IWK Fall 2008 Sidelines Top

2008-08-15T14:16:00Z

This sweater is beautifully constructed and designed. What you can see in the photos is the lovely "paneled" structure, with the front panel separated by the two side panels by "princess lines" of cable stitches. What you may not be able to see in the photo is that the side panels on the front of the sweater are formed by working on the bias: the stitches slant upwards on each side from the base of the cable towards the side seams. ...(read more)

IWK Fall 2008 Windowpane Coat

2008-08-15T14:16:00Z

The Windowpane Coat uses simple knits and purls to create a lush brocade surface. Flatteringly long lines make the full-length jacket versatile, equally at home with a dress and narrow belt or over jeans. A smooth, classic merino in a chunky weight makes the texture pop in high relief. ...(read more)

IWK Fall 2008 Little Blue Sweater

2008-08-11T20:17:00Z

The key to this sweater's success is to determine, for yourself, where you want the ribbing to end and the cabled section to begin. Do you want the ribbing to come right up under your bust? Or do you want it to fall somewhere in the vicinity of your waist? As you can see, the ribbing ended up in different places on all of us, so pick the look that you prefer, and customize it for your own measurements....(read more)

IWK Fall 2008 Backstage Tweed Jacket

2008-08-11T16:27:00Z

How much ease is enough for this swingy, beautifully detailed jacket? One way to determine this is to measure a garment you already have that has the fit you'd like this coat to have. Then think of how you want to wear it: Layered, with a sweater or other garments underneath, so it functions as a true outerwear garment?...(read more)

IWK Summer 2008 Brick Pullover

2008-05-02T05:59:00Z

This pullover has a very unusual construction: The front and back sections with the grid design are rectangles with blunted corners at the top; each sleeve/shoulder/neck section is a single piece. The two sleeve/shoulder/neck pieces are joined vertically at the center back and then sewn to the tops of the front and back rectangles. This forms a modified saddle shoulder, with no seam around the armholes. Interesting! ...(read more)

IWK Summer 2008 Elinor Tunic

2008-05-02T05:58:00Z

Everyone wanted to take this tunic home with them (we checked everyone's backpack at the end of the day). We were a bit surprised at how great it looked on a variety of body types--we all assumed that the stripe at the hips would look terrible--but it didn't, it looked TERRIFIC! ...(read more)

IWK Summer 2008 Drawstring Raglan

2008-05-02T05:55:00Z

Notes on fit: In the magazine, this sweater is shown slightly open, with about 0.75" positive ease. On our Gallery Gals, we also show it worn open, scooching the fabric back along the drawstring to create gentle pleats/folds from the drawstring downwards. These pleats are an important part of the overall design--notice how they correspond to the points in the lace pattern, giving the lace-and-stripe combination just a bit more graceful emphasis. ...(read more)
