West End Girls

Pet Shop Boys, taken from the album Actually

This week's edition of Retro Friday features the band Pet Shop Boys, and the song "West End Girls."

The Pet Shop Boys were an electronic dance music duo from the UK, featuring Neil Tennant on vocals, keyboards and guitar, and Chris Lowe on keyboards. They are one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. They are also listed as the most successful duo in UK music history by The Guinness Book of Records. The Pet Shop Boys have been recognized with numerous awards. They are three-time Brit Award winners and six-time Grammy nominees. Since 1986 they have achieved 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart, which include four number one hits: "West End Girls", "It's a Sin", "Always on My Mind" and "Heart".

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in August of 1981 in an electronics shop on Kings Road in Chelsea. They immediately recognized that they shared a mutual interest in dance music and began to work on material together. It was during those early sessions that several future hit songs were created, including "It's a Sin", "West End Girls", "Rent" and "Jealousy".

They orignially called themselves West End because of their love of London's West End, but later they came up with the name Pet Shop Boys, which came from friends of theirs who worked in a pet shop in Ealing. They received their big break in August of 1983, when Tennant was assigned by Smash Hits to interview The Police in New York. During their trip to New York, the duo managed to have lunch with their idol, Hi-NRG records producer Bobby Orlando. They got Orlando to listen to their demo tape, and Orlando then invited them to make a record with him.

In April 1984, the Orlando-produced "West End Girls" was released, which became an instant club hit in Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was merely a minor dance hit in Belgium, and France, and ironically was only available in the United Kingdom as a 12" import.

I love the song "West End Girls." This song reminds me of being at one of those awkward high school dances where the boys are standing on one side of the room, and the girls are standing on the other side of the room, and no one wants to make the first move! I am so very glad I am past those days!

And here it is, for your listening pleasure ... "West End Girls."

And as a bonus track, here is "It's a Sin. " In June of 1987 the Pet Shop Boys released what would go on to become their second number one single, "It's a Sin". Despite it's overwhelming success, the single caused some controversy in the UK. Tennant's school, St. Cuthbert's Grammar School, in Newcastle upon Tyne, criticized him in the press, and Jonathan King accused them of plagiarising the Cat Stevens song "Wild World". Pet Shop Boys went on to sue King and won damages, which they donated to charity. Here is "It's a Sin" for your listening pleasure!

Where Are They Now? Gerome Sapp

Gerome Sapp, photo from

Born in 1981, Gerome Sapp grew up in a tough area of Houston, raised by his mother with little in the way of extras to be found.

She helped steer him toward a successful path that later included an important role model in his high school football coach, Lee Malowitz. Sapp played football at Lamar High School in Houston where he became a Parade All-American defensive back as a junior and the top-ranked recruit in Texas as a senior.  Acting upon his mother’s request to see the world, Sapp left Texas and became a part of a Notre Dame defensive squad that scored more points than the offense. He then went on to play safety for five years in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts.

Q: How did you make the decision to leave Texas and play football at Notre Dame?

A: “I didn’t really know much about Notre Dame as a kid. When I was about 8 years old I remember seeing them on TV. I thought they were a professional team, though, because they were always on TV. At about 13 I realized they were actually a powerhouse college football team. Growing up I did not really like Notre Dame. Florida State was my favorite team and I loved Charlie Ward. When the movie “Rudy” came out, my whole perspective of Notre Dame changed. When you grow up in Texas, the only schools you are exposed to are Texas, Texas A&M, and maybe Oklahoma. Once I figured out what the essence of Notre Dame was, they moved to the top of the list.”

Where Are They Now? Reggie Brooks

Reggie Brooks at Notre Dame in 1992
Reggie Brooks burst onto the scene at Notre Dame, switching from defensive back to running back in 1992 with great success. He once scored a touchdown while unconscious after fighting his way through six Michigan tacklers, a play that took its rightful place in Fighting Irish lore. Brooks then found more immediate success in the NFL in 1993 as a rookie running back for the Washington Redskins, racking up 1,063 yards in his first pro season.

Brooks was born in Tulsa, Okla., on Jan. 19, 1971. He played football at Booker T. Washington High School, and was originally set on staying local and playing football for Oklahoma or Oklahoma State. Instead, he followed in older brother Tony’s footsteps and played football for Notre Dame. He currently resides in South Bend, Ind., with his wife and five children ages 21, 17, 14, 8 and 1.

Q: Why did you decide on accepting a football scholarship from Notre Dame?

A: “I was very interested in playing for either Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, but by the time I got to be a senior in high school both of their programs were on probation. There were three other schools on my short list, USC, Miami and Notre Dame, but several factors caused me to lean towards Notre Dame. The biggest was the fact that Notre Dame had just won the national title. Also, the fact that my brother was already at Notre Dame and I had been there several times to visit him and had gotten to know his teammates. That really pulled me in.” ... Read more at NoCoastBias

Hold Me Now

Joe Leeway, Alannah Currie, Tom Bailey (1983)

This week's edition of Retro Friday features the band The Thompson Twins, and the song "Hold Me Now."

The Thompson Twins were a British new wave band that formed in April of 1977. The band consisted of Joe Leeway, Alannah Currie, and Tom Bailey. They achieved considerable popularity and success in the United States and the United Kingdom in the mid 1980s. The band was named after the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Hergé's comic strip, The Adventures of Tintin. The band's sound was predominantly synthpop, however they were joined on stage at Live Aid by Madonna and were at the forefront of the so-called Second British Invasion.

