Cinnabar & Spice in a color rut? Think flavor: a simple knit in
exotic mango or curry hues; a knit Technicolor intarsia jacket that
will put some notches in your knitting belt.
Hot color, intricate stitches and exotic details are giving knitwear a South Asian flavor. Call it an Indian summer...
Elegant and oh-so-easy to knot, Cathy Maguire's beautiful beaded shell
is a Bombay dream come true. Ribbon embroidery, sequins and beads
accent the keyhole neck. The yarn is "Fantasy Naturale" from Plymouth.
 Jordana Paige’s surplice tank skims over curves for a
figure-flattering fit. Slip-stitch ties wrap the waist. Ribbon yarn,
Lion Brand’s “Incredible”, creates the gorgeous drape and eye-catching
color.
 Eyelet and cording stitch details give Barbara Khouri’s
simple pullover its striking presence. The yarn is a vibrant coral
shade of Adrienne Vittadini/JCA’s “Diannna”
 With loose, loopy stitches and kerchieflike tails, this cool
coverup can’t help but captivate. Designed by Marcia Cleary for
knittingbag.com in GGH/Muench Yarns’ “Safari”, it features a long
fold-over front flap and points that can be left loose or tied at the
side |
