I was thinking that my visit to Milan would yield photos of tempting and imaginative knit confections, so I was surprised that several afternoons of window shopping yielded only three (3!) windows containing any knitwear at all (and not much crochet, even though that seems especially big in the U.S. this season). Pictured is the best of the bunch, if you can believe it. Knitwear designers, if we want to keep the popularity of original knitwear high, apparently we aren't going to get huge amounts of help from the Italians. Or maybe come fall those windows will tell a different story--I hope so.
Oh, and the post title? Checked my e-mail and found out that my two pattern submissions to Knitty were rejected. And in the time it took me shake myself, hard, and tell myself to get on with it, I got another e-mail, this time accepting my pattern submission for Big Girl Knits 2. HOORAY!
Congratulations on your pattern acceptance. I found your blog while 'random blogging' a few weeks ago and read it at first because your blog colors are similar to mine! But I continue reading it because you knit beautifully- oh, that Chinese Lace!
