Aprons are really big now (I've been caught up in it, but more on that later), so of course I've started seeing knitted apron patterns crop up here and there:
Angela's Apron from Interweave Knits, Spring 2007
I'd call this one downright ugly... it's the kind of knit design that makes you say "Ya know, knitting is great, but there are some things it is just NOT suited for.
This one is Party Apron from knitty's Spring 2004 issue (I guess that makes the designer ahead of her time). It's better than the first, but still, nothing that really appealed to me... a lot of knitting time for something that just rates an "eh?"
And another one (warning, this one's a pdf file).
Again, nothing to get excited about. I'd totally written off the notion of knitting an apron as a stupid idea altogether.
And then I saw the Knitty Gritty episode that my TIVO caught Monday off of HGTV (which may be behind the DIY schedule, I don't know), with this one:
And I was in love (trust me... this picture really does not do it justice... it's so sweet). I'm still wondering about the colors... the 70's color schemes were never my favorite, but it DOES give it a fun retro feeling, so we'll see. I think I need to go to the Llama store and look at the color card in person in order to make a decision. I also can't say that I know when I'll get to it... my want-to-knit list is already forever long. This definitely makes the list, but who knows when it will percolate to the top (although considering how much it's on my mind lately, it may make it sooner than later).
But...
I guess this means I do need another hole in my head after all. *sigh*
