The preview is up for Knitscene Winter 2012! So many lovely sweaters and shawls in this issue. Will my queue ever stop growing??? I think I have enough projects lined up to last me the rest of my life! I am so thrilled to say that I have two patterns in this issue, both using a counterpane construction. Photos are courtesy of Knitscene. First up is Erte Cardigan, a cozy cardigan with a cabled medallion on the back. Long fronts can be left open and draped or wrapped and held closed with a shawl pin. The edges are finished with a textured chevron stitch. A worsted weight wool gives you a nice and cozy cardigan to keep you wa Next is Minnette Pullover, a lace sweater with a shallow scoop neck and fitted sleeves. Both the front and back are worked from the center outwards in a lace medallion, with the diagonal lace pattern continuing across the body. The sleeves and bottom hem are worked in a lace rib. I think Minnette would make a perfect holiday party sweater; when paired with nice slacks you have a dressed up outfit that won't leave you feeling cold.

I love your Erte Cardigan! Could you please help me with sizing? The pattern says to make a size with 8-10" ease. My actual bust circumference is 35". Should I make the 36" or the 43" cardigan? I cannot tell from my reading of the pattern if the "overlap inches" account for the 8-10" ease? Thank you! Karen