The band achieved success on the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at the beginning of 1983 with the songs "Lies" and "Love On Your Side", the second of which became the band's first UK Top 10 single. At this point they released the album, Quick Step and Side Kick (called simply Side Kicks in the US), which peaked at number 2 in the UK. During 1983, the band also opened for the The Police on their US concert tour.

Near the end of 1983, a new single, "Hold Me Now", was released, and was an international chart success. It peaked at #4 in their native UK, and reached #3 in the US in the spring of 1984 becoming their biggest American hit.

The band released their next album, Into the Gap, in early 1984 and became one of the year's biggest sellers. Hit singles from Into the Gap included "Doctor Doctor" (UK #3) and "You Take Me Up" (UK #2, which was their their highest UK singles chart placement).

The Thompson Twins were a classic retro band. Their synthpop sound is resonant of the 80's. The band, according to Currie, strove to "make something completely different . . . using technology." So many people at the time did not think good music could be made with machines, but The Thompson Twins proved the skeptics wrong. They continued on to become the leading purveyors of synthpop music. They were innovative, combining dance, pop and reggae music with experimental sounds to produce a string of distinctive hit singles.

And here it is, for your listening pleasure ... "Hold Me Now:"

And as a bonus, "Doctor Doctor"

Where Are They Now? Adrian Jarrell

Adrian Jarrell was born in Athens, Ga., and grew up in the shadows of the University of Georgia. Instead of following many of his classmates there, he instead chose Notre Dame and played there as a wide receiver from 1989 to 1994, receiving a fifth year of eligibility after breaking his arm during his Junior season. Here is my interview with Jarrell, walking down the memory lane of time spent at Notre Dame and a discussion of where life took him after football.

Q: What made you want to go to Notre Dame instead of Georgia, which was so close to home?

A: “When I was being recruited in high school to play football at the collegiate level, I was one of the top rated quarterbacks in the country. I grew up in the shadows of the University of Georgia, but UGA really wasn’t where I wanted to be. I was very familiar with many of the guys at UGA. I also saw what happened to many of these guys when their football careers ended, and they did not put education first. They did not have any skills to fall back onto and many of them were lost.”

“Notre Dame was another story.... read more at NoCoastBias!

Chloe Dancer

This week's edition of Retro Friday features the band  Mother Love Bone, and the song "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns."

"Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" is a song by the Seattle based rock band Mother Love Bone. The song is the fourth track on the band's debut album, Shine (1989). "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" is actually two songs sequenced together. "Crown of Thorns" is found by itself on the band's sole studio album, Apple (1990). "Chloe Dancer" was not released as a stand alone track.

"Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" is considered one of Mother Love Bone's best songs. Jason Josephes of Pitchfork Media described it as "one astoundingly great song." Steven Rosen of The Denver Post referred to the song as "trancelike epic." Spencer Patterson of the Las Vegas Sun comments that the song is "fantastically melancholy." Essi Berelian of the Rough Music Guide writes that it is "beautifully swirling." The Salt Lake Tribune found the song "eerie" and praised Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood's "powerful and emotive voice." The song was included by Rolling Stone in their list of "The Fifty Best Songs Over Seven Minutes Long".

The song was featured in director Cameron Crowe's 1989 film, Say Anything, however it was not included on the film's soundtrack. The song is also featured on the soundtrack for another one of Crowe's films, the  1992 film Singles (which is one of my all time favorite films as far as sound tracks go). It was also featured in the One Tree Hill episode "Pictures of You" in 2007 and can be found on The Road Mix: Music from the Television Series One Tree Hill, Volume 3.

I absolutely love this song. First of all, it was one of the songs on the standard play list for the band that we were "band-aids" for on college. Second of all, the song tells a beautiful/erie song that tells a story of love, life, and the struggles that one faces along the journey. I'm not really sure why I like this song so much, but the lyrics and sound are all pretty amazing.

Okay, without any more rambling, here it is for your listening pleasure, "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns."

Rock 'N' Roll High School

The Ramones, Chateau Neuf, Oslo, Norway [Helge Overas]
This week's edition of Retro Friday features the band the Ramones, and the song "Rock 'N' Roll High School."

The Ramones were an American rock band that formed in 1974 in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, near Queens. Many music critics give them the distinction as being the first punk rock band. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band had a large influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and across the pond in the United Kingdom.

All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", though none of them were actually related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for a total of 22 years. In 1996, after touring with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert went their separate ways. Little more than eight years after the breakup, the band's three founding members, lead singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone, had passed away.

The band's logo, based on the Seal of the President of the United States
Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania. However, since then the band has been recognized for it's influence over the years, and they are now cited in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the 50 Greatest Artists of All Time and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In 2002, the Ramones were listed as the second-greatest band of all time in Spin magazine, trailing only The Beatles. On March 18, 2002, the Ramones, including the three founders and drummers Tommy and Marky Ramone, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Ramones' musical style was loud, fast and straightforward, and was highly influenced by the pop music that the band members grew up listening to in the 1950s and 1960s. The band that were of most influence to their musical style included such groups as: The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Rolling Stones; bubblegum acts like the 1910 Fruitgum Company and Ohio Express; and girl groups such as The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las. They also drew some of their style from the harder rock sound of The Stooges and the New York Dolls. The Ramones' style was in part a reaction against the heavily produced music that was dominating the pop charts in the 1970s. "We decided to start our own group because we were bored with everything we heard," Joey once explained. "In 1974 everything was tenth-generation Led Zeppelin, tenth-generation Elton John, or overproduced, or just junk. Everything was long jams, long guitar solos.... We missed music like it used to be."

