Finally, IK Spring 2007 arrived!
I have been watching on other blogs and thought my postie had turned into a knitter and was borrowing my IK! It did arrive today and I was excited, as the preview really intrigued me and I thought there were a couple of patterns I might like to knit.
I was a bit disappointed, and now I can see only one I might knit and that is the Cable Down Raglan on page 42. I love the colour, but I would make the sleeves longer. Most of the other patterns I find just too young for me. I do like the Roza's Socks by Grumperina - and maybe I will knit a pair of them.
The one sweater that really caught my eye was this one on page 71. I googled, after finding out that Westminster Fibers is a wholesale operation and my LYS does not carry those yarns. To make a long story short, I was able to run the pattern to earth. I called Ram Wools and they have the pattern book that this sweater is in! It is back ordered, but that is not a worry, as I have lots to work on at present.

I'm so glad you found the sweater pattern. I looked and looked the other night and couldn't find it! I'll check Ram Wools too.
That's funny, Peg, I had almost the same reaction to the IK Spring. I was waiting and waiting for it, but wasn't so thrilled after I looked through. And the same Nashua sweater caught my eye! Nice to know where it can be found. :0)
I'm with you on the current issue, funny how some can be picnic packed with patterns I love, and here and there an issue with very little to my tastes.
That Nashua sweater is pretty!
Yep. I like that pattern too. Good for you for hunting it down!
ohhh peg I loooove that sweater! I need to make it!
My favorite from that magazine is the Cable Down Raglan too - I know someone just started a KAL for it.
