Burda World of Fashion Knitting

Getting ready to start some summer sewing , I pulled out some Burda WOF as fondly referred to by sewists all over the sewing community.
First mag in the pile was May 2006 edition.
And found...........


Nice lace eyelet cardi done in a cotton cablee yarn.Equivalent to UK 4ply , would work in Jaeger Siena or Patons 4ply cotton
My sewing plans were soon abandoned , and spent a few hours drooling over my Burda WOF mags.I have all the issues from 1992 here and some earlier ones in another location.
What a treasure trove , there were loads of knitting patterns with cables and nice stitch work.Even though some of the styles were dated drop shoulder sweaters yuck , the stitch patterns will build up into a nice knitionary.Unusual socks patterns( from 1992-1994), fairisle slippers and almost all types of handcrafts(Hardanger, Patchwork , Macrame)

And the scoop was an article about Marianne Isager .
Three of her patterns with charts............................. more later
