Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2023

This issue has you ready for warmer days with no-sleeve and short sleeve looks. The most playful is the Popsicle by Mari Lynn Patrick who calls it a quick knit although it is a 3 out of 4 for difficulty. It has asymmetrical shoulders and ribbing through the body. It is done up in Anzula Vera which is a sport-weight yarn made of silk and linen, and that lovely rosy color is called Blush.

My favorite because of its vintage look is the eyelet patterns Campanula by Deborah Newton, a fitted polo collared pullover done in a taupe. 3 out of 4 for difficulty, it is done up in Skacel ALB Lino, also a sport-weight yarn and made of a blend of wool and linen.

A section of paired sweaters--one simple one dolled-up--gives us the strapped v-neck called The Artist by Melissa Leapman that is a 2 out of 4 for difficulty. It uses Blue Sky Fibers Skinny, a worsted weight cotton yarn and appears opposite a plain v-neck also by Leapman. Similarly, the ruffled sleeves on a charcoal grey, crewneck pullover accompany a plain crewneck. The ruffled version is called The Muse, and is 2 out of 4 for difficulty. It is made in Berroco Luca yarn, a worsted weight cashmere and cotton blend, and both are by Norah Gaughan.  

Vista is the cream-colored tunic is by Lavinia Voiculescu in Cascade Hampton which is a DK-weight yarn in a blend of cotton and linen. Although the eyelet pattern makes it look complicated, the shape is very simple and the difficulty is only 2 out of 4.

Lastly, on the cover is The Dancer by Donna Estin which is made up of a boucle yarn, hence all the appealing texture, The yarn is called Curiosity by African Expressions which is blended wool, polyamide and mohair which is also a DK weight yarn and the pretty blue color is #9112. The sweater is a 2 out of 4 for difficulty.

In addition to interviews, and columns on new books, new yarns, new products, Meg Swansen shares some knitting tips from her mother Elizabeth Zimmerman.

1. How i met you

June, 15.

I'm sitting in front of her on a red velvet couch, admiring her elegancy. Most of the crowd was starting to leave as I sat there staring at her long wavy dark brown hair, that reached her waist. With a well proportionately face. She is blessed with a tan skin and has the most adorable freckles. I always draw them on. The battery on my phone is at 5 percent, which really means ten if I am lucky. Sometimes when I dared to open my camera, my phone would get a seizure and then die immediately. But I just needed a picture of her up close!

Had I known that it would be someone entirely else that would be occupying my mind that evening, I might have stayed home. I'll tell you more about him, but first we need to wind it back to when my anxiety really peaked.

January, 5.

Just months before her show I couldn't make up my mind if I should go or not. I don't excactly have a large bucket of friends, so if I did buy a ticket I would have to go alone. I put the thought aside for well... the night before. My heart startet pounding, and sweat marks began to form patches under my arms. This is a good thing I reassured myself. A way to get out of my bubble, to deal with the never ending cycle of my social anxiety and awkwardness. The only problem was, the only ticket available was with a meet & greet after the show. Oh god, the horror. But also a tiny bit exciting. I never ever go to these "meet & greet", in my mind i'm above it. I mean, give the artist some space, right?

I should mention that it is a very small veneue, and a rather unknown artist. Known for her artistic approach on the scene, while she serenades to her audience. And her voice is like; when you just automatically close your eyes, and you drift off on your own. Forgetting time and place, really just the most angelic thing you've ever heard.

"Thank you for your purchase". I bought the ticket. Shit.

June, 15.

I'm distracting myself with the thought of how lucky i got with the ticket the night before. You could say she is my guilty pleasure of an artist, I secretly adore her music, and her beauty. Then a guy approached from the curtain behind her, he gave her a kiss on her cheek and walked towards a table beside her. He sat down, with his foot slightly propped on the edge of the couch I was sitting on.

Guys if I was to describe to you my ideal dream guy... he. was .not. it.

Or not in a way that I would usually describe my ideal "type". This guy was JUST taller than me I think. Thin, but you could tell that he worked out a little bit. Not too obsessed with his look. Just a hint of a beard. A light cool brown hair, that would probably reach his shoulders, but was tucked into a loose bun, with a couple of strands hanging along from his cheek. As he walked toward me.., uhm, I mean the table, our eyes met and he gave me a little smile before he sat down. I could smell his cologne, and if I were to describe my ideal perfume/cologne or whatever in a guy,... this. would. be. it.

