'Tis that time again for........

....a new Twist Collective! 
And, as always, it is loaded full of great projects and drool-worthy pictures. (Who knew hand knits could be so juicy? lol) Per usual, there are too many favs to post about but I like highlighting a few because I'm always in awe of the work these designers do. 

Sideways knit cables? INTRIGUING. (The top photo on that page makes me laugh though. Does anyone else get the sense the model is burning holes into the photographer with her eyes for making her sit at such an awkward angle? lol)

MITTENS!

I'm a HUGE fan of Anne's work- I've done a few sock/scarf patterns of hers and they are some of the most organized, meticulously written patterns you'll ever come across.  This one is a real winner for me too. It has a lot of interesting twisted stitches and pattern work and yet still seems very light and wearable. (I'm not a huge fan of wearing heavy sweaters. They can look great but they make me miserable.)

SOCKS. With twisty twistiness and cables. Sweeeeet.

And about a dozen others. Go poke around and find your own favorites. :)

A new Twist Collective is up!

And mannnnn, there are some sweet patterns in this issue. I'm not going to highlight them all but these are a few of my favs:

 I *love* the collar on this!! I'm just a sucker for cables, cables cables overall:
Love the detailing on this sleeve here:


I'm not sure the colors in this one, as pictured here, are quite 'me' but I could see this in a charcoal/black bottom with a light grey top part or vice versa:


THESE. MUST. DO. THESE.


Ohhhhh, and about a dozen other things. You should check it out just for the eye pr0n because the photos are beautiful. :)
