Knitting designs do need to be seen as knitters want to see details before the decide to spend a lot of money on yarn and hours, weeks or even months knitting something. With buying general fashions, if you can't see it properly you can always look at it in the shops or buy it online and send it back if you don't like it. That's not possible when you've spent months knitting a garment.<br /><br />As a designer it can be difficult when you send off a garment and have no control of how it's styled or what clothes they put with it. Most of the time I've been happy but there have been occasions when i've been quite upset about how they've styled my designs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440603490259597083.post-76694949774462245922011-05-16T07:37:34.899-04:002011-05-16T07:37:34.899-04:00When I see a pattern in a book or magazine, I want...When I see a pattern in a book or magazine, I want to see the knitting. I think Knitters (of the US ones) is the best at showing the design from multiple angles with minimal extraneous stuff. Vogue has always been about stylized, dramatic ... rarely have I seen Vogue designs that look wearable ... arty, yes, wearable, no! IWKnits often does have odd layering and color combos ... and often you just can't see the knitted details. Just my humble (ok, not so humble) opinion!Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295815960754677983noreply@blogger.com
