Spring Knitty - yay!

So here's PumpkinMama's unedited first reactions to the new Spring Knitty patterns:

• Cleaves: I am not a shrug person at all
• W: This I like - very pretty, and I really like the diamonds of texture in it
• Mariposa: cute, but not my style
• Cambio: Not something I would normally gravitate towards, but I find myself intrigued by its atypical shape
• Asana: I like the look of the front, but am not fond of the open back nor the ribbon straps
• Ribbon Xback: Pretty and I like the stay-on-ability of the back crossed straps
• Soleil: LOVE this - reminds me of Honeymoon Cami but with better coverage
• I do: Beautiful! Perfect for the occasion it was used for - maybe I need to start wearing sundresses and things so I have an excuse to make shrugs and shawls
• Spring Fling: very cute and practical. I like.
• Tie one One: these are pretty but apart from the unique closure, kinda blah to me
  
• Branching Out: been looking for a good 1st lace pattern -this might be it!
• via diagonale: VERY nice - I love Wendy's other bags on her site too - I might have to try one finally
• cocktail monkey: not a fan of cutesy girly bags, so this ones not for me
• itsybitsy/kitchen sink: These look both practical and fun - might have to pick up some kitchen cotton and give one a whirl
• wheelie: cute idea! I love practical knitting
• shade: ditto the above
• petals: good pattern to have stashed away when you need some adornment

Some things that could certainly make my list for sure. I was about to start Honeymoon Cami, but I will now have to do see if my yarn will work for Soleil, as that design is much more wearable for me in my day-to-day life. I have never been a "bag lady" but I think via diagonale might need to be knit, and I know for sure the kitchen sink bag would come in handy this summer, bringing the PumpkinBoy and his gear to the beach.
