    1. To knit with a reverse stitch. 2. Thread made of twisted gold or silver wire. 3. To flow with a curling or rippling motion as a shallow stream does over stones.

I have to say this is the first VK in a while that has really captured my attention. I agree with you on all your "favorites." Maybe it would have been easier to say what wasn't nice in this issue.

Indeed. Knitting magazines (more than fashion magazines for me) are definately about dreams and ifs. And while I agree that we can effectively choose and alter the public presentation of ourselves, I also fear going out and being uncomfortable in my "presentation" for the duration of the evening. Alas, it is the stuff of dreaming that inspired us to take on those knitting challenges and maybe grow as knitters and humans, even if we chose not to attend the opera in a slinky silk/mohair romantic knit.
