In This Month´s Issue:

Our October issue offers a new feature called ‘Spotlight on’ which highlights a different knitwear trend every month – direct from the catwalk. This time we focus on sculptural knits and we tell you where you can find inspiring courses, books and patterns and how to put the look together. As usual, you’ll find exclusive designs from your favourite designers such as the charming Greengage jumper by Sian Brown and the Great Outdoors men’s sweater by Pat Menchini. Erika Knight whips up a pair of stylish mittens in her ‘More stash than cash’ feature and Bronwyn Lowenthal, founder of hand knit company Lowie tells of her life, travels and her new book – Head to toe knits. All this as well as news, reviews, events and much, much more.

Do not adjust your set

It's been quite a while between my writing my first blog and the website going live, but here it is at last! Hope you like it!

It's always great to get feedback from readers, and to see what you are knitting, so please upload or email photos of your favourite FOs and we can publish them on the website for all to see!

Talking of that, I dug out the eternal grey and black cardigan yesterday (I realise now that I started it six months ago - surely that must be a record!). The second sleeve was looking a bit sad and curled up: it must have realised I've been cheating on it with some lovely teal blue Colinette yarn. Still, having played away, I have returned to the safe and familiar - and have posted some pictures below, including a very 'natural' shot of me knitting at work. If only I could do it more often!











It's a horrible grey day here (and not just because of the cardigan) but we're getting very excited about Knitting 41, which will be out on the 9th August. There's a very special wedding supplement with new techniques and very glamorous patterns for your (or someone you know's) Special Day. My mother is very disappointed since mine is a (very, very) long way off but Deputy Ed Emma is getting married next year and had a great time sourcing lovely wedding products and trying on frocks during our shoot. K41 also has a feature on eco knitting, very topical at the moment, including a bag knitted from plastic bags, as well as some really beautiful patterns like the deep V blue jumper in Debbie Bliss cashmerino and Sirdar Blue cowl neck.

One last thing to mention is the first UK official Stitch n Bitch day, sponsored by Knit on the Net. It's Saturday 10th November 2007 at the Royal National Hotel, Bloomsbury, London, and the famous Debbie Stoller will be there!

Hope to see you there!
