I went to my mail box the other day and inside was 2 new magazines. (I love magazines!) I got the Spring
Garnet Hill and the Spring
Interweave Knits. Obviously one is a knitting magazine and the other is a clothing magazine. I found it so astonishing that Iwas drawn to an Alpaca Sweater in G.H for $178.00. The sweater is so plush and luxurious. I could never afford it but then again, I just might....
As I was looking through my Interweave Knits magazine, there was a première sweater pattern for the exact sweater in G.H.! Not only can I make it myself and tell others that I made it, I can pay a fraction of the cost and be on the cutting edge of fashion.
By the way, Knit Picks just came out with a new yarn line, Aloft Mohair. It is a fraction of the cost of traditional mohair and they have some fabulous colors to choose from. So the next time you see me, I might be adorned in a fashionable new look. Then again knowing me, I might just have it on with jeans!
