Now that the holidays are behind us, knitters can pack up the gift knitting and return to the happy task of making sweaters for themselves. Winter stretches ahead of most of us for the next few months, so we might as well keep our laps warm with the row by row progress of a cozy knit. Stroll though the pages of the fall and winter issues one more time at your leisure, and see if there isn't something there that promises knit nirvana.