My favorite Ramones song is, "Rock 'N' Roll High School." The song "Rock 'N' Roll High School" was on the album, End of the Century. End of the Century was the fifth studio album recorded by The Ramones. It was released on February 4, 1980 and was produced by Phil Spector. Vocalist Joey Ramone was an avid fan of Spector's early work, most notably Let It Be by The Beatles. In an attempt to achieve a Top 40 record and gain some mainstream acceptance, the songs on this album are more "produced" and longer in duration, averaging around three minutes.

End of the Century achieved a top 50 placement, reaching number 44 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and number 14 on the UK Albums Chart. This made it the band's highest-charting album in both countries.

And now, for your listening pleasure, "Rock 'N' Roll High School!"

Where Are They Now? Marc Edwards

Marc Edwards vs. USC, from Aaron M. Smith, Odyssey
This is the third post in my series, “Where Are They Now?” featuring Notre Dame athletic greats and showcasing how their lives have changed since leaving South Bend. This week I interview former Notre Dame fullback Marc Edwards.

Marc Edwards was born in Norwood, Ohio on Nov. 17, 1974. He was named Ohio’s Mr. Football in 1992 as the state’s top football player. He went on to play fullback for the University of Notre Dame from 1993-1997. His NFL career consisted of playing for five NFL teams including the San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears. During his time with the Patriots, he won a Super Bowl in 2002. He is now married and has four children ages 13, 11, 8 and 2.

Q: What made you want to go to Notre Dame as opposed to Ohio State or another major university?

A: “Well that is kind of funny, actually! During the late 1980’s I hated Notre Dame. When Notre Dame was in the run for the 1988 national championship I was not a Notre Dame fan at all. I was rooting for Miami to beat Notre Dame. But by the time I got into high school, I started to change my mind.

Wild Wild West

This week's edition of Retro Friday features the band The Escape Club, and the song "Wild Wild West."

Copyright : Warner Music UK, Ltd., 1991

The Escape Club are an English pop rock band, formed in London in 1983. The Escape Club was composed of former Mad Shadows members' lead singer/rhythm guitarist Trevor Steel and guitarist John Holliday, along with former Expressos members bassist Johnnie Christo and drummer Milan Zekavica.

In 1985, The Escape Club signed with EMI and recorded the album White Fields, which was released in the following year. In 1987, the group moved to Atlantic Records and began recording their next album, entitled Wild Wild West. The album was released in the summer of 1988 and the first release off album was the single, "Wild, Wild West." The single very quickly became a hit sensation, and climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart while the song's distinctive video received a lot of MTV airplay. Notably, it was banned from being used in their homeland because it was claimed to have been sexist and offensive.

This may not be one of my typical Retro Friday songs, but this is one of my all time favorite songs from the 80's. It was released the summer before my senior year in High School, and I have great memories of this song, and the boy that I very much associate with this song. Unfortunately said boy has since had a tragic life story since High School, but I still have very fond memories of him, and this song brings them into full view.

And without further ado, here it is for your listening pleasure ... "Wild Wild West"

Home at last

Tanith's motorbike pulled into the driveway of Skulduggery's house. She turned off the engine, steeped off her bike and smiled, murder on her mind. She walked to the front door and knocked. Sanguine opened the door. He kissed her and said;

"Hey", he said in his Texan accent.

She giggled and stepped inside the door. She glanced around, looking for a trace of the skeleton.

"He ain't here darlin, I checked", Sanguine muttered. Tanith scowled furiously.

"Take me away now", Tanith breathed annoyed.

Tanith glanced at him, giving him a look that said '?'.

He grabbed her arm and they were gone, deep through the ground......

Tanith sat sprawled across the tall wooden seat, she had had sanguine get mortals to carve for her. She had one leg strewn across the left arm, and the othe hanging from the seat of the chair. She was bored. Her Texan boyfriend was off in America somewhere. Tanith sighed and started playing with her scabbard. She had been sitting like this for hours. She tensed as she heard footsteps approaching the cavern where her hideout was situated.

Skulduggery Pleasant walked in, his high cheekbones looking quite positively happy. He was wearing a dark navy pinstripe suit, with a matching hat. His skeletal hands were covers with black leather gloves. The light blue shirt he has on doesnt really suit him thought Tanith.

Skulduggery righted the silk pink tie he had around his neck. "Hello Miss. Low, how are you this fine day?", his velvet voice irritated Tanith.

"Oh skulduggery, I was hoping you would find me, I've been so lonely..."

"Really?" he replied, "what about Billy Ray?"

"what about him?"
"where is he?"
"somewhere in America"

Skulduggery looked at Tanith sadly. His old friend possesed by that blasted remnant. He took a step toward her. She was on her feet so quickly, her sword in her hand, he was quite taken back.

"How many cleavers do have with you?" she yelled.

"None", he said reassuringly.

Tanith stared. "How did you find me?"

Skulduggery looked at her. She stared back.

"Oh, you mean me", he said pointing to himself, " Oh it was quick easy actually, my detective skills are so great, well you see..."

He was cut off by a very angry Tanith.

"Get on with it Skulduggery."

