From WRAP STYLE this one is very me, not just because i'm cold all the time. I'd make this brioche stitch one in the Naturally Merino & Fur also, use the claret & grape for a caplet au-moment. otherwise the Debbie Bliss Alpaca & Silk would be yummy, soft, light & just the right warmth. Or go classic elegance and use a soft & smooth Italian merino from Needful Yarns/Filtes King Extra

This little wonder from WRAP STYLE is definitely Noro Bound - i totally see it in some of the gorgeous colours & textures in Noro Iro or Noro Transitions.

something for you to peruse: the newsletter for the new knitscene mag from interweave. it isn't in store yet but i'll let you know as soon as it is!

according to Interweave editor Pam Allen this mag is geared towards "style-conscious women who are bored by mass retail uniformity. They are more creative, willing to push the boundaries, and not weighed down by tradition. They view their knitting as a form of personal expression and they like to get funky by merging techniques—incorporating embroidery, sewing, crocheting, and even beading into their knitting." coolio!
