Phildar Rules( sometimes)

Phildar Automne Tendances #456 really rocks ,the first five designs are from the new book , and there are a few more I really like.Better still about 30% of the designs are suitable for machine knitting.

Okay so one need to remain patriotic , Rowan #40 finally hit the doormat.Better issue than the last two but not quite there.Still the same glitchy pattern format written by monkeys or as quoted on the web "written by ferrets".
Take Dew , sassy design last on second row , imagine lace&cable design repeat worked right to the edge without selvedge stitches.Rowan pretty please talk nicely to your continental pals (Phildar, Lana Grossa, GGH , Filati, Online etc) and ask how to write intuitive patterns.

Sewing up a truck load of wacky print rayon lycra tees/tops.Will post pictures soon