He continued, " Ok, so with my great dectective skills," Tanith sighed, " I was able to track your bike, which you left in my driveway, back to here."

"How?" she asked quite confused.

"Because of the milage", he chuckled.

"Tell me?"
"Why not?"
"Because?" she asked irritated.

"Because", Skulduggery, " You know the saying ' A great magician never reveals his secrets?', well it's the same for detectives.... Great ones like myself, really."

Tanith laughed bemused "No it's not."....

Footsteps coming from underneath the ground. Sanguine was back.

Tanith sighed. She put away her sword. " No fighting today then."

Skulduggery nodded.

"Are you leaving?" asked Tanith.
"Then go"
"Ok, great hostility, huh?"

Skulduggery turned to leave. He was nearly at the entrance when he turned around.

" Remember Tan, Really, just remember, Every breath you take, move you make, all the smiles you fake, I'll be watching......."

He left. Just in time too. Sanguine popped up from the floor.

" Hey Darlin'"

"Whatever," Tanith muttered, bothly to Billy Ray and also Skulduggery. Even though he was long gone........

Maybe to be continued....... *thinks* I'll see....

    Every breath you take, move you make, all the smiles you fake, I'll be watching.......

  2. Sooooo good. Every1 else's fanfic is amazing, mine's rubbish. It's depressing.

  3. Awesome... It's like Derek himself wrote it. How long did it take you to write it? cause' I'm writing my own original story, I'm on the 21st page and its maybe two or three weeks into it.

The second edition of the Bronco Fan Day took place on Sunday afternoon March 24, this time not in Moorsele, but in Wevelgem, the homebase of the Bronco. During the previous Days, almost the whole Team gathered for the training weekend, and prepared the whole event getting everything ready for the Fans. Around 1PM, the gates opened, and the first visitors arrived. For the occasion, Walther Popelier brough over his magnificent Slepcev Storch.
The weather during the weekend was rather cold, so it was decided to invite everyone inside in the hangar, where the Bronco, Marchetti and Chipmunk were on display. Despite the snowy weather conditions, a large amount of fans made it, which was very well appreciated by Tony and the Team. The new gadgets were presented, thanks to Sylvain Artu for the great design of the “Jets are for Kids” theme.
Starting to become a tradition, the Barbeque was lighted and everyone could enjoy a delicious “Braadworst” with a fresh drink. It was a great time meeting all our fans, have a good chat, and receiving so much support. One of our big fans, Rudi, brought over his plans for an RC model he will be making of the Bronco. The visitors were really from all ages, young children to the mother of Walther who is 96 year old!

Behind the scenes, the Bronco Cheerleaders prepared a great dance act complete with pompons! In the afternoon, they did an awesome show surprising all visitors with their performance. Around 6PM, the last visitors started to go back home, and the second edition of the Bronco Fan Day was concluded. It was a great pleasure to receive so much support from our fans, and we hope everyone had a pleasant afternoon.

Thank you all for visiting, and we hope to see you back next year!

  Druid Mittens
It's always a wonderful moment when magazine previews hit the Internet because then we designers finally get to share some of our little secrets from the past year. I designed and knit these mittens up in the spring and really grew quite attached to them, so I'm really happy to finally introduce the two of you.

Druid Mittens (by b r o o k l y n t w e e d)

This pattern will be available in the upcoming Fall/Winter issue of Vogue Knitting, along with many other wonderful mitten designs from a handful of great designers. A little mitten spread seems like just the ticket for Fall knitting, doesn't it?

Druid Mittens (by b r o o k l y n t w e e d)

The concept for these was something intricate and beautiful with lots of detail. The mittens are knit in fingering weight Shetland wool (Jamieson's Spindrift, one of my all-time faves, in the 'Leprechaun colorway') and covered with texture. Not the quickest knit, but really fun for us detail-oriented-types. Or those of us who just plain love bobbles (I'm not ashamed).

Druid Mittens (by b r o o k l y n t w e e d)

The pattern features knit-purl patterning on the cuff, shaped wrist, gusseted thumb, and garter stitch straps flanking the sides (I had to squeeze the garter in there somehow). The palm is worked in a textured tweed stitch and the thumb features its own little cable motif that grows out of the gusset.

Druid Mittens (by b r o o k l y n t w e e d)

The mitten is closed with a garter stitch saddle - a little detail that I really love. The garter stitch panels on either side come up and over the fingers, capping the top seamlessly, a la seamless saddle shoulder sweater construction, and are grafted together to finish up.

Druid Mittens (by b r o o k l y n t w e e d)

Being such a busy little pair of mittens, they require some acrobatic needle work and because of it look pretty lumpy after knitting. I highly recommend a warm wash in the sink - which will do wonders for this pattern and Shetland in general. They seemed a little limp and less-than-impressive before their bath, but afterwards bloomed wonderfully - the fabric becomes much more cohesive and the cables pop. If you aren't an immersion-blocker, making an exception for these babies will really pay off.

Druid Mittens (by b r o o k l y n t w e e d)

I've listed the pattern over on Ravelry if you want to check up on all the specifics, see the other patterns featured in this issue, or queue the project for your Fall or Winter knitting.

Enjoy the issue!

How beautiful. Love the color. Thinking about recreating a pair of mittens I had as a child. Won't say how many years ago that was but... This is just the incentive to get started on my mittens.
Can't wait to get the Fall Vogue Knitting.

