Victoria's Secret Fall Preview Knitwear

When I get a catalog in the mail, I usually consider it junk mail, so yes, I'll quickly scan through it, of course if it is fashion. I'll then toss it in the garbage with the rest of the annoying articles of useless information. The only thing is sometimes I miss the best designs when I do that. I've listed a few of the latest knitted pieces here from the Victoria's Secret Fall Preview 2010 catalog.

Fall preview Lambswool cable knit corset top - $68 at Victoria's Secret


Acrylic and nylon knotted tunic cover up - on clearance for $49.99. This one isn't a part of the fall preview, but I thought it was cool.

Beautiful New Free Patterns at Berroco

"Drift" cardigan pattern, knit with Vintage yarn. Vintage yarn is an acrylic, wool, nylon blend. You can either view the pattern online, or download it as a .pdf file. I like the colors "Fennel" and "Sloe Berry".

"Tarte" tank knitted in Mica yarn, which is a cotton, silk, nylon, linen blend. This yarn is sturdy and has a nice sheen to it for added dimension. I like the colors Vivianite and Abalone, in this particular yarn.


Please note that these patterns are not intended for beginner knitters. They are both at the intermediate level.

This is the best time to stock up on cute sweaters and other knitwear since it is so hot outside that nobody is buying them. Take advantage of this as they sell out fast.

Autumnal Knits for Men

Masculine off white cable knit sweater, Banana Republic's Monogram collection.

Personally, I like the red detail at the collar and cuffs. This sweater is made of merino wool and needs to be washed by hand. This is available in regular sizes as well as tall sizes.

Juicy Couture Cable Knit Sweater


This all over cabled pattern is perfect to use for various outfits. You can dress it up or down easily. This one is available at Neiman Marcus.


More knits to explore:


Alexander McQueen Bubble Cardigan - This one is very unique, so wear it to be different and stand out in a crowd. Don't be alarmed, the "bubbles" are not huge stand out bubbles, but are more of a textural fabric effect.
Maison Martin Margiela Happy Tweed Cardigan - This sumptuous wool/cashmere blend sweater is classic and minimalistic in style. It is perfect for anyone.
Y-3 Wide Collar Sweater Jacket - This one is extremely textural, with a high collar for windy days. It is on sale right now but only available in XL on this website.

Birth of my first cable, EVER.

So it has been a few years since I first started knitting. It has been about three years to be more exact. Today is a milestone in my knitting "career." I've never actually knitted a cable before, and found out quickly that it is super simple. I'm starting to knit the right front panel of the sweater today. There are cables on the right and left front, and on the sleeve cuffs. It is for a sweater pattern by Manos del Uruguay. The pattern is called "Metro Girl" and is knit in their hand dyed yarn. The color of this yarn is Hibiscus.
