Big Knits: Oh, so satisfying!

Have you seen the Winter 08/09 edition of Vogue Knitting Magazine? This magazine is full of great large-gauge knits. Displaying any pattern in bright yellow is a daring

It’s a quick knit in a chunky weight yarn; and when that yarn is Cascade Magnum, the feel is just as satisfying as completing such a quick project! Vogue Knitting Cropped Turtleneck Kit