Yay for Jared! You deserve it. Everything you do has such a level of beauty in it.

I do not typically buy magazines, but I will make an exception for these!

WOW---I'm rightfully impressed. What an amazing job! Congratulations!

Beautiful design. Congrats on the cover!

Congratulations! The mittens are sublime. I do love that saddle finish.

I am so knitting these when the issue is out! Your work is amazing as always!

Awesome! Congratulations!

They are beautiful. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Your new mittens are lovely. I am so in the mood for fall and fall knits.

Your mittens on the cover?!?! Congratulations!!! How exciting! I can't wait for that issue to come out. It's chock full of great patterns.

Way to go on another successful pattern!

Please, please Mr. Postman, bring me my VK now! These mittens are worth the price of admission.

Congratulations! What beautiful mittens; makes me itch for some colder weather.

I saw these mittens featured on Rosie's Yarn Cellar's blog yesterday and immediately knew I'd need to knit them. What a fun surprise to see they're your design! Congratulations on the VK cover and thanks for another beautiful pattern!

They're great--I love the green cabley goodness. And, the cover no less! Congratulations.

These are so beautiful. If I could, I'd eat them!

I mentioned a while back that you would become a great designer. Perhaps next you will be writing your own pattern book too. The mittens look fabulous and I cannot wait for the issue to arrive here.

I've never been compelled to knit mittens but I think I have the perfect person in mind for this gorgeous pair. Congratulations!

Mitten mania!

Oh My goodness I love these. I'm going to call my LYS right away and have them put a copy of the new magazine on hold for me.

Living "up here" in the frozen North mittens are a must have, but these mittens take a necessity to a new level of accessory. Congratulations on getting the cover and I know that they will prove to be a popular project!

oh wow! Instant love! I can hardly wait for this issue to come out. Congratulations on your cover!

those are beautiful - and I love the color! congrats on the cover, too!

They are great. Congratulations. I think I'll have to actually purchase this issue.

And you didn't meniton that the mittens are on the cover.....Go Jared! You deserve all the exposure.

Wow, the cover and everything! Congratulations, it is well deserved. I may even have to break my no mittens/gloves rule for a pair of these these Christmas! Recognition for your skill and creativity is long overdue!

Congratulations!! I can't wait until mine makes it to my mailbox!! Also, thanks for the insider tidbits!

Congratulations! Those are absolutely gorgeous. I have been thinking about mittens lately, and I think I need to spin and knit these.

Congratulations, Jared! These are really nice! and color wonderful!
happy knitting,
sao paulo, brazil

These definitely deserve to be on the cover!!!! What a beautiful pair of mittens! And I love the green colour .....

I think they are perfect to be my first-ever-knitted-pair-of-mittens!

Whoa. Very cerebral. Gorgeous. Thank you, Jared.

Beautiful, just beautiful These look like they will be a really satisfying project.

Spectacular mittens, in a fabulous shade -- well done!

Viva la Bobble!

Stunning, absolutely stunning. Congratulations, I can't wait for the issue to arrive!!

They are so beautiful! Congratulations on getting the cover!

I will confess to not being a fan of bobbles, but I do like the design and have been thinking I could use some mittens. I also have a fair bit of Spindrift already. Now I just have to wait for the magazine to hit the stands.

Congratulations! I'm so happy to see mittens on the cover - and in Jamieson's too!!!! Can't wait for this one!

Wowee wow wow! Now THOSE are some mittens!

The COVER! Of Vogue! -- Congratulations, Jared! What recongnition!

That settles it, I am pre ordering my copy right now. Amazing job! I Love them.

They are very cute, we can see how much work you put into this babies as you call them, the coulour is so refressing especially for winter season, in fact that's really a great honor to be on the cover of the mag, but i think that your pictures are more beautiful

Wow! You made the cover of Vogue (knitting), just like a supermodel.
The gloves are stunning.

Oh wow. These are amazing. Even though they scare me a little, I daresay I'm going to attempt them. I've always wanted to try Jamieson's. I think VK readership is going to spike this issue. And congratulations on making the cover. So cool!

Congratulations! They are absolutely fantastic.

Congratulations !! That's fantastic, and a real credit to your knitting skill

Wonderful !

These mittens are so great!
And I'm soooo proud to be next of them ;)
I have to knit them.

Hey there, long time lurker, etc. As a former VK staffer I just want to say congratulations on landing the cover! It's well-deserved; the mittens are gorgeous. Glad to see the mag recognizing new talent.

Congratulations! The mittens are beautiful and very creatively put together! LOVE the color.

i may have just been convertedto bobbles. at least small bobbles, lol.

i may have just been convertedto bobbles. at least small bobbles, lol.

Jared, you never cease to amaze me! EVERYTHING you knit, I love! Stunning mittens! You take "classic" and give it tweak that it just plain beautiful!

Did you ever think that you would land the cover of a Vogue magazine? Incredibly well-done.

love these mittens! perfect xmas present for a good friend of mine, looking forward to knitting them! going to look for Vogue Knitting today.

You are a master artist/craftsman. I admire your design and knitting skills.

Oh man, you ruined my day! :-) I had several skeins of yanr laid out for my daughter to choose from for a pair of mittens which I plan to design--I'm going to put a braided cable up the backs. One skein is a yellowish green, just like yours, and that's what she picked And then....I saw your mittens! Oh man, mine are lame by comparison!

Congratulations on a masterpiece of mittens!

Mazel tov!

