I love getting mail, especially when there is a knitting magazine in the box! Recently, I received the January 2011 issue of Creative Knitting and the Winter 2010/11 issue of knitsimple. Here's a bit of what you will find inside these issues:

Vogue Knitting Holiday Issue
I've just finished poring over this issue, and thought I'd mention a few of the things that caught my eye.
First, on page 42 the Garden Party clutch, which has flowers knit with Kidsilk Haze and Swarovski bead centers designed by Nicky Epstein. (The flowers are attached to a purchased handbag) Personally, I don't ever carry a clutch/purse/bag, but I think these flowers would look pretty on the corner of a scarf or wrap, or even a felted hat.
The Cabled Swing Poncho on page 65 looks super cozy! This has a hood and pretty cable pattern, designed by Michele Wang. Knit in Zealana's Aspire Tui, the poncho also features knit-in slit pockets.
I love, love, love the Ruffle Scarf on page 82 designed by Brooke Nico. Knit in Misti Alpaca Lace, very feminine.
The Entrelac Scarf on page 83 is gorgeous! Designed by Rosemary Drysdale and knit in Filatura Di Crosa/Tahki Stacy Charles Baby Kid Extra. Beautiful!
There are lots more great knits in this issue if you are looking for a last minute gift to knit for someone, or yourself ;-)
Happy Knitting!
