I really want to knit this!!! This is one you really cannot have be loose though (hello, armhole gappage/b&&bs flying out), so I'm going to have to knit the XS which is a little smaller than I would normally knit (hello, 29") but it should work because that won't be too small under the bust/rib cage. Ideally I'd like it to measure about 31", though, a little smaller than my high bust measurement, as this needs to be small enough there to stay up. I'll find a yarn and swatch it to play with the gauge. Depending on how stretchy the yarn is - oooh,just remembered the hot pink Rowan Calmer I have in stash - the 29" could be just fine.
That's the only thing I want to knit this time. Peace out...
Yeah, I was a little underwhelmed by this issue. I like the lacy armwarmers and the shawls are lovely, but it's the summer issue, so the gloves and hats?!? In theory I like the idea of getting a headstart on good Christmas gifts, but in reality I want NOW patterns for ME!

I like that one too. I like the Honeychurch one sorta kinda, but that stitch pattern might get on my nerves after a while. The little girl's dress is ADORABLE, but I'm fresh out of little girls to knit for.

I was looking at that pattern yesterday. Very cute. I was digging the gloves and fingerless gloves.

Ooooo! Hadn't seen the Knitty yet - thanks for the heads-up :)
Love the little crab and might do the little girl dress for a niece who is soon to have a little brother.

And I thought it would be your style!
BTW, the model on pics looks poses like she's in adult movie!

I can see you in this top! The new issue disappointed me, but maybe the surprises will be good later on?
Your dress in the previous post looks great! Sorry I am taking so long with Paloma.

I thought "Robin" when I saw that pattern and said - now who would knit/wear that? It's definitely not me - that's way too much skin showing for this bod!!!
Overall, I liked the issue - there's a small shawl I'd like, and the fingerless glove pattern was done with handspun, so it's right up my alley now, too!
:O)

I like that pattern too. I wasn't too crazy about the rest of patterns. I can really see this one you though. Very cute!
