Yarn on the Runway: Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret is probably one of the most well know fashion lines in the whole world. However, what a lot of people don't know is they they not only sell lingerie but also other clothes. I was very excited when I stumbled on this Summer 2012 crochet line. In my opinion all the pieces are vey cute. Wouldn't it be awesome to have some of the patterns to recreate the looks. It would also be nice to have the bodies of the models otherwise the clothes don't look as good =D. Check them out:

Crochet Purse

I found this cute crochet purse pattern on the Lionbrand website. The skill level for this purse is easy so anybody can make one.  Keep in mind that to see the pattern you must register with Lionbrand. Registration is free.

Knit Sarafan - So Darling

Most people today probably don't know what a sarafan is. I'm not sure if the style is completely outdated or it's just the word that is not used any more. Basically, a sarafan is a sundress. It's probably not everybody's cup of tea but I think it is absolutely darling. I thought that I would share the pattern with you.  You can find the original post HERE (it's all in Russian).

Key 

Empty Box - Knit (purl on the back side)
U - Slip stitch
V2 - Knit two together
Arrow up - Slip one, Knit 2 together, Pull the slipped stitch ove the the knit one.
Arrow down - Slip one, Knit one, Pull the slipped stitch over the knit one.

Cute Knit Sweater

I think this sweater is just adorable. It's amazing what a couple of needles and some yarn can create. I wish I had this pattern because it doesn't look like it wold be hard to knit. Does anybody have the pattern?

I found the sweater at this forum:

Yellow Cable Knit Jacket

When it comes to knitting, I think that my favorite pattern is cable knitting. I actually recently learned how to cable knit myself. I think the reason why it took me so long was it looks so complicated that I was afraid to try. However, in reality it is so easy. Keep in eye on my blog for an upcoming post on how I learned how to cable knit and how you can to. Meanwhile, here is a beautiful, richly colored, cable knit jacket that I found on the internet. It looks very cozy and warm.

Here is the diagram:
