This month’s issue of Knitting is a special 200^th rose gold edition. It features a spotlight on some of our wonderful regular contributors–so you can find out a bit more about the people behind the beautiful designs. We have interviews with designers like Brian Smith, Pat Menchini, Jo Allport, Natalie Warner, and Sarah Hazell. To celebrate the bicentenary issue we’ve focused on knits in beautiful shades of rose and gold. There are 25 glamorous patterns for you to enjoy in luxurious yarns. Including Beadnell shawl by Karie Westermann that is inspired by harvested fields and the glory of autumn, and features a lovely lace detail; Blooming twinset by Bronagh Miskelly that includes a pretty short-sleeved top and classic round-neck cardigan in a vintage-inspired cable and lace pattern; Emma shawl by Jacinta Bowie that can be worn two ways, in a waterfall style or as a stole, and includes a delicate lace trellis pattern and beaded trim; Francesca Hughes’s Plus Copper Shawl that is knitted in a gorgeous blend of British alpaca, Merino wool and silk and is the perfect autumnal knit; plus many more stunning designs. We have a guest column by Karie Westermann, where she asks the question: Why do we knit? We also have an interview with yarn bomber and ‘soft graffiti’ artist London Kaye, where she tells us about her mission to make people happy through crochet art. So with all that plus our regular features, you’ll find lots to entertain you in the 200^th issue of Knitting, out now!