The folks at Vogue are lucky to have your magnificent work on their cover. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Swoooooon.... I am in love.

I'm visiting NYC soon. Do you know if there's a store there that sells the yarn you used?

Congratulations. You totally deserve to make the cover.

*GASP* Seriously??? You are amazing, sir :) Can't wait to try out this pattern.

They're truly beautiful! Congratulations on the cover!

I'm looking forward to knitting up these beautiful mittens! Congratulations on making the cover!

Hi Jared,
I've been working my way through your archives and it's been an amazing journey from hats on a window sill to these beautiful mittens on the cover of Vogue Knitting. You are an incredibly talented and fearless knitter. Thanks for being such an inspiration!

congratulations on making the cover shot! your pattern is another great hit.

Those were my favorite our of the whole preview!!! I love your knitting and only aspire to knit as beautifully as you do! You are an inspiration!

I noticed these on Ravelry a few days ago, and made a mental note to get the Fall issue of VK because of them.
Simply gorgeous! I'm amazed by your ability to design patterns that look so classic yet are so original compared to everything else out there... Congratulations!

Those are amazing and very beautiful. They are definitely cover-worthy.

I can't wait. Must. Have.

Congrats for making the cover! That's awesome and you totally deserve it :)

Amazing!! Gorgeous! Congratulations!
You need to publish a book. Do it.

I saw these over on Ravelry a few days ago and totally fell head over heels in love with them. I really need to make them.
I also looked at the preview for this issue and just love so much in it. I have never bought Vogue Knitting, but I will definitely be getting this issue!

Smashing! You must have been just thrilled to see these on the cover of Vogue. They well deserve it. I especially like your garter saddle top. Very clever.

Your mittens are one of the stand out patterns from a fabulous issue. Well done!

Just stunning. The minute they popped up on ravelry they were in my queue. I'm heading up to Santa Barbara this weekend to find some *perfect* fiber for them. No I don't need mittens in CA, but I do need to KNIT them.

Thank you again for such a lovely inspired design. Congratulations on the cover shot! I hope you frame it up in your office.

Oh, very nice mittens, and great name too. Congratulations on the cover, that's pretty exciting!

These are so nice... but such as everything else you knit. Can't wait to get that Vogue - never been a favorite of mine but I will get this one - just cause your great design are in there..

I've never bought Vogue Knitting before, but I'm definitely going to have to buy this issue. Your pattern plus several others are really fabulous looking. Congrats on making the cover!

Oh Jared,

I absolutely love yer works. I was so smitten by the latest red pullover and now you're makin' me happy with these mittens. Congratulations on having them on the Vogue Knitting title!

I looked at the preview of this issue - it's really tempting me to subscribe again! The mittens look lovely!

Those are the most gorgeous mittens I've ever seen!! They totally deserved the cover!! Congrats!!

--Anna (Diary of an Eccentric)

Those are FAB! Congrats on the gorgeous cover!!!

These are super-fantastic! I am getting ready to knit a pair of mittens myself (not so way-cool as yours) and then these are on my list for sure. Thanks so much, as always, for sharing!

Absolutely stunning!

gorgeous, congrats, and I am so buying this (just for your mittens) as soon as it's out!

You know, some of us dream of living in an alternate universe--- a place that exists only in movies or fictional writing. For some it might be Mayberry or Metropolis or the Star Trek galaxy. But for me, I think I'd like to live in Brooklyntweed, where the colors are rich, photography dreamy, the designs are gorgeous and it just seems like a perfect place to be. Your mittens are jaw-droppingly beautiful (as it everything else!).

Beautiful! (adds to queue...)

They're beautiful. Congratulations. Off to put them in my queue.

How exciting to be on the cover--congrats! :) The mittens are absolutely beautiful!!

I can't wait to cast on for those mittens! That's my favorite type of knit, a really special little project. Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!

Their just beautiful! I'll have to knit me some & I need to try out the Shetland wool too.

So awesome you got the cover!

There's a song in the musical "Bye Bye Birdie" that has now taken over my brainwaves because of these delicious mittens!

"I've got a lot of KNITTING to do!"

I see many pairs of these beauties on my needles.

"I've got a lot of KNITTING to doooooooo!"

the professional aunt

Another stunner Jared. All the small design elements make for a awesome pair of mittens, and I'm sure that they're an exciting knit too. I'll definitely be grabbing a copy of the magazine. Congrats again!

Great work on the mittens! Makes me want to knit a pair - and I have some Harrisville Tweed calling to me...

Congrats on making the cover.

Congrats on making the cover! That's awesome. Those mittens are beautiful.

Holy crap Jared! Congratulations!!!

Congrats! That is fabulous that you made the cover. I think I will have to make these, what a perfect pair of first mittens they will be. Love them!

Congratulations on being on the COVER! Those mittens are stunningly beautiful.
I love you because you are so modest.

This will give me a chance to give someone heirloom mittens. You are an inspirational knitter. I love reading your blog.

These mittens are so beautifully textured! Congrats on making the cover :)

Nice knit!! Happy you've got another stunning knit out for us to work on. The best part is the cover shot - and Vogue did a stunning cover shot for your mittens!! Terry

I can't wait to make these mittens! Thanks to all of the additional views you posted, I'm doubly excited. Woe be to the mailman until my issue arrives.

And there's no shame in loving the bobble. They're so fun!

