The Knitting Fiend

 
Someone will knit this
using bulky weight wool yarn.
That someone will sweat.

In my imagination the design process went something like this. Vogue sent the designer a letter saying:

Dear Twinkle,

Please create a cute youthful design with the following characteristics:

• Description: Sleeveless mini-dress.
• The stitch gauge: Less than 2 st/inch.
• Total weight of yarn: About 4 lbs.
• Fiber: Wool.

Enclosed please find yarn for project.

Sincerely,
Vogue Knitting.

Poor Twinkle dutifully complied, whipped this up overnight, mailed it back and waited for her meager commission.

That’s what I imagine when I see the design. The reality must be different; this sweater appeared on the runway as part of the Twinkle fashion collection.

By the way, Amazon.com lists her yet-to-be-published book “Twinkle’s big City Knits” to be available in 2007.

Do I even need to tell you this appears in Vogue Knitting, Fall 2006?