20. and 25. for the weirdly specific asks

20. Favorite Disney Princess?

Ariel. Cuz she is a literal mermaid. And also…..belle because I think she has the best castle. Hbu?

25. Would you say you have good taste in music?

No! I have absolutely trash taste in music and I’ve made peace with that. I like “top 40” but that’s probably because it’s played a lot and I don’t go out of my way to find new music. Also I’m still that person blasting music from when I was 17 but….that was 2009 and we had some bangers

Thanks for the asks!

The double helix. Our DNA 🧬 and main constituent of our chromosomes is a polar pair facing around each other. Just like the tao ☯️ is represented, only that is a still depiction, whilst in reality, everything is moving and spinning and spiraling.

OOOOPSIIEESSS

[porciaenjoyer]

my real truth is i wish i could go to #thedance in a suit 😐

[hekateinhell]

Thank you for your wonderful contribution to #vcsmuttysundays, we truly learn something new every day in this fandom and you’re such a wonderful teacher 🥹 My personal favorites are the Vibra Bed (there’s no way Armand didn’t make Daniel squirm on that thing 10 times every night for a month straight), the fluffy handcuffs because I’m nothing if not a slut for mental images of Armand wearing cute shit 🥰 also anything that makes my boy Daniel feel in control for a lil while gets an instant 10/10 in my book, and the gay movie houses because YES to Daniel’s dick being out in public. Oh and also, they totally had at least a few threesomes with #TheDancer, and Armand actually got physically involved during these encounters (Daniel can count how many times this happened during that period), just facts imo xoxo DA ❤️❤️❤️

Aww DA, I'm delighted you enjoyed that one! And it's funny you say that because I was a sort of teacher at one point actually 😂

(there’s no way Armand didn’t make Daniel squirm on that thing 10 times every night for a month straight)

Listen, I'm waiting for the Vibra Bed fic because I think it would hilarious but also sexy and it's just so ridiculous and overtop — truly a 70s/80s vibe! Armand making blond men squirm is my kryptonite (Louis makes him squirm).

YES to Daniel’s dick being out in public.

I love public play so much and it's like- hello??? Imagine Armand blowing him right there in the theater??? Imagine the two of them in a grope-room, Armand watching Daniel get felt up like a prize calf. Or alternately, Armand pretending to flirt with other guys and triggering Daniel's possessive side (because you know he has one and you know Armand loves to feel coveted). 😌

Oh and also, they totally had at least a few threesomes with #TheDancer

Yes! For a long time, I did have it in my headcanons that The Dancer was just a close platonic friend of theirs (someone for Daniel to relate to and another person for Armand to learn from) but then I made a joke in a chat about The Dancer being one of their threesome buddies and it just felt right. So I retract my previous statement and based on my smuttysunday post I think they did quite a bit together. 🤧

Because I've been thinking about it a lot since too: Amadeo had Bianca (and Riccardo in a different way) to confide in and keep him busy when Marius couldn't be around, who did Daniel have? Who was his Bianca and Riccardo? Because it's a lonely life loving someone who can only be accessible within such specific constraints!

I blame monstersinthecosmos for making this line an instructive thought of mine for years now:

This was, of course, the most frustrating relationship he’d ever been in. And there were things about it that he hadn’t been able to admit yet. Not out loud, anyway, but maybe Armand just knew. Like, how do you make up before bed when every night has a deadline? How do you settle for someone who can only be around half the time?

Fucked me up then and fucks me up now. 💔

[colesstar]

i think. Boys suck. Let me learn thedance for what is love in peace. I dont needed to be DISSED for being a silly little girl learning silly little dances

Song of the day 2: The Dance by Garth Brooks (1989) #garthbrooks #thedance #80s

[bosses-stay-flawless]

{King David}

Men choose kings

God anoints Kings

The people chose Saul to lead

God annointed David to lead

David wasn’t the obvious choice he was tending his father’s sheep and of smaller stature than his brothers, he loved music more than war.

So what set David a part? It was his heart even when he had some pretty imperfect moments he was deemed by God, a man that was after God’s own heart.

He didn’t speak to God the same way we spoke to the people, he spoke to God heart to heart.

Later in his reign as king, King David returned to the city with the Ark of the Covenant. King David began to dance with wild abandon, he would take 7 steps stop to dance and take 7 more steps and dance again. . Some despised him in their hearts, saying is this the great King being so vile, his answer was “ I will be more vile than this when praising the goodness of God, his praise overtook him, he danced and danced, dancing so hard that he danced until he danced himself out of his clothes.