Long time reader, first time commenter here...and OH. MY. GOSH. Jared, they are beautiful. All your work is beautiful (I tell myself that there is something you're bad at, it's not knitting or photography, for sure). I've never fallen in love with mittens (I live in Houston), but I'm making these.
G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. Congrats on the cover. You certainly deserve it!

Oh geez, I have been hoping hoping that someone would make a mitten pattern like this. I can't believe it! I am buying this magazine ASAP!!!

I already add your mittens to my favourites in ravelry a few days ago... but it's great to see them again here, with bigger pictures !
Congratulations for the VK cover :o)

I love them. I bet I'm going to enjoy the heck out of knitting them.

Those mitts alone will get me back to buying a VK after a bit of a hiatus!

Congratulations, Jared! It has been so much fun reading your blog over the past two years and watching your designer career grow. You are a true talent and an inspiration!!! Fabulous mittens.

Congrats! What an honor!

Congratulations on the exquisite mitten design and the cover of Vogue! Go Jared! Your work is always so beautiful, detailed and perfect -- you deserve lots more covers.

These are absolutely beautiful!! I have some spendthrift so I'm going to Rav to check the specs. I just love this color and I may go ahead and buy some more anyway. Congrats on getting the cover too.

Wow, the cover project--what a feather in your cap! Congratulations! They are lovely (even if they have bobbles, chuckle).

OMG!! They are just fabulous and being a Celtic gal I luvvre them. Many congratulations on such a beautiful design!

They're absolutely gorgeous. I completely love how detail-laden they are. I wouldn't normally knit mittens, but these are already calling me to cast them on!

they are lovely. great colour and i love the happy childish thing about bobbles in general. is it the aran braid on the side. another cable love of mine. i want to see the magazine now. it is great to see a designer developing on a blog, or a writer.

They are incredibly beautiful! Glad to see Vogue is catching on to what we knew all along...

Do you read this many comments? These are fabulous mittens... I've been wanting to make some mittens in this yarn. Gotta say I didn't right off notice the bobbles, because in general they don't appeal much to me. But on this mitten they are good. (mostly I think of bobbles, on a sweater, as a bunch of extra nipples hanging around, like venus of epiphys or something).

Your work is incredible! These mittens are so beautiful and so tempting to make that it makes me want to subscribe to vogue knitting again just because of these fabulous mittens!

Wahoo!!! The cover of Vogue Knitting ... I'll bet you're doing a 'happy dance':)

Congratulations -- the mitts are beyond fabulous.

congratulations! they are gorgeous. and on the cover!!

how much yarn did you use? or do i have to wait for vogue?

i think a bit of garter stitch is becoming a sort of signature for you.

bravo. they are, of course, wonderful.

Congrats Jared, and wonderful idea. The yarn and color is just perfect. I had to get some in pink to knit right away.
How wonderful to be on the VK Cover! We love your work.

Maaay god!!!pretty,pretty.

THey're wonderful--different--and I think they deserve that cover shot! Congrats on your designing career--may it last long and may it prosper you as well.

Gorgeous mittens. And congrats on snagging the cover! I hope you are a knitwear designer for the rest of my life (and beyond).

I love bobbles, too. Well done!

Congrats, beautiful mittens.
And next time they can ask you to take the cover photo as well. You're an excellent craftsman.

I can't tell how inspiring your knitting and your photography are! You are a multi talented artist. I'm not precisely a knitter, but every once in a while take a look at your blog just to take note of your amazing accomplishments. I wish you all the best (Paola from Naples).

Congratulations Jared!!!! Your enterely work is very inspirational for me. Hope you can write your own book. I think it would be the next step.Alejandra from Buenos Aires.

I don't usually buy Vogue, but I will this time!!!

Woohoo! On the cover, no less! Good for you - all your patterns are beautifully designed and executed!

These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your tips on blocking them too.

Absolutely gorgeous! And the cover -- WOW!! Congratulations!

Congrats on your mittens being cover models!

Hello Jared! It is so nice to meet a knitting designer boy. Your druid mittens are full of magic and inspiration. They remind me an old tale "Mists of Avalon", have you read it?
Best wishes from Brazil,

Oh snap - those are gorgeous!!!!!

CONGRATS on the cover too! Way cool!!!!!!

Congrats on the cover.. :)

Sure wish you would do a book. Love all your patterns I can find and you have so much to offer about yarn and technique.

I think one could say that you've "arrived."

Wow! These are amazing and combine two of my favorite things in knitting: tweedy color and texture. These mitts have both elements in spades.

Wow, Congrats!

These are so wonderfully gorgeous, can´t wait to get some good yarn for these. You have done it again, a design that is awesome!

BTW, us internationals don´t have your mittens on the cover - shame on Vogue.

I'm almost speechless, they're so stunning! I'll be buying that issue for certain.

I just wanted to say that I think your pictures of the mittens are waaaay lovelier than the cover, but what an honor to have your project chosen. Both you and the mittens certainly deserve the recognition.

Very impressive! You must be proud -- I'm excited for you!

I listened to the Sticks and String podcast that you participated in. Loved it! Checked out your blog. Love Elizabeth Zimmermann's blanket, planning how to make one, using your i-cord edging. And then, your mittens! Absolutely beautiful..stunning...have queued them up. Great work.

The mittens are stunning! Can't wait to get my VK issue! I am so happy for you! We will ask Gina to invite you back to Blacksburg and do a class on them!

Wonderful colour choice! Keep going...keep knitting!

