Happy Friday, friends. I’ve got a nice varied stack of Elsewhere links for you below, but one tangential one first — from Grace Bonney as she closed Design Sponge after 15 years, a bit of advice I can simultaneously nod along with and continue to learn from, and I hope others will too: How to handle (and learn from) being called out. Please read and pass it along!
• Well said, Denise, and obviously about knitting as well: “Sewing has taught me that I’m in charge of the image I present to the world.”
• Does anyone have a spare copy of this to sell me?
• I love this crochet swimsuit
• The fashion industry’s diversity problem
• Three new-to-me, WOC-owned, slow-fashion brands I’m loving: Emme (totally brilliant upcycling and more), Chelsea Bravo (hand-painted casual wear) and Proclaim (“inclusive nude” bras and bodysuits)
• Maybe this is the one to get me going: Quilted hexagon potholders (perhaps at coaster size?)
• This sleeve swatch [heart eyes!] — and it takes me back to this ol’ gem
• “Systematic overproduction just isn’t sustainable, no matter how you spin it.”
• This doll outfit in my size, please (Which takes me back to these beauties!)
• Next-level yoke (click the little right arrow on the first image)
• And wowwwwww

Can you give more information as to what magazine that funnel neck sweater is from or name of pattern? I swear I’ve seen it.
There’s a photo of the cover if you click through. 👍

About that vintage Vogue pattern, September Morn by Thea Coleman could be a substitute :

I feel like the Botanical Yoke Pullover from Purl Soho could be modified to something similar
Oh my, knitting pasta….
Hi Karen, if you can’t find a copy of the pattern, I’m sure you can design your own version of that funnel neck sweater- it could be knit as a top down raglan, and you’re the master of improvising those. It would look awesome on you, and it perfectly fits your aesthetic.
Knoodles!
Love that funnel neck sweater! Reminds me of Timber fy Shannon Cook https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/timber-2 but I like the pullover even better. The book is available on etsy at the moment (search “Vogue Knitting 66”).
A template for the hexagon potholder/mug run is at Missouri Star. I’ve made dozens of these–easy peasy.
