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.

My first knitting workshop
2 December 2009
As the assistant editor, and a newbie knitter, it seems to be my job to be sent off on random tasks, test driving various things and dutifully writing up my often unintentionally funny adventures. So off I set on Friday morning, into the drizzle with the intention of finding Sue Culligan's cute little yarn shop Kangaroo, in the deepest, darkest Sussex countryside, to partake in a lace, circular knitting workshop held by Debbie Abrahams.
I ended up having a great fun day, not necessarily successful, knitting wise, as I didn't get past round 3 (I'm sure if Debbie hadn't had to keep ripping back my mistakes as shown below I would have been on round 20 by the end of the day but alas it was not to be) but good fun all the same. You can read my full write up in our February issue, in our fantastic 2010 Holidays and Courses Guide, coming soon!
Debbie Abrahams, patiently working away on my unfortunate attempt at lace knitting. Definitely harder than it looks...
Ta da! My finished product of 5 hours hard concentration. Hmm.
