VOGUEknitting’s Silver Anniversary Issue
Wow!! You really must pick up this issue. Beautiful, strange, couture, oh-no-the-’80’s, and everything in between.
First, cruise by Vogue’s site for some free patterns from the 10 different covers.
Next, check out the preview page for a few pattern photos.
So much delightful knitting. Anyone else in love with the scarf on the cover?
I’m horrified by the return of the big baggy sweater. I spent my teenage years hiding my 130lb body under baggy sweaters because I thought I was fat. Now that I actually am overly rotund and have decided to show my curves for what they are, the baggy sweaters are back. I will not wear you, you baggy sweater!
On the bright side, the big sweaters look like they would fit just about anybody. At last, we can wear couture.
In all there are 11 patterns that go up to 2x. Four of those are big, baggy one-size-fits-all sweaters.

I am looking for a big baggy v neck sweater pattern to knit. i can’t get into the 10 patterns above. When I open the window, they all appear blank.
WOW! You’re my new hero!! I have crocheted for 25 years and am just learning to knit, but have never made myself anything because I never found anything that I really liked IN MY SIZE! Can you recommend a good knitting pattern to start now for a winter sweater?
I have been looking at (and actually purchased) the pattern online for the central park hoodie from interweave - but it takes ALOT of yarn, looks like in my size it would weigh quite a bit?
Thanks for an AWESOME site!!!
