I haven't purchased CK for some time, but this issue has a bundle of patterns that are simply terrific, and which I could see myself making and enjoying. In addition to the throw, there are these:
- The 'Seasonless Topping' - a pretty little short-sleeved 3-button cardi in an unconventional ribbed pattern;
- The 'Lacy Leisure Hoodie' - pictured in a denim-coloured yarn, it would be my first hoodie in years;
- The 'Cool Cropped Cardi' - as delicious as it sounds (though I'd omit the pockets);
- The 'Asymmetric Style' jacket that is oh! so stylish;
- The 'Embossed Daisies' long-sleeved polo pullover -- and the accompanying washcloth that can be knit first as a gauge swatch;
- The 'Simple Elegance Cardigan' that's featured on the cover, featuring two of my favourites: 3/4-length sleeves, and the colour pink;
- The 'Pearl-trimmed Cardigan' that is sweet and pretty and would look great in black, too;
- The 'Flame-stitch Scarf' that I know I can make in more than one colourway from my existing stash;
- The 'Hearts-are-true Gifts' - two delightful bags that I'd use to practice Fair Isle and beaded knitting -- and maybe not give away after all;
- The 'Ribbed Anklets' that are perfect for small amounts of left-over sock yarn;
- Ditto for the 'No Cold Footsies' - perfect to donate to my church group; and
- A selection of kiddie's and babie's sweaters in case any more of my daughter's friends decide to start a family!
Whew! I'd best get busy knitting!

Aren't those toys the most fun! I love mine. I even use it to wind the yarn off my wheels into center pull balls I can then ply together from both ends.
Happy mitre-ing
