Stitch by Stitch Images - Issue 7

It's the waist that bothers me. The argyle top is kind of nice, but the gathered knitted waist? Not a good spot to add bulk.

Stitch by Stitch Images - Issue 6

It took me a little while to work out exactly what bothered me the most in this one. The fit is alright and the colours while eye watering aren't that terrible. In the end I worked out that it was the co-ordination of the two. I'm sure that kid didn't volunteer.

Stitch by Stitch Images - Issue 5

With a couple of potential candidates from this issue I ended up choosing this one because of the title "Fuzzy and Flattering". Well they had the first part right...

Stitch by Stitch Images - Issue 4

I do enjoy doing swaps, but one of the problems is making (hopefully lovely) things and then having to delay posting them until they've been received. So in the meantime (after another lazy break from me) I'll try and post some more Stitch by Stitch images.

We have a knitting picture today, really just on here because it's so unflattering, both in shape and colour. Possibly aiming to offend no one, it also pleases no one.

Stitch by Stitch Images - Issue 3

Now this one is a little less cute and more an idea of what not to crochet. It's bulky and unflattering. What I found interesting is the pose, which is really quite modern, as the model appears to be pretending to talk on her mobile ...in around 1979 according to the copyright at the front of the magazine.

Stitch by Stitch Images - Issue 2

Here's the first of the images from the enormous collection of magazines I showed you recently. This one's from Stitch by Stitch issue 2 and is actually quite a cute project - a little denim place mat with a pocket.

I promise there will be more amusing photos coming up, but not everything in these is hideous and I do need to have a balance.
