Welcome...
…to your bright spring issue of Knit Now!
As I write this,
sunlight
is streaming
through the window and it’s really
lifting
my spirits.
I hope you’re getting some
sunshine too, but if not, we’re bringing
some
brightness
into your life with this
colourful
issue!
24
A new season is a great time to embrace
colour, so whether you like the
vivid
blue
Laguna jumper (page 15) or the
rich
pink Pendants knit (page 50) we’ve got
you covered. Of course, you can sneak
in a
colour pop
to your socks (page 36)
or mitts (page 20) – and if you prefer
to stick to neutrals, the Knickerbocker
Glory sweater on page 79 shows how you
can have
fun with shape
instead! The
colour fun continues with Elaine Munn’s
brilliant cupcake dolls (page 54), and Vikki
Bird’s Daisy blanket (page 22) – and take a moment to admire the
adorable
cat
classroom on page 40. Sachiyo Ishii has excelled herself!
There are some inspirational reads in this issue too: Give a Knit chats to us
about the importance of using
knitting for the good of others
(page 59), and on
page 24, Lydia from Pom Pom Press explains the
passion
behind her new raglan
project. Plus, find out how one woman went from hotel owner to Gansey knitter
during lockdown (page 60)!
Keep smiling!
