the start of the info for the mobius scarf and that yarn has wire. Very confusing and frustrating layout Interweave. I'd like all the information for the patterns to be separated so that it is easy to tell which goes with which. I'm lazy, I don't like to figure it out on my own.
• Page 117-to end - Various Ads.
• Page 129 - Includes another picture of the Leitmotif Cardigan, but it is right under the big and bright "Oops!" box. I appreciate the extra picture of the sweater, but the positioning makes it feel like there's a problem with the sweater before anyone's even made it! Maybe it is foreshadowing!
• Page 143 - I love the photo index.
• Back cover - Classic Elite Yarns. If only it had sleeves, I would love it!!
