Fall 2011 Knitting Mags - Part TWO

Here's another report on Fall 2011 Knitting Magazines.  So many plus size patterns this time, that I had to break it all up into several posts! :)

Let's start this time with two patterns for MEN! 

From the magazine called "Australian Knitting" Vol 3/No 2 (Winter)

The "Man's V-Neck Jumper" fits up to a 53 inch chest. Cool!
(Sorry - didn't get a photo of that one)

And in "KNIT" Issue 41 - Oct 2011
Knit

The "Sherwood Jumper" fits a 53 inch chest as well.

Interesting cables, and a nice neckline as well!

In that same magazine (KNIT), you'll find a ladies "Oceania Skirt", which fits up to a 53" hip.

Stay tuned for the next report, which will include size 3X and chest sizes up to 51 inches.

Thank you for your patience with my report this time.  I've been going through some crazy things at home, so I'm not my usual chipper self.

Talk soon!

Awesome! Love it!

I just wish they made patterns larger than 3X

I'm a plus size woman & appreciate the information, but I really, really do not want to see a knit skirt on someone with 53" hips!

I think it's a tapered skirt, so it would get more narrow down at the knees. I could be wrong, though.
