The Knitter Magazine Issue 148 Edizione posteriore

Spring is just around the corner, although there’s still a chill in the air, so our designers have created a choice of both cosy sweaters and lighter knits for you. Featuring an array of elegant stitch patterns, our new pattern collection includes a vintage-style lace top by Mary Henderson, an intricate cabled jumper by Emma Vining, and Pat Menchini’s timeless cabled tunic. Dario Tubiana brings us his bright colourwork yoked jumper, while Sasha Kagan’s skills with intarsia are on display on her leaf-inspired cushion. As always, we showcase a range of beautiful British yarns, from Cambrian Wool, Shilasdair, Cat & Sparrow, Di Gilpin, and West Yorkshire Spinners. We meet the Scottish crofter who has launched the new Caithness Yarns range, chat with the team behind The Yarn Dispensary shop in Kent, and explore the history of the Welsh woollen industry. We look at the career of Di Gilpin - much loved for her work to promote Scottish knitting traditions – and bring you her feminine lace and cable gansey design, ‘Moray Star’, in our special supplement.