Congratulations on the cover -- how exciting!

Pure knitting entertainment! I am having so much fun with this chart. Meditation knitting at its finest.
Thank you, Jared.
Karen Neal

Green. And cables. And all those details. You know what we like to knit and wear, don't you?

They are amazing, and would make an excellent pair of summer mittens at these latitudes!

This is the best mitten pattern I have seen in a long time. It alone is worth the cover price of Vogue, which I normally do not buy. It looks fantastic as the cover pattern! As soon as I saw it I knew I was buying this issue!

Just saw these on
http://knitonequilttwo.blogspot.com/ and had to do a websearch. Really beautiful design and yarn.

Jared, These are gorgeous. I have to search my stash for perfect yarn for them. I am on a yarn starvation until I get a job. I want to knit these now so I can wear them this winter.

Thanks for a great pattern.

They are really wonderful. I can't wait to knit them. Thank you!

Unbelievable! You are unbelievable.

I have the magazine and bought it for a sweater pattern inside. But after reading your description about the mittens, they are in the queue!! Yeah...awesome cover eh!!

You knit beautifully, but this is by far my favorite thing that you've knit. AND you get the cover! (which is, of course, far more important than winning my favor!) Congratulations!

I am so buying this edition of Vogue Knitting. On my way at lunch to find it, I have to make your mittens!

Cover of Vogue. Just came in the mail. Congratulations!

Belated but hearty congratulations!!!!

I hope you know, of course, that your photos are absolutely superior to Vogue Knitting's! Just lovely and lush as can be.

You definitely deserve this kind of recognition. Your color choices... Your designs... Everything. Just stunning.

I snatched up the first copy of Vogue Knitting as soon as it hit in my town. LOVE your work.

Keep it coming. You are a great knitting inspiration.

That's fantastic! Congratulations. I may actually have to buy the Vogue this fall.

they are gorgeous! great accomplishment and recognition!

I will have to buy this issue these are the most beautiful gloves I have ever seen!!!Hugs Darcy

I bought this issue specifically for your pattern. It's really beautiful. Thanks!!!!!

Congratulations. That's a beautiful design.

Knitting these mittens as we speak/type. My daughter saw the picture and had to have them, it gets cold in Chicago in the winter. The directions and chart are great, very easy to understand. Thank you for a beautiful piece of wearable art.

I have been following your blog for a while after being introduced by my daughter (who is also a spinning knitter like us). I loved these mittens and since I no longer subscribe to VK, I drove to the nearest news stand (58 mi one way) and purchased the Fall 08 edition just for this pattern. While I was there I also picked up the Debbie Bliss premiere issue which has some very nice Jane Austen inspired pieces in it. Thanks for such a great blog.

Congratulations! The cover is stunning, literally. The mittens are gorgeous!

I must say I absolutely loooove these mittens!!! My boyfriend felt the same.. and needless to say he got them for our anniversary. They were actually a quick knit once I got the flow of the pattern (1 week per mitten?) His mom loves them so much she wants some too! (do I hear Christmas present??) only thing is she wants them as gloves...so I'm going to see what I can come up with without ruining the beautiful flow of the cables. if you have any ideas they would be GREATLY appreciated!

I had a great time knitting these. The busy cabling, the variety of stitching, and the fun surprise of the saddle finish were the perfect daily antidote to dissertation writing. (And of course, they're lovely to look at, too.). Thanks!

Any way to buy the pattern without having to buy the whole magazine?

Aug 09 I just love, love, love these mittens BUT I'm a whole year adrift!!I also live in the Uk. Has anyone any idea where I can get hold of a pattern? Pleeese! Pat Chapman

I have just ordered the Fall 2008 Vogue Knitting just because I want this mittens. The are beautiful! With shipping I had to pay $25. Argh! All patterns should be available as downloads.

live in the UK it costs even more, that,s if you can find a web site where you can order it

The History of Tennal School - 1849-1949

I am a member of a local campaign group called Martineau 10 in my local community on the border of Harborne and Quinton.

We are trying to keep a historic building from being sold or demolished by Birmingham City Council, called the Martineau Centre, which is on Balden Road near the Court Oak pub / Hagley Road.

One of the members of the Martineau 10 group is Percy Lea, who was the former principal of the centre when it was an approved school called Tennal School. Percy and I are going on the Carl Chinn show on BBC radio WM next Sunday lunchtime to talk about the history of the centre and the campaign to keep it open for community use.

One of our group members has loaned me an old book published in 1949 which details the history of Tennal School between 1849 and 1949. The book also gives a lot of interesting background to social policy and legislation around young offenders from the early 1800s and the development of industrial and reformed schools which later merged to become approved schools in the early 20th century.

From a personal point of view I think there could well be strong connections between this area of history and my family history research as I have come across at least two ancestors who were round up off the streets of Birmingham in the early 1900s - one becoming a home child migrated to Canada by Middlemore Homes and the other apparently spending time working on a farm in Worcestershire - though I am not sure what kind of institution this was. I am also aware of at least one adult ancestor spending time in Winson Green Prison.

So who knows?

I have begun transcribing the book (which is out of copy right restrictions) onto a blog at the following website (note that I have to work from the rear of the book backwards because of the blog format):

  1. Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.

  2. When the school closed in the 1970s Percy as the last principal was instructed to destroy all records but instead donated a lot of general material to Birmingham Central Library archives and kept his own historical materials (obviously not sensitive confidential information).
