I just wanted to quickly drop in to say that you can see two of my latest designs in the Holiday 2010 issue of Vogue Knitting magazine. I just learned from Ravelry, that the same magazine is also published as a Designer Knitting magazine for European market. Hmm, interesting. Here are the designs:
Bow Neck Cardigan
Yarn: Bergère de France Eclair
: 23 stitches and 25 rows = 4 inches in start stitch patt

This cardigan is worked top-down cardigan, in a virtually no-sew construction. The construction allows for easy modifications. Any knitter can be easily adjust the sleeve length to long sleeve or longer length if desired.
Vine Lace Scarf
Gauge: 32 stitches and 37 rows = 4 inches in over chart lace pattern
: US 3 - 3.25 mm
Size: 6" x 83"

This scarf is worked in a vine lace pattern that shows very nicely in the Debbie Bliss Rialto 4 ply yarn. I very much enjoyed working with it. It is very soft and gives beautiful stitch definition.
The scarf is worked in two pieces that are joined with 3-needle bind-off at the center. It is worked that way so that the lace pattern shows in the same direction for both halves. This construction also makes it for a faster knit if you work both halves at the same time. I like to knit that way because you have both halves finished at the same and both halves have the exact same length achieved without any measuring, counting rows or pattern repeats to check the lengths.
