Lately I've been noticing some beautiful knits in fashion mags. Here are a few that I had to rip. This jacket is by TSE if I remember correctly:

Those cables are very pretty.It would look wonderful in that Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk dark turquoise shade. But I hear this yarn starts to pill as soon as you start knitting with it.
This Kimono sweater is by Akris:

I'm sorry it's hard to make out, but I picture this with very high moss stitch cuffs and hem, and a dainty lace pattern in between, in Elsebeth Lavold's Silk Wool, which makes a very drapey fabric. That skirt wouldn't be too hard to recreate either and a great opportunity to try some applique.
It's good to get excited again about knits that aren't socks.

Oh my gosh! I totally took a picture of the cabled sweater too out of Elle or Vogue or something! I love it!
I love the cabled jacket. It's fantastic! I imagine it would be quite a challenge to try and recreate it, but not impossible!
The Kimono is pretty! You could base it off of Kyoto.
i love those projects... are you going to make them all? shiny lurex bootie is cute.
I love to look at fashion mags for inspiration. Check out www.anthropologie.com for great knits too!
Hi! love your blog. The cabled deep blue cardigan reminds me of a pattern by kathy zimmerman in the classic elite (new for 06) book called Sensations. Thought you might like to check it out...and knit it!!

Correction!! It's book # 9074 Essentials, not sensations. Hope this helps.
