I heart Phildar

I really really want to subscribe to Phildar magazine. Every single “catalogue” they put out puts me over the edge. I wish I could figure out how to subscribe. Do they do subscriptions? If anyone has a subscription, please teach me how to do this. I’ll do anything. ANYTHING.

As an example of how easily it would be for Phildar to make me their knitting slave: I absolutely detest bobbles, and I don’t like that bobbly cable pattern that looks like flowers and runs along the middle of Rowan’s Demi. On the other hand, I think it is completely necessary for Phildar’s AVISO Ficelle (from Tendances Spring 2, N° 468), and it may even be one of the main reasons why I like it. In this one it looks like paw prints and contributes to the feeling of wearing some sort of lion pelt.

Aviso Ficelle

I usually don’t like slouch; really poofy stuff makes me cringe. But I actually like this. It’s giving me strange, confusing feelings, like the time I was 12 and I realized that Leonardo DiCaprio was a boy.

  1. LOL! I almost choked on my coffee there at the end. I love Phildar’s designs too, especially the kid stuff.

  2. hahahahahaha…strange, confusing feelings…so funny. But I SO get it. I really like that sweater but it feels like I shouldn’t. I think it could be one of those sweaters that looks hot on the model but would be hideous on me. I really do wonder why Phildar doesn’t market to the English speaking market though. They would make a killing.
