Have you seen Brooklyn Tweed’s Wool People? I am absolutely in love.
The feather and fan pattern has been on my mind a lot lately, so you can imagine my delight when I saw the Levenwick pattern in the collection.
Feather and fan meets Russian collar! Gudrun must have a direct connection to the land of my dreams.
And then, a colourwork hat in worsted weight.
Just what I needed to practice my colourwork a bit. Thank you, knitting gods. (And Alexis Winslow.)
So that’s my fall 2011 favourites for now. How about you? What’s making you itch for the first signs of fall this year? :)

The hat leaves me more or less indifferent, but that cardigan is divine! I’m curious to see what yarn you’ll choose for it. As for my plans for the fall, I haven’t made any specific plans for the fall but I’ve got some lace yarn waiting in line :)
To be honest, I´m kinda hoping some occasion will come up where I´ll be able to ask for Shelter as a gift. I´m so modest, I know ;)
My favorite from Wool People is the Perry cardi. I wish I had a little extra time to devote to it.
Love Wool People!
A few weeks ago I didn’t know what I was going to knit this Fall. Now I have a queue that is overflowing and not enough hands!
no, no, I NEVER itch for the fall! I would be perfectly happy with summer all year around!
I´d consider such a statement blasphemy as well, but in Brussels it IS fall already, and I´ve wept my tears for the summer a long time ago… ;)
Lovely pattern – what colour are you planning? I have so many ideas in my head – i couldn’t sleep last night for thinking about them – need to do a bit more orgnising – the stash is not going down………
I don´t have any concrete colour plans yet… Any suggestions?
I love that cardi too.
The hat looks a lot like Opus Spicatum. But for $6
What a great collection — no surprise. I especially love the fan-and-feather edged sweater. Too bad I’m afraid to knit a sweater!
It’s nice, but I’m so into designing a cable poncho and finding the most perfect yarn for my Autumn Leaves shawl that it would be too much, I must be realistic :-(
Maybe fall 2012? ;)
I hope so! The hardest thing in being a knitter is that I want to make so many things and I can’t because I don’t have enough time for it.
Ooooh that cardigan is delicious :)
Oh well, I’m not very original :D – I’ve already bought the pattern for this cardi and even have yarn ready
wow, I think I even have some yarn very similar to this. Absolutely LOVE this cardi, but I’m waiting to see how yours turns out :)
Oh haha, then you might only be making it in fall…. 2014? :D I´m not famous for finishing sweaters quickly (come to think of it, I´m not famous for finishing sweaters fullstop. :D)
Considering how fast we went from 2008 to 2011, that’s not a problem :)
I want pretty much every pattern in Wool People. I wish they would release it as a book!
I started Levenwick the day Wool People was released…and restarted it last week because it was turning out waaaay too big. It stole my heart.
Oh, I saw it! You´ll be happy you restarted! :)
Oh my god, there is waaaaay to many I want to knit for Fall. I think I have at least 7 things would need to be made for November 1st!
Can I be honest? I so did not love Wool People. I haven’t loved anything that’s come out for 2011 Autumn/Winter. There’s one scarf I’ll probably do, but that’s it. I think I’ve become uninspirable.
I’m sorry to hear that… But if you’re anything like me, your queue is probably full of stuff to knit from previous autumn/winters, so it I hope it shouldn’t lead to not-knitting! :)
